    Dealing with the 7M Block Crack

    Show me a close-up picture like the one Tony posted of the middle head bolt/oil galley hole of a machined, non-cracked block. Until then, 7 out of 7 blocks (from different machine shops) is hard to dispute IMHO. I could be very unlucky, but more likely is that most people don't look super...

    Dealing with the 7M Block Crack

    For what it's worth, I have NEVER seen a 7m block that has been machined that did not have at least one crack. Two of them did not have this crack apparent prior to machining... My block has 1, in the exact location pictured (which, by the way, is the best picture I've seen of it yet -- my...

    New Guy

    The starter is fairly straight-forward. I generally use a number of extensions with 1 universal (wobbly) joint to get to the top starter bolt (socket-wrench will be just in front of/below the alternator)

    stock lsd, how do you it has it?

    Toycoma: The stock LSD will only work well for about 6 months with frequent drifting (~2 hours a week of slide time). Mine lasted 1 year with 6 months downtime on the '87 (and in that 6 months the '87 was down I went through 2 stock lsd's on the '84). Just a heads up cause I can tell by your...

    Whats included in a 5 Speed Swap?

    Correct. You will just have to short two wires to make the ECU think you're in neutral (allowing you to start the car), and will need to wire reverse lights. If your car has cruise, you'll need to do some other wiring, but my car doesn't so I can't help ya there

    Whats included in a 5 Speed Swap?

    one of the lower transmission supports ("wings") is the same on automatics and 5-spds. I can't recall which side it was though :( You'll also want to make sure if you have ABS, that you get a transmission from a car with ABS. The automatic sensor will not fit in the manual transmission...

    Pronunciation of Aftermarket Brands

    You are correct, many of them are not hard. However, some seem to be easy but are misleading so it would be less accurate to list only the ones that are unusual

    Pronunciation of Aftermarket Brands

    Being from a redneck area, I'll be the first to admit I don't know how to properly pronounce the names of many aftermarket companies. So with your help, I'd like to make a list and eventually put it in the resource area. 5 Zigen -- gozigen Aasco AbFlug -- ab-floog AC Schnitzer ADVAN --...
