Matt sent me some better pics of when he was doing the floor and stuff

Made some subframe connectors out of some 75x40x3 rhs and glued them in

You won't need to drain the trans, some might spill out the converter but it won't be much. Try and pull the motor out straight, until the converter is out, if it gets pulled on an angle it could damage the pump in the trans

weren't they bad for cracking heads?

There's a explorer at wiri zebra with a complete diff at the moment . 3.73 lsd @f100_dreamin

Have driven a few cars with 3.5" exhausts, with adrenalin r straight through mufflers that work much better than you'd think - not that loud, no drone. All turbo cars though.

I paid pretty much that for edelbrock heads . Granted that was a few years back but it might be worthwhile pricing them up I had a clever head guy go through them as well, he said they were fine, only thing he did was valve springs were upgraded to handle boost . I used factory rocker gear to start with, but had to go to roller rockers cause the pushrods poked holes in the stamped steel ones

I used 318 magnum pistons in the last engine I built- better compression height and a true flat top piston with no valve reliefs

what application?

correct, 2 threads past the nut

if you just have 2x ujoints, you wont need another support, the steering column (if its got a bush/bearing in the bottom) will support one, steering box will support the other if the body is rubber mounted you will need some sort of flex in the system to allow for body movement on the chassis- either a rubber rag joint, or ujoints and a sliding shaft

yep as long as the brake bias is ok, ie lock it in the right position, or fit an adjustable bias valve

I have a 225 chrysler slant 6 hoarded away , have had ideas of putting it in an old style commercial vehicle. Might be too wide unless stood upright though. 245/265 hemi 6 Ford pre crossflow 6- 170/200/250

And fitted my aliexpress tubeless rims. Not too bad for china spec parts, little bit of de burring on the valve holes and had to tidy up the threads in the wheel nuts they were supplied with. Swapped the rear tyre to the front, left the spare and cover off, made a thing to hold rego and wof tags.

Much to @RUNAMUCK s dissapointment I spent more time fiddling with 2 wheeled things instead of working on the plymouth. A mod that the internet says is good is to drill out 2 extra holes in the air filter, I couldn't see how it would help that much but I did it anyway and went up to a bigger jet. Tried a 104, and a 106, it seems good with the 106 so I left that in it. I don't know if it's any faster, my butt dyno can't pick up changes that small...

Do the spokes rub on the caliper itself, or the pad carrier part?

5mm spacer + toyota= probably need longer wheel studs Or possibly

you might find it feels better once you get some lower profile tyres on it, stock balloon spec tyres and stiff suspension always feels a bit odd. like the tyres are doing the 'springing' what have you got the shock stiffness set at?

good, dark side, you are on it, rubs hands together, etc

Had this on trademe but nobody wanted it Logical thing to do is more mods instead, put a longer rear shock in, jacked up the front with some spacers on top of the springs, and some china pit bike knobbly tyres on it. Done some off roading this afternoon, it's good on grass and gravel, not so good on steep hills. And a bit odd on the road, the rear feels slippery around corners, unsurprisingly

not far to go now!! that bent rod was pretty impressive.

yeah that thing does a pretty good skid

Solo pesting today, went for a tour around whitford, beachlands, maraetai, clevedon, thru twilight road, some off roading at a new subdivision where I found a vespa kickstart lever will bring you to a sudden stop if it gets caught in gorse.

Got an exhaust that releases more of the ringaningding Had a 94 jet in it, I got a 96 and a 99. Put the 99 in and it seems to like it. It goes much better now. Went up a hill at wot for a bit and cut ignition, pulled the plug. Looks ok from what I can find on the internet? @Raizer what you reckon?

Nope. I keep the judging thing completely seperate from work.
