I'm no expert but Ive known of a few people using quadrajets so id believe theyre decent carbs, not enough experience with them to recommend a a rebuild kit though. When i had a 350 in my fj40 I ran a holley 4412 cause they're the popular carb for sprint cars and my buddy knew them well if I...

I actually have that lock ring but after taking another look at that drawing it looks like it should be on the other side of the retainer. I dont know why the guy I bought it from would have pressed out the bearing and flipped it in the retainer but that would make sense why it's not sitting flush.

I'm in the process of trying to mate a sm420 to a 3 speed tcase using a advanced adapters adapter. The sm420 and adapter I bought used from someone that was using them in there cruiser. I pulled it all apart rebuilt the sm420 and got a new tcase now putting it back together I'm having a problem...

I know he runs the engine on a stand and checks sensors and compression but I don't believe he does anything with the seals, at least for the main seal or oil pan.

Picked up the engine from bd turnkey and got the headers and camaro oil pan on. Debating now on if I should go ahead and replace the rear main seal since now would be the easiest time to do it. Just need to find if anywhere rents the alignment tool nearby.

Been busy with work but I've been chipping away at getting things done. Just got a new job in another state so now the plan is to hopefully get the drivetrain in by the end of the month so I can have it in one peice to push on a trailer and move. Waiting on the correct index ring for the...

Appreciate the quick reply I just sent you an email.

Looking for a fj40 3 speed transfer case in the Sacramento area ideally but can travel for a one in good shape in northern California.

No hurt feelings here. The picture did make the bars look a lot closer than they are. I got the seats in so I could confirm my measurements were right and everything clears fine. Unfortunately the thing with text is whoever is reading it is left to interpret the tone without the normal cues of...

Thanks for the part number, I appreciate the help and support. Thanks EWheeler aswell.

Nah luckily I can measure so my head has plenty of room at 6 ft and it's not like it's a Miata so I am not real concerned with a few extra pounds for extra protection, thanks for the concern though.

So getting close to finishing the cage. I basically have it all together just waiting on seat mount tabs to get here so I can get those tacked in then pull it out to fully weld. I finally got the new engine ordered. It is a gen 3 5.3l lm7 that I should be picking up around end of January. I do...

Also got the motor mounts cut out. I figured I could find motor mounts that adapt the old sbc frame mount location to the new ls style engine mount location but I was not a fan of the way a PO did the original sbc swap, so I would rather start fresh. I am now pretty much caught up on here as I...

Next I got started on building the metaltech jacksons roll cage kit.

I spent the next few years planning and buying parts when I could. Unfortunately I change my mind on what exactly I want to do occasionally. Originally I was just going to get another sbc and swap in a sm420, which I ended up getting a whole drivetrain of a sbc, sm420 and 3 spd tcase. Then I...
