You want to make an auto car hook Scott is the guy you need to talk to.

 

im scared of when it does hook whats gonna break.

 

You won't start breaking **** until you start running in the mid 1.5 60fts. then it's a roll of the dice. I have made a 10 bolt go 1.45 60ft. 4 times in a row but the rear end was about to bust before i made it home but i drove it home and around town for another 2 weeks before rebuilding it.

 

project for this afternoon. hope it warms up a bit.

 

well i go to put on the pulley today and notice that the entire bottom of the car past the tranny is covered in oil. i knew it had developed an oil leak after the cam swap but i didn't know it was this bad. so i pulled the water pump and timing cover and some other stuff so i can loosen the motor mounts tomorrow and drop the k member down to replace the oil pan gasket.

 

Sounds like you got a lot done.

 

You did make sure you tightened those bottom oil pan bolts on the front that go into the front cover? Mine did the same thing and I checked those front bolts and they were a little loose and I mean just a little loose. I tightened'em up and the problem was solved. Just trying to save you a **** load of work on pulling the oil pan. Those gaskets almost never go bad

 

well they aren't loose yet so i can still go check them. it seems like the oil is coming from the front and down the passenger side. drivers side is dry. it could be blowback from that side of the front though.

 

Here is a couple of pics of the wiper cowl area cut out of Project Red Nightmare




I also got Project Black Nightmare out today. She started right up after sitting for almost two months!

 

double checked, all the bolts were tight. everything is loose or off now. just gotta undo the motor mounts and let the k member go down. i will save that for tomorrow.

 

well i decided on prothane motor and trans mounts so i guess i will wait for them to get here before i wrap this up. no better time to do them.

 

Perfect time for you to come get shoulder deep in a Volvo engine bay.

 

Hilton, if you want to wait til the weekend, I can bring my cherry picker over and pull that thing out. Just eat your wheaties cause its heavy lol.

 

i saw a clean white lt1 Z going down clyde fant this afternoon. anyone on here?

 

I picked up Uncle Rob's cherry picker this evening. I'll be out of town this weekend. I'll call you Wednesday.

 

ok. iwas at bass pro stocking up when u called the other day. ammo has gone up quite a bit.

 

Walmart still has the best prices. $29 for 100 45acp. About the same for .40.

 

I think thats what i paid at bass pro also.

 

Ammo has gotten out of hand. A box 159gr 7mm $34! I use to pay $20 a box just a few years ago. We have gone back to loading our own.

 

well i finally got the oil pan out tonight. jeez i had to drop the k member way lower then what i was expecting. now for the reassembly sometime. not now though.
