Awesome updates man! I'm glad to see you kept the car and it's almost done Have a good time and Florida bud!

 

Great updates, awesome project. I did the same with my FIC 2150's. Very quick turn-around.

 

Thanks man, yea, im happy and angry that I kept the car haha. Hopefully it hauls *** when complete. I leave for Florida in the morning and got most of what I wanted to get done....done.

Thats good to hear. Hopefully I will have them soon after I get back next monday!

 

Well...now its the waiting game lol. I made my final order before I leave tomorrow. I got 10qts of Brad Penn 20w50 on the way, Amsoil trans fluid, a used starter, a new hood pop rod with clip and a longer remote oil sender line.

Off to Florida tomorrow to get married on Friday! Then its back to the grind on monday and to get this car running and put some miles on her before the shootout!

 

Congrats and hope you have a great wedding.
Glad I found this thread of yours. My motor is a Buschur getting built now. I was wondering if putting the t-case back in before the motor and trans would be a good idea or not. I think I will slip it back in after now. I removed the tail section and pulled the eng and trans forward with a camlock strap to slip it out. I think I'll put it back the same way but with a little help from a buddy this time. Good luck and keep up the great work.

 

make sure to ground the intake manifold! LOL.

now it will be your first time feeling real power. aka e85.

700whp+ easy all day.

should have asked me for the amsoil, and brad penn. i'm a dealer for both.

 

Congrats on the wedding and on the build coming together so well! You will love e85.

 

Intake is already grounded haha.

I just got back from Florida. So I might sound soft here, but I had a great time, and the wedding was awesome! We couldnt have had better weather. The days before it was so damn hot on the beach. Friday came along, it was high 80s, little humidity and sun shining. It was a great night with family and friends.


So now I am back. On my way home I was kinda running through my car on hat needed to be done. For some reason, I thought about my timing, and then I thought, I spun the tensioner pulley the wrong way. The dsm days came back to and I spun the pulley clockwise like a 1g. Now its tensioned and everything is good, but I dont wanna chance the pulley being the wrong way, so I gotta rip the timing back apart tonight and rotate the pulley counterclockwise. WELCOME BACK!!! I guess haha. work as soon as I get home lol.

I got my brad penn oil, my starter, trans fluid and my remote oil line. Should be a busy and hopefully successful week in the garage!

 

looking great man and a special congrats on the wedding. i wish you the best.

 

there is no way that pulley is on wrong if it put tension on the belt. also if you did the grenade slide through technique on the hydraulic tensioner then you're good to go. don't waste your time on checking that pulley!!!!!!!

nice spot for a wedding i like that. it is the same as a dsm. the only difference is the dsm is on the other side of the car lol.

 

It might not have mattered. I just didnt want to chance anything. On a 1g dsm, you rotate the pulley clockwise. On a 2g dsm and an evo, you rotate the pulley counter clockwise. I use the grenade pin method. It was able to slide it in and out with the pulley both ways and the tension on the belt was correct. So again, it might not matter, but I know the correct way on the evo is to rotate counter clockwise. I already pulled it apart yesterday and changed it lol. Took me a couple hours. I would rather spend the time, instead of wondering the whole time if that would affect something.

 

Thanks Dan!

 

Congrats to you & the wife!

Congrats man to you and your wife! See you at the Shootout!
