Just no time to work on the car lately.

Sooner or later I'll get something done.

FAG!!!

wharz updates?

He's been busy yo!

Man, somehow I never got the update to this thread.

It really depends on what tires I'm on when it comes time to run it. If it's on slicks, i'll likely be going to Kennedale or NSD. If it's on radials, I will only run at NSD.

Oh, I have some updates coming in the next few days.

Brooks are you going to be running the wheels off it out at north star mostly or the dale. I live closer to north star and would love to come check it out.

I keep telling myself ONE DAY I'm going to throw a turbo on my gen 1 lightning. I'd like to rattle your brain about it

You're lucky I remembered where I found that thing, because I didn't have it bookmarked!

Be prepared to want to buy everything on this site...

Brooks, red junction block in the floor board, where did you get it from or what brand is it?

No pics yet, not till the end of the week.

but...

The motor is nearly back together. I partially tore it down, heads off, pulled a couple of pistons etc. It was so clean and in such good shape, I'm not going to do anyting else to it. (it only has 50-60 passes on it).

Looks like it's 99% sure going to be EFI this time too. I wanted the added benifits of fueling control for the ALS tuning in megasquirt. This should make spool up a bit nicer.

I'll post pics soon.

lucky... I woulda had a broke crank or worse.

LOL at the tube, reminded me of this a guy posted up a few days ago.

[shumpertdavid]

If I thought it'd work I would surely drop a tube in mine, pulling the motor out for the 4th time is going to suck. I've more or less just left it sitting since I determined it was hurt last christmas eve. 499 miles on it this last time.

I was on the phone with a buddy after firing up my old SVO for the first time after the motor rebuild. Car started chugging and died. Told him I would call back and did the checks. Everything looked good. Turned the key and the starter buzzed and the motor didnt flinch. Wouldn't turn over with a breaker. O deer. Found a piece of trash lodged in the pickup (yes, re-used the pickup and didnt check it) after dropping the pan.

I love those little mistakes. Glad it was a no harm no foul.
