New parts bitch
 

We finally got a vehicle to replace Joshes tempo of doom as the official QPR shop vehicle.

Anyone want to guess what it is? Pictures will be up tomorrow.

Allan's 1.8L Dakota? :D

Better ;)

Allan's 1.8L Dakota with a working tranny? :p

hahaha better

Any car that runs would be better than the Tempo ;) j/k Josh :D

The Talemino?

That is 100% true, no kidding about it

Josh knows, he won't be offended. For a free car, the tempo has served pretty well, but it definately needed to retire to hauling just josh instead of all the engines, stainless etc.

Hey, I can just put up the pic from the add duh. So this is the tempo's replacement.

ooooh,ooooooh,ooooooooooooooh. Turbo 2.4L please. :eek:

When the g54b dies, a wideblock 2.4 is going in. Might as well have fun with the parts hauler.

Now that's a Haulin Ass!!!

Just remove the drain plug and drive it so we can get to the modding!!!

Definatly sweet!

It does run a little bit too well. Maybe over the winter I will scrounge up a motor for it. Then when the clutch goes, that sounds like a good excuse to do a little swapping. I don't know what the 4 wheel drive system in this thing is capable of handling so a little research is in order.

Yeah it rocks.
And jana, the tempo does blow goat nuts, but it was free so whatever ;).

nice... atleast it can haul a little more than the tempo and its not a ford! w00t

Honestly, she can handle many-a 50 shot. How is the rear end? which rear does it have? I have first dibs of the rear, ok?

Nice try, the rear end is staying right where it is. It is in good shape. Do what I am doing for a rear end, fabricated 9"

I have been considering the Dana 60 so I don't have to say I have a Ford part on my Talon.

haha... yea i'm not a fan of ford in any form! but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. a dana rear end is definately worth consideration but would it be more difficult to fab in there? if you end up with the ford and someone asks... just say, yea is a 9" rear end :D

More power loss with the ford 9inch...right? Bad pinion angle? The dana is heavier though, right? Why not a 8.75" Mopar? Oh, that's right. I was thinking you were going with the 2.14 again, silly me. No really, the pistons in that G54B are spose to be really strong. I was just wondering which rear gear it has. I'm looking for the 4.11s or 4.22s. I still don't know which year has what and all...anywho. She can take a fifty shot no prob. You could always swap in the mani's from a quest and a 16G. Just need a SQ ECU and a FPR.

Nice, way hard to find a mitsu 4x4 in good shape, I would like to get one just like it.

Normally, I too would preach the g54B (it is a truck engine afterall), but i'm just gonna sit here and shut up :)

Nice Service vehicle... it even has tool box and plenty of light for swany's seconds ...

-E

There is a red on on Auto Trader with new paint that looks pretty good for $950 if anyone is interested. We looked at this one first and couldn't pass it up.

The g54b is an awesome motor.
In fact its so cool, that when it finally dies, we'll rip it out, use it as a anchor for something, and put a real motor in ;).

Gee, thanks swanny. hey, where did you engine go? Oh that's right, you thought a stock block that can hold 1000hp was a bad thing.

I read the title and thought you were talking about Kyle.

hahaha, no Kyle is just the new bitch ;) Ask him, I am sure he would agree. Kyle is doing an excellent job, it was a good move hiring him as well.

Parts bitch or a part bitch runner, its all the same.
joe

It rocks, runs nice and smooth.

Ok so what is this truck anyway and why are you making a big deal over the motor

Its not a bad thing, but a block that can hold the same power and is .6 larger with more than a 1.7x rod ratio isn't THAT bad ;).

Mitsubishi Mighty Max which can take an engine swap in the form of either 4g63T, 4G64 or 6G72.

The G54b that is in the truck is decent and has pretty good power for the miles it has on it, however, first sign of a problem, the bitch is coming out a much healthier motor is going in. It's all about beating up on stuff with the shop truck! The Honduh's will never know what hit em. (or went over them)

I love the Mighty Max. If I only had some more garage space. Keep that truck running. I want to see it at the All Mitsu Cookout next year. ;)

later,
Curt

It will be there in one form or another.

kyle this kyle that...... im glad you guys never asked me:( hurt my feelings..... J/k i cant work for animal crackers :)
