I'm getting the 'I wanna be different' bug. Plus, it's a smoother running motor, us old fart like that kind of shit. :biglaugh:

I don't know exactly how they happened, but due to the way they arc, I'd say it was done by someone as I can't see something rubbing against you car that way. They don't appear to be deep, can you polish them out?

I see water dripping off of the lip, do you wear a ring & did it rub the car while washing it?

You should be able to find the correct one, just make sure you're looking at the correct one according to the year of your car. Also, take the time to read the manual. If you don't come to an understanding with the duty cycle, you chase your tail trying to get it set up correctly. Trust me on...

I think using a better picture & a lot more details would aid you greatly. Are you including the couplers? Are there any bungs? If so, which ones?

you can download both manuals here

I'm thinking of doing the 1J swap, so I'm trying to determine what I can sell me my 7M & tranny for. The motor has 125k miles & is in excellent condition. I put on a HKS MHG, all new toyota seals, new timing belt & had the head completely rebuilt @ 123K. The motor will come complete with...

IIRC, when you put it back together, put your crank pulley timing mark on zero, and both your cams timing marks on the notches, then put on your belt. The only somewhat difficult thing to do is getting your cps back in lined up correctly.

Nice & fat power band, 5000 - 6000 rpm you're around 500hp / 4700 - 6700 you're still above 450hp. What are your mods?

It's a crap shoot. Turn up the boost if you feel froggy, but don't be suprised if you blow it. I up'd my boost to 8psi shortly after buying my 89, BHG the next day.

JB Weld should fix it. I'd buy it from you if you sell it cheap, of course :biglaugh:

Feel free to stop by, PM me for my addy if you think you want to.

Secret? Does that means I have a security clearance? :biglaugh: Looks nice. Have you noticed any wear problems with the paint you're using?

I have to disagree. I ran a vortex sc at well over 600hp without many problems at all. I bent a rod, which caused a cracked piston, but I should have known better. After replacing the rods & a piston, no major problems at all. Regardless of what some posted in this thread, the 5.0 is a tough...

yes

I doubt it's shifting into neutral. It's probably slipping caused by you disks being burnt. When you pulled the pan off, what was in it? Was it gritty? What color was the fluid?

MIcrostation rocks! There is nothing I can't do, although my 3d modeling skills haven't been used in a few years. I'm no too concerned with the small stuff like cupholders, I'm looking for ideas on the overall design. I like cars that have a molded dash and center console, kinda like the...

sorry to hear about that. Bet it was fun just before it blew, wasn't it. :biglaugh:

Forget turbocharging it, go with a supercharger. It won't cost near as much because they can be bought off the shelf & and there will be little if any custom fab work required. On top of that, there is no lag time.
