  1. Mark, The way mine is set up, the axle does not extend passed the outer CV cage, os if anything WAS to bump the end cap, it would be the cage.... The pictures here, will give somewhat of an idea: http://hybridz.org/nuke/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=30930 Tim
  2. I'm trying to look up some old friends from back when I first came to the States. Unfortunately all the people finder sites that I have tried wants $$ for a full report. Are there any good ones that are free?
  3. From another forum....had me in stitches, so I figured that you guys would enjoy it too!
  4. Move the damn car so we can see the 'flange' on the cover of that magazine!!
  5. Wow Mike, It's a good thing those LS1s are easy on cam changes!!
  6. I'm with Dale on this one. For that kind of $$$ I would get something that has some kind of warranty behind it and a place that I can go to and complain to a person if something is bad.....
  7. Recheck your firing order...
  8. That is hilarious!!! That cat looks totally disgusted!! Tim
  9. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see where it says stock internals anywhere.....Stock block..yes. The LT heads flow very well and the T04s are the perfect pair....
  10. You mean something actually went right for you!!! Sorry I couldn't help you out! Congrats!
  11. Keep living in dream land yungin....
  12. I am building a cradle dolly so that I can start and run my SBC build (with MS) out of a car, so i can run in the cam and check for leaks etc..... Anyways, I want to obviously have: At a minimum: Tach Water temp Oil Pressure And maybe: Volt Vacuum Fuel Pressure JC Whitney has some very inexpensive gauges, but are they inexpensive, or just plain cheap crapola? Anyone have any recommendations? I obviously don't want VDO or Autometer for this application...and I want mechanical where feasible (temp and pressure)
  13. Pull out the L6 and put in a V8! (that's my universal answer to any L6 problems)
  14. Like Aaron and Dan have mentioned...your best bet is going to be an LS1. Great HP, Great mileage and you will be able to get the thing certified by BAR as a smog compliant swap. Tim
  15. I think that you should edit your topic title to "Wish me GOOD luck!!"....since luck in your case generally means BAD luck! Hope all goes well for a change!
  16. Home made Tri-Ys using the S&S as a base: Diver side After High temp coating

  18. Damn Mike....you're a lazy bum! http://www.zcar.com/forums/read.php?f=4&i=157993&t=157993
  19. Actually Mike, I am going to turn mine around just like that and run a remote reservoir with a priming pump.... Tim
  20. JC Whitney has a couple that will work. Tim
  21. I'm definitely not condoning the above action, but if you look at this logically, older cars do pollute (in general) a lot more than the newer ones. Statistically, it makes perfect sense to try to clean up the older vehicles. Stop and think about it logically, and you will agree (once you take out your own personal agenda and emotion). That said, I will also (and have in the past) fight tooth and nail to stop this. If this was more about clean air and less about legislation and politics and money, then why in the world wouldn't they just create a 'emissions banking' system, like the RECLAIM program for large stationary sources (in the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) jurisdiction anyways). It should be completely irrelevent what engine you put in your vehicle and what emissions system you keep or do not keep. What counts should be what is measured at the tail pipe. So, under that philosophy, if you were to undergo a swap, you would actually get credit for the net decrease in emissions from what the maximum allowable would be for the engine that was removed, compared to the new engine....make sense? For instance, my swap.....I will be dollars to dimes, that my LT1 (without EGR, CAT, and air pump) emits less than the L6 2.4 with all the crap that it had on it...... It would make everyone happy....less emissions, more $$ into the economy (more people would likely undergo swaps thereby pumping money into the aftermarket and JY and replacement parts market), which means more tax dollars going into the State's coffers. OK...so it would still mean a smog test (1 time), but I think it would be a no-brainer!! Tim
  22. Well, here are a bunch of us (compliments of Alex):
