well the process going from highly modifed to stock was pretty straight forward didnt run into any real major problems or complications, finally runs and runs good and NO IT DOESNT LEAK lol

i had a lifter tap when first started up and a BRAND NEW kragen belt snapped and broke part of the connector off the maf... oh well submitted a thing through kragen to get reimbursed for that....

readjusted the valves they probably lost pressure in the time it took me to tear down that motor to when i adjusted the lash this time. well readjusted lash after it warmed up and its good THANKS TERRELL for crankin the motor for me


and del if it wasnt for your motor swap i would have to buy alot of stock parts i only found like 5 rocker arms, 15 push rods, and stuff like that.. couldnt find stock timing cover i need to clean my garage

 

i let my lifters soak completely in oil for about 8 hours before i plopped mine in, but when i pay real money for that kind of thing, no chances.

i forgot to ask, what brand belt was it the old dayco or the new goodyear?

eitherway i bet you bought the cheapo one they offer anyways :P

 

its dayco...just sat in my garage for like a year...

 

it wasnt the polycog was it?

kragen doesnt deal with dayco anymore so i dont know how thats gonna go..

 

Ya I got to drive it and man all I can say is wow, that was fun! I can't wait to have it, plz finish as quickly as possible eric, I really need it haha.

 

if it was me i would say *yawn*

i thought eric was driving it to tahoe?

 

Last time I checked the plan was to get the car out of his garage as soon as possible, I don't know why he is thinking he should keep it that long that makes no sense. If he doesn't finish it soon and sell it to me then I'm not buying it that's retarded. It should be sold asap not a few months from now.

 

HE SEE's THE LIGHT

exspensive but car is badass
z28 vert

 

Whoa that vert is sweet, like the wheels

It has a dealbreaker for me though, the eyes aren't painted black

 

Well Robby, hopefully he didn't change his mind after getting it running.I just hope you get what you're looking for.

 

no i didnt change my mind lol

still want my hard top

 

your the weirdest person i have ever met.

 

Then we must agree that you aren't keeping your car for that much time, because that's just insane.

 

fwiw, I'd just find something else. there are lots of good irocs for sale on craigslist.

 

most are auto/LB9's and just about all the 5-speeds are carb or TBI. I still say swap in a 350/T5 into your Z28

 

let it go now before he change his mind.
oh btw, we should be able to go get your t/a since my wife is going to canada on the first week of june.

 

???? lol still have the $400 deposit lol...what crazy ammount of time lol i am not keepin it for months dunno where you all got that idea.....

 

you mentioned that you're going to drive to the tahoe cruise and that's next month .

 

 

You did say that...

imo thats ridiculous if you're trying to sell it.

 

 

Terrel, that's alot of darn work to swap in a T5 and 350 into my Z28, and personally don't think I could do it. Even still I wouldn't be happy with the color of the car, so I just can't justify doing all that work. Eric has exactly what I want lol.

 

Eric... you plan on picking up this GTA still, or no? I need to get my place cleaned up and put a little extra cash together at the same time, then I'll put a new clutch in my 91....

Let me know,

Jason

 

ya, of course i just got my own truck now so i need to get this iroc out of my garage,

 

*hoping* that this car is mine before too long. You know instead of taking it to the track you could be changing out the transmission for me! My friends are ready to help asap. I would like the car now haha.

 

if he doesn't want it, I'll take it off your hands. sorry eric.

 

sorry dude still picking it up....especially now that i have my truck....

 

u been talking about it forever, hurry up and get that other non running car to add to your collection!

 

i was only kidding and trying to make you go get it quick before it ends up in someone elses hand.

BTW, Thanks alot for the RACE GAS... Now if I only get my car's trans rebuilt the i colud put it into use....hahahaha
