Ahhh yes. I know all about cutting the virgin sheet metal for the intercooler piping. It was terrifying haha, but at least I kept the inner fenders and just did a couple holes for the pipes and air filter tubing. Man that setup sure looks nice! Can't wait to see it sitting in the car!

Updates!?

Yeesh! I guess I'll just keep putting it in 1st gear for now lmao expensive!

Ahhh that should help being on that part of the firewall! Yeah I did. Can you send me a link to the electric ebrake kit he got!? That would be great haha.

Ha awesome! I've never been to SEMA! Its a ways from Vermont haha. Thats awesome that the 17s did the trick! lmao I'm also glad the build thread could be of help some how! Definitely go with the Malwood under dash hydraulic master! Its 100% a pain in the *** and without modification of the stock...

Ah you'll do it one day! Though being in WA rocky mountain race week may be a better option! haha thats much closer! I'd love to do that one one day as well. ALSO, I'm surprised you recognized the car well enough from the live streams to know it was the same car here!

Thanks!! What a blast! Still having a hard time believing it! Haha

Thanks!! Where you there? I made videos all week as well to follow along but this one's the winning day! It was a pretty wild day!

Ahhh I couldn't remember if you had told me for sure but now I remember! Because then I looked up the Vega wagon haha. Its all coming back now!

Ohhhh thats an excelent idea! That will be super cool to get her in there! What kind of car are you thinking for a drag week car?

Damn! You weren't kidding, you have been busy with this thing! I know you've said you have a few of these cars, but are any of them 3 pedal cars? I still think this one should be a drag and drive car!! And of course, when you're tired of the ol 318 I think it should get an LS with a turbo...

Two! You got a shout out in two of them! haha

Thanks!! I'm glad the videos were a success! I hope they help inspire someone else to do a drag week someday too. Watching other people's videos is what made me want to try it!

Thanks!! Definitely learned a TON and gained so much experience being thrown in the fire. Here's a pic of the list with the average 1/4 times and 1/4 speeds. I never asked them what their trans were. The 66 mustang had a Dart block with twin turbos. I know that much. I THINK he told me it was a...

Little update! Got to race the car in the Midwest Drag Week last week!! What a great time and a fun week!! I started a youtube channel for anyone who wants to watch the week of adventures! They're all pretty short videos so they're fun to watch! It was my first drag and drive event and only my...

Lmao fiiiiine

Not sure! I had put out good numbers before. The last time the goal really was to fix some drivability issues which we did. So I may not! I'm a little scared too honestly since it killed the engine last time lmao.

Finally got the car back together and out of the garage Sunday! She runs!! And it has great oil pressure! The tolerances are opened up to the .0025 that they should be and still have about 50psi at hot idle with 10-30. Drove the car to work today as its first test drive after bleeding the clutch...

More to report. I thought it was detonation originally that killed this thing. However, the rod bearings looked perfect, and the piston and rings had 0 signs of detonation. After talking with a very knowledgeable friend (@TT5.9mag) and the machine shop who did the new work we decided that the...

Got to pull the bottom end apart Sunday! Drained the oil and ran it through a paint strainer. Nothing. Cut the filter open and nothing until I really spread the element open and deep in the V I found some material. I also checked the oil pump release to make sure that wasnt stuck open. First I...

Finally got to work on the car Sunday for a bit! I'm curious to pull the engine apart and see what I find! I think I'm gone this weekend though, so not sure when I'll get to crack it open!

Welp, finally got the YJ/CJ build together to the point I'm waiting to be able to paint the tub this winter, so the jeep got swapped out for the duster! Time to yank the engine back out and see what's going on! Getting the duster on the trailer with slippery snow tires was fun! lol but...

You're right, which is interesting that he says that in the description. In this video he said the new cam will be better all around except way up top. Hmmmmm

From my understanding, Matt designed "The Best Cam" to replace the sloppy stage 2. Has about the same LSA of 110.5 vs the 112. The lift is a little bigger being .595 vs .585. The duration is a little smaller being 219/225 vs 228/230. From what I've heard on youtube, it still has a rowdy idle. I...

Welp, greed is a wicked thing! As I had stated before I thought I had hurt the engine at the dyno because my hot idle oil pressure had dropped some which is my fault for asking to push the car more. We did address the drive ability issues while I was there and I should have left it at that, but...

So, yesterday I got the headers off, compression test done, new plugs in, new MLS manifold gaskets & headers back in and injectors changed. Car seems to be running much better now! It was raining yesterday and today so hopefully I can drive it tomorrow and see if its back to 100%! But it doesn't...

The amount of knowledge and brainpower in this thread is overwhelming for a peasant like me that's new to plug reading. Pretty incredible.

Interesting, and do you trust what he has to say?

Hey Mike, I think this is the same file that wouldn't download? It was also in that thread. Protected By Symantec

All of the trucks I've taken apart like early 2000s are MLS. I think all of the LS exhaust manifold gaskets are MLS, but I could be wrong there.
