yeah wtf happened to the other motor

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

It had a crack in the block, but its ok it was only a 2.0L and I'd really like to put one built motor in this thing and have it be a 2.3.

That's the plan my friend, i'll try and send my injectors out tomorrow so that I know they are good for next week.
FIC's turnaround is pretty quick.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

so does that mean pg2?
i want a 2.0 6bolt bad but not a cracked one lol.

what the hell a post so nice its there twice

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

What happened to last years head? Are you not running a 2g head anymore?

Is this weekend soon enough for that OFH? I have the spring too.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Git r done!! Did you paint it white or did it come that way? No problem on the hoist, we'll get it over there tonight for ya. What injectors you running again?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Probably not.

I sold that whole longblock last november in hopes of building a new motor.
I'd like that spring ASAP, i guess I might be going out of town so i'm gonna try and have this motor running by friday or at least in the car ready to start before i leave.

I didn't paint it, its a hideous job but better than usual rust.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Sucks about the other block! Good luck on getting it up and running!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

no what sucks is i want ur old car ^

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Well I am off friday, I'll drop it off on the way back from Old man Hill's house friday night

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Let's keep the foreplay to text messages and out of here.

Thanks I appreciate it.

Picked up a 2G head from Goatblower, I took the lifters out last night to bleed them. Hopefully tomorrow or friday I'll get back to reassembly.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

isnt a blowie foreplay ir is that it for you

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Hey have you gotten to try out the manual rack yet? Kinda of thinking of pulling the piston on mine.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Car isn't running yet, not even close.

So far I basically have the head bolted to the motor and the head is empty.

At this point I probably won't make PG I just have way too much going on that trumps that. I'm gunning for some other track days this year though.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

wow that sucks man. too bad you cant find a good friend to help

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

lol, a couple of good friends helped me get as far as I did.

I'm just not all giddy for PG like some people, although the way work looks I might have thursday and friday off so who knows.

I picked up lifters/rockers, T-belt I was missing so we will see. It's doable easily I've put a more torn apart car together a lot faster.

I'll get pics up next post.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

prove it

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

You can do eet! Would be nice to see another car running that has been down. Get er done.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

To who?

It would be nice and i would be mega happy. I'll put some time in tonight and see what happens.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Injectors checked out perfect latency and flow all within 1% of each other they left FIC today.

Hopefully this new crown and filling doesn't render me useless the rest of the day because I'm hoping to get the motor together and ready to put in tomorrow.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

good luck man!! hope you get it done

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Tonight was a bust my face is still numb.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Giant thanks to Carltalon for coming out to help yet again, sorry I put him through working in shitty conditions. Another big thanks to Halon for the hoist.
The car needs the lower IC pipe remade, i need a fitting (3/8" to -4an) for the turbo feed line, and other random crap that will stop me from starting up the car soon.
But here is how it sits, first time it has had an engine since last november.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Looks good! Can't wait to see it up and running!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Sweet!!!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Nice you'll have it done in no time!! Just make sure YOU tell yourself that haha

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Come pick up this fitting

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Well I went to bolt on my flexplate to the converter and the bolts disappeared and were replaced by some parts store junk that were obviously cut down but the wrong thread.
So hopefully I can get some from the dealer soon.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

And here I thought I was the only one buying parts from the dealership. :tongue:

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

How does that even happen?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Fuck if I know, but the dealer does not carry separate bolts for the flex to converter, you have to buy the converter so yay me.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Fastenal should have them if the dealer doesn't.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Did you try MD952169?

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I did, $11.59/ea and won't be here till thursday.

I'm going to try fastenal and hope I get lucky.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

The car needs fluids and a 3.5" intake pipe then I can start it up.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Damn get this thing started! I think I have a 4"-3.5" reducer in my garage, maybe you can find a 4" intake which is pretty common? I will confirm tomorrow.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Just in time for the snow to fly!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Just noticed the title of the thread, this is like the neverending story! Im assuming you are cruising in this thing right now. :cool:

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I still haven't gotten an intake yet, just throw some screen over the turbo inlet.
