Bluebird, the DD and WW

PR. I like it, fairly easy to install. Just trial and error with the holes that you need to cut. Only complaint is they coulda had different pipes that were more to length in certain areas. unless it is just my install method, but it doesnt seem to fit all that well with a aftermarket aluminum radiator. and the couplers for the end tanks to pipes could of been longer, I had to buy some longer ones cause I kept blowing them off from the way the pipes sat in relavance to the IC, I had to clamp everything on the very edges of the coupler and the pipes and end tank. Oh well I guess, thats what happens when you want to save a bit of cash!

well i have a 3 inch inlet and outlet core and some piping....hopefully that works out for me...id prefer a vrsf kit though....

It will be a REAL tight fit! Well if your gout throuh the core support. My 2.5" pipes barely fit I had to massage them in a bit.

well im not planning on going through the hole where the smic went...i am planning on coming under the radiator and up to the tb....and as for the driver side i guess i will see what im gonna do with that lol but its coming around and across the bottom and up to the turbo...luckily i have a downwards aiming turbo....just gotta get a cast iron bung for an o2 to get welded into the o2 housing

Downward facing? What turbO are you running?

That's pretty sick. I think it's funny tho, that all of our motors are on engine stands right now lol

lmao well i am 400 dollars short of putting the engine into a new car! and i found some 650cc injectors for 75 bucks local! so im pretty much set! now i just gotta set up a datalogger and a wideband!

Haha, thats the story of a DSM though. It lives it's life jackstand and engine stand ballin. I am bout 4k short of putting mine back together.

I'm only missing a radiator, front mount (since both were stolen), and maybe two weeks of work... Only get two days off a week. Should be running soon

Oh and just last night I noticed my transfer case was stolen too... WTF. Btw my motor has managed to make it from the stand to the crane and is bolted to the tranny

Nice, mine will hopefully be gettin started within the week, I am almost done doing my bronco engine and once that is shoved in place and runs that thing is as good as sold! So then I got money to fund the car, I will be getting a clutch kit, flywheel, ss braided line, fluid, shifter bushings, oem tob and knock sensor. All clutch is act 6 puck, 2600 pp, and a lightend act flywheel. I will also be gettin a couple more gauges, oil psi and coolant temp, both will be prosport evo's to match my WB and boost.

Also started shaving the intake, took the lines off but leaving the ECI multi, I will also be shaving the lines off the VC and taking off the 2000, since it is a 2.3 now.

That's sick man! Called a buddy of mine in New York, and luckily he had an extra transfer case layin around. Hoping to have it by this weekend, I'm itchin to have this thing done and running again. It feels like forever since I've been behind the wheel I'd my dsm. Where are you from btw?

Thanks, and I am over in Phoenix, AZ.

how close is that to flagstaff! you have a fellow member who lives over in az in flagstaff area! u2 should hook up and get a serious build goin

Shot thtas like a five minute drive! lol jk

So debating on the 2.3 plan I had, or building a 2.4 LR motor instead? Only problem is that I would have to find a G4cs block at a JY... So that would add extra expense...decisions decisions.

why dont you just snag a 6 bolt 4g64 out of a early montero or early 90's mighty max and bore that out make a 2.7 liter =D

Haha already discussed that and it wouldnt be benificial or in the budget, talked to the builder and one would cost 4k for just the short block, then i still need another grand for a head. but for a lil over 4k I can have a whole 2.4 LR assembly.

i dont see it costing that much...pull yards see mighty max's all day and knowing the right people the parts wouldnt be all that expensive

Ya its just not in my goals though as far as power wise. just looking for 650 on a S362 from S&R, with the batmowheel upgrade. But that is after I get a tranny too.
