MOTOV8R

Mustard has been parked since my last update for a shop project. I finally got that out of the way and she fired right up this morning. Love this truck.

Happy 10 year anniversary!!!

It does need a kW under the Power. Sticker time:) Fix for next round noted.

I would run the 87 carb. If you want to desmog the engine, there are many threads covering that.

I have had great success using an oscillating tool to cut bolts. Just need to buy a good blade. I used it to cut the OEM rear body mounts.

FWIW, Holley has a lot of units on clearance sale. I dont know what that means... Perhaps they are no longer going to be doing the 2bbl units, or hopefully they are rolling the Sniper 2 mods to the rest of the line?

Document what you end up doing. I am sure it will be very helpful to others. Especially parts numbers for joints and mods for mounting the column.

Currently looking at a Kia Soul or Toyota Corolla unit - heading to the pick a part place this Sunday to see what I can find. It seems from another site, both work in limp home mode, which is what we need when the ECU is not connected to the EPS...

I've dealt with a couple of rigs that were basically abandoned at my shop. It is not all that difficult in most places in a case like this. Talk to your DMV. Local towing operations usually have a pretty complete understanding of how to get...

Why do I feel the urge to stroke these parts and say ‘my precious’?

Measure your snap on the soft top?

Looks like 05-06 Equinox is the same part as the 02-09 Vue. Looks like they are available on ebay for under $200.

me, audibly cave man grunting in agreeable tones.

Nothing wrong with shims in the rear.

Well, there was this little box in the corner of the garage….

Patience, Grasshopper, you have just begun the journey. Add the green tea and see what's needed. At least it doesn't sound catastrophic.

In the short stop we made at CM I met Bruno who had this really sweet patina 45. We got this picture together.

Thanks for the nice comments on the rack. I got it all together in time to make the trip to Moab. I drove it there and back without any issues. It will handle 80 on the Highway just fine although it sounds like I am driving through a...

Odd Iron Off Road probably stocks them among their inventory of LED products.

Valley hybrid and George for the win 😁. Gonna try the kit and hope they can save the core🤞

For sure, you will need a speedy sleeve on that brake drum…. If you replace the TC extension housing, there are shims that set the preload on the TC output shaft bearing. You may need to add/subtract shims to compensate for differences in the...

You know Mike if you would stayed in Arizona your wouldn't need a pressure pot. Just about any sealed container painted black and set outside on asphalt would do the trick.

Maybe see if Georg @orangefj45 will take that one as is for a core against one of his dual seal units. Two birds one stone deal. Definitely sleeve it as well.

Many thanks to Living In The Past for the use of the loaner lens! Give it back to him with one of the first tries. I kept getting bubbles even when using a vacuum pot. To clarify the vacuum was to remove bubbles from the mix not the mold. I...
