alright so yeah i figured ide post an update of whats going on if anyone cares. the motors all ready to come out and im picking up the hoist/stand this weekend and puling it sunday monday then im gonna start braking her down and seeing how messed up she is.

and heres a shot of the UIM/TB i pulled off because my friend is gonna polish everything in my engine bay up starting with the UIM/TB.

Don't use silicone hose for you brake booster line. Use the stock hardpipe or something else that will not flex. Anyhow good luck.

Retrofit an FD manifold and TB.. Bigger seconadry plates.. And they're prettier.. And you're doing le front mount anyways right? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



You got lots of work ahead of you man.. Especially that haltec harness.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

I agree half the fun is almost over, but you are gonna be like a 4 yr old @ x-mas opening the motor up, hmm whats inside????

thats if he can get the flywheel off

which i completely forgot. 54mm right? god damn i dont know how im getting it off. mike i think you need to come over and help me.

I thought it was 52mm.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

I used 2 1/8 socket when I broke my flywheel loose. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Spaeking of which has anyone actually dynoed to see if the FD manifold really helps that much or what it improves?

It will have SOME improvement, the secondary throttle plates have +5 mm to them, runners are straighter so you can port them with an extension on your grinder or whatever you want to use..



Not to mention it looks a million times better when you are running a front mount.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

what drive is that?

3/4" I believe I have to use an adapter from my 1/2" drive rachet for my 54mm socket.

true, i thought the drive was bigger. ah well i gotta go buy that socket somewhere.

i have the socket and 3/4" breaker bar.........but i am here lol

i rented a 3/4 inch electric impact... good for 375 ft.lbs.. socket from sears

umm i gotta come over soon anyways and get that motor...if its even still there.

Still, i wanna see actualy Dyno numbers.

2 1/8" .... 54mm

so fine don't do it until the day you see dyno numbers



you'll probably be waiting a long time before someone gives you the go-ahead to do it..

i know you got the socket. come over and take it off. haha.

I got one at my work.. And a bigass breaker bar to go with it.. But you know.. Canada and ****.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

yeah ... u know... NJ and ****.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

colin has an excuse, do i have to make it a meet/party at my house to take off the freakin flywheel bolt?

Just wondering if anyone had any actual numbers.
