ol' 320 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I would like to see the pics, from the side and the top, please. Ray, I know the guy at Mechman through a vintage Volvo connection, that's why I recommended them to you. I am curious which one they built for you. Don't worry, I have faith in you. I bet you know how to light up your life with all those watts! Joe, since you collect all the different engine sets for your menagerie of dattos, now you need an RB26 so the wife can accelerate into the horizon like a comet! But you know, you're going to need one more datto, 'cuz the kids won't fit in the back of the Z. Wayno is sure to be able to find you an exotic ute from Saudi Arabia ... 2 Quote Link to comment

earlyvws Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 No I haven't started the FJ. But I might since he takes so long. 2 Quote Link to comment

earlyvws Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Updates coming on this thread. Going to assemble the KA this weekend and try to finish up the mounts and test fit all the things needed. Finally got everything to move this along. 2 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Thank god i was getting worried. Hows the alternator going? lol :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment
earlyvws Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Ran into a small set back. No woodruff keys for the crank. Also Summit or Jegs may have sent the wrong set of bolts. I ordered head studs but i think they sent main crank bolts. Also I know they sent the wrong bolts for flywheel, they sent pressure plate ones. So more ordering continues. 3 Quote Link to comment
earlyvws Posted May 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Now I'm getting somewhere. Finally can get this back on track and finish. Motor done enough to start the critical fitting of everything that has been on hold. 6 Quote Link to comment

ol' 320 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 That intake manifold on ka, did u make it? Derek Greaser (posts regularly on Zilvia forums....) built this. He is an East Coast guy. Well known for building an NA KA24DE that dyno'd at 212hp. He built this intake for a customer who owns a company named Crackstar - so Derek put the logo on it. Then the customer promptly put a freshly built car into a wall minutes after picking it up from the shop. Derek parted out the wreck and sold me the manifold. 2 Quote Link to comment
