Anyone with the approximate weights?

In the middle of a project and deciding which way to set up engine and front springs and axles and pinion angles, etc... What are the weights of the OEM LONG blocks for the: Traditional gasoline 6 cylinder engine 3BT or 3B engine 6H engine HZ engine? Thanks! It's been a while but working...

I think you need to restomod the engine. There was about 8 years ago a guy who rebuilt the crap out of a 2F. I suggest you read his posts under something like "Big Gay Rebuild" (seriously). Either that OR go with flat pistons and add a turbo. I would suggest running 8:1 compression and using an...

No pics yet. Justin is still inspecting her. Best, T

I worry about your statements as the whole Ford/Firestone saga started because Ford told buyers to inflate to 20 PSI despite the fact that Firestone listed 30PSI as the preferred pressure. Combined with Ford's weakened A-arms, many people had blow-outs with roll overs and roof collapse. Some...

So, decided that I can't find time to work on the 1976 pig I bought from Kraig Hamady 3 years ago. Not a sad story though. Pig was gathered up and sent to Justin at Redline Cruisers. I bought an HDZ which will be turbocharged and connected back to its original 5 speed and water injected. Then...

Anyone? I have searched with keywords brushes and alternator and rebuild and no number is coming up for 24V volt alternators.

JDM vehicle. 1981 BJ-44. Alternator went south. What are the parts numbers for the brushes and what are the parts numbers for the bearings?? And of course... who has them? TIA

PM me if you are looking to sell this. I might be interested. TOBASH

You are a hippy, longhaired, Liberal, Communist agitator! I have always wondered about the HARD tops. Soft Tops are cheaper to get made at any auto interior shoppe. Best, T

For a time when I drag raced my 1966 GTO, I used to place thin brass screening between my carb and my manifold. I was turbocharged so the air resistance was not important (and my competition sucked so a 7-10% loss in flow was acceptable). I was worried about turbo pieces getting into the engine...

I'm very interested in your units for my 24 Volt Japanese BJ-44 RHD, BUT I am worried about Coolerman's salt issue post. Not only do they salt the roads here in NYC, I also drive to Montreal where they paint the streets with salt, AND I live by the Atlantic Ocean, so the air is full of salt...

So, now the little (and not so little) things begin... I need to place the new-to-me springs into the car to raise her 3", and then I will run 35" tires. and re-gear the speedo. (Any sources on speedo plastic gears and what ratios I will need to change to?) I have not decided on the new rims...
