Engine is out. No surprises today, which is good. I decided I'm going to put my Tomei Cam gears on this engine since I've had them for about 6 years and haven't used them yet, as well as my Comp Cams BBC inner springs on in preparation for future upgrades. progress pic:

Today! Adding a bit of much needed bumpage to this thread. My last update was July, and all has gone well with the car thus far. Retorqued the head studs, and have nothing major to report wrong with the car ::knocks on wood:: Spring is coming, and the car will be coming out of hibernation soon...

Wow, people tend to use the statement "thrown rod" a little loosely, but you weren't kidding! Reminds me of the catastrophic engine death that I experienced while driving my 85 s-10 2.8v6 to work one day. It was like the block said "All right, everyone OUT!" Good job rescuing it! I've always...

Ah yes, I just checked out his site. Looks like you are right, sir. I think I'll still tap into the factory harness and save the $130...

But I'm sure it can be done successfully, so long as you're not tuning for too lean an A/F ratio, no?

I still feel that those are the best factory wheels out there.

CPS could be off a tooth or even a few if it gets close but won't quite start.

Many thanks jetjock, I'm quite enjoying the direction this thread has gone!

what harness extension is that, arknotts?

3.0 GT: Whats your MPG? I like that this has JJ's approval :bigthumb: Very cool, Ian! I will be doing the same with my maftpro, and was aiming for 30mpg. Glad to see it's doable!

This thread makes me want my AW11 back worse every time :( Nice job resurrecting it!

Mine is going in my glove box. I will have enough wire so it'll reach at least the center console for quick adjustments.

Why not buy from Champion/Jay Marks Toyota?

That is some seriously cool news!

What are you looking to gain? I'd say 16:1 is about as lean as you should go with a lex/550/safc(?) combo. I don't think a few MPG's are worth the rebuild. What is the MPG difference between 14.7:1 and 16:1 cruising on the highway?

aww damn... more photoshoot is just fine with me, however! I look forward to seeing more super high-res pics!

:bigthumb:

lmao!

Very funny! :bigthumb:

SRZ: I strongly recommend listening to the advice provided. The "Idea" you provided IS set up for failure. The AutoZone kits aren't right just because they come that way, there's a reason that when I installed AZ fogs in my winter car I redid it all with a relay and larger gauge wiring. As...
