Im not sure but I think my oil return fitting is still an issue. I will look again but I think if any option is going to work, putting it between 5 and 6 looks most likely. I have to get some new fittings and a hose for the return line first. Once I have that finalized I'll look at the option of...

yes, so help contribute to me completing the build! LOL

So, Im fitting up my turbo on the SSac manifold. The turbo is a T4 turbine on top of a 2" riser. The problem as I see it is that the oil dipstick no longer fits into the lower tube. There is clearence issues with my oil return flange on the block AND clearing the bottom of the exhaust manifold...

Probably got that PVC to make new intercooler pipes for his JC8 80 :icon_roll Sorry I wont be around for this event. I think the Mid Valley group picking up a few Portland members would be great. I'll miss you guys :cry:

Yeah, its taking its toll on me. I didnt get up until late today and it was pretty much dark before I even started anything today. I managed to make my T4 spacer though. It turned out pretty good for an amature welder. My V-band flange seems to have gotten lost in the mail. The confirmation...

What can I say, the sickness hit me. Im still looking for a dependable driver. Just one that is capable of over 400hp lol.

ok, Im too tired to do much other than post this picture of the progress... Need a couple of fittings for my FPR, have to put the pump in the tank, rework the intercooler pipes, do final work on bolting the turbo down, and still have a bunch of wiring and a little plumbing to do. Once...

well Im older now so I know better, but I know what I was like at 18...so I cant act like Im all high and mighty on the subject. I can say that I hope you live long enough to get to the age where you know better as well. But Im not gonna act like "Im pure as the driven snow" like some of...

"Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone"

Just a teaser of the progress... I was already told it was a bit over the top, and beginning to look ricey, but for now I like it and its really no big deal to paint it again, so for now it stays. But now that I have the interior back together for the most part I finally got going...

cant really blame the company you got the longblock from. Every 7M Ive seen had to have the exhaust studs helicoiled

I have one kinda like that Aaron, but mine ended better. I was working on my F-250 4x4 one summer afternoon. I took my expensive Vuarnet sunglasses off and set them on the hood. I made a run to my tire shop downtown and was coming back on hwy 99 when I noticed my sunglasses were STILL on my...

Nick...Bro, dont lose your licence before you even get your 5spd, lol. Shit when I was your age I did worse. I successfully eluded the police twice and unsuccessfully once. I had 32 tickets on my record by the age of 19. Fortunately I grew up...eventually. Too bad you didnt smoke the 'maro...

I know someone that dropped a timing cover bolt down inside the lower cover while putting it back together. We had to put the transmission back in the car just so we could keep the crank from turning while we took off the dampner and lower timing cover. *Coughtimcough*

A couple of months ago when I replaced the clutch on Lady (my white N/A hardtop) I had Tim come over and help me get it back in. We managed to get it right in without much fuss. Tim left and I started to clean up.... ...only to discover the throwout bearing still sitting in the box. :nono:

Well Im abstaining still from making my favorite known, since Im donating the prize, but some nice cars were entered again this month. Its getting so I have to keep putting money into the bottomless pit just to keep up with everyone. :naughty: The prize is going to be the 2nd to last Brace I...

Wow, I read the whole thread and have to say, what a bunch of numbnut idiots you all are. I have never made a single one of those mistakes! :naughty: but seriously, my worst one was...

Wow, look at me, coming is just below the average...typical :nono: Im gonna have to work harder. Or maybe Im gonna have to stop posting on SM at all and get my car done. Apparently I dont rate "fly in" professionals...but then again, I dont need them! :biglaugh: I work by day, and I have...

The fogs were painted, and quite poorly I might add, by the previous owner. I have since stripped the paint off of them taking them back to clear/white. I much prefer it that way.

Well after taking the cams out and seeing the journals on the cams, it didnt take an expert to figure out they were junk (I'll try to get a pic tomorrow). So I gave KevinM a call and worked out a deal for his already prepped head. Match ported and polished and ready to drop on, it saves me a ton...
