wheres the cool shit, you need some fiberglass and 10.5's

why you need 10.5 if you're running turbo that won't be able to spin them?

I'd suggest some 9's and lots of spacers.


And whats with uprading replacing the stock pan, to another stock pan? I know you got a hammer laying around.

racer x check your PM

I bought the new oil pan because Ive read that our oil pickups are rather picky and with any dents in it the oil pickup may not work correctly, I could have used a hammer and banged em out but Id rather have the new part on and not have to worry about it yanno? Helps me sleep easy lol

LongGrain-Replied

Somewhat of an update?

Finally got my brackets back from sandblasting--
Brackets primered

Painted blacck



I have a question about the 2 straight peices on the right farther down..

Power Steering Pump Pulley->removal

pulley off

Old vs. New

New one on

Motor mount...mount?

Alternator Bracket mounted & water pump pulley as well, easy install


On with the questions..
which way does this RAD hoses face? The new on [on bottom] has an "F" on one side and the old one has an"R" that goes towards the radiator--does F mean front of engine? and R radiator?

The two brackets on the rightt

One of them goes near the front of the block just under the intake mani ports--but is it the long one or short one??

there are a few more that i know of also..

so all this access to shit you need to do to this motor and you did none of them?

I guess bolt ons are more important.

Thats what i figured...
I smell another blown SR, u should have atleast done rings, and head gasket and studs....

i love to do shit backwards

What am I doing backwards?

Rings/HG/studs cost a whole lot more & require more money than I have, and Ive done the research to know Ill be fine. If I do blow my rings then Ill start over again, but Im not too worried about that.

Thanks for the support guys

Well I finally got the car up & the wheels off to find these

KYB GR2s. which will work fine until I go for my PBM coils
