I should have my motor and trans out of my car this week sometime. Already started ordering new parts for it. I figure while its out why not build it a little? So I've decided to get a new fuel pump, cam, lifters, springs, timing chain, full exhaust(finally). Should run hell of a lot better in my new firebird. Cant wait to take it to the track. Ill post pics as I take them to keep you all updated.

 

I already swapped your motor for you!

 

does the splash act like the tornado :lala:

 

So when are you starting the swap? Let me know, so I can make plans to be there.

 

Yeah, I'll try to come and help too.

 

We're (DRD) doing a cam, nitrous and intake swap into my car if anyone wants to help! It's going to be on the 17th and I'm buying food. PM me if you want to come, it should be a good time.

 

well thank *** for that one

i was starting to think that you were going to keep that pos v6 in your car. well i will be stoping buy your house some time this week to check it out, oh still need to get that tank from you. so don't haul your car away yet. hahaha

 

Well this weekend I'm gonna have the motor and tran pulled out then have the car hauled away somewhere. while its out its getting a cam and all installed. next step will be to pull the white car in and pull that motor and just throw it in the garbage. and install the new motor. i figure it should hopefully be done by the first of june HOPEFULLY. We'll see what happens though.

 

I'll be done in a week....

I'll be done in a week...

It should be done this Sunday...

I hate pushrods.

 

yeah *cough* chris *cough*. hehe Soon we will all be faster! I'm kind of in control of all of it too. Seeing as how his motor is in my garage and the only way synapsis is getting his motor done is by using the rabbit to transport it. I control you all!

 

Ummmm, yeah. I know how many people with pickup trucks again? 4 of which are within 20 feet of me right now?

Hell... I'll just rent a U-haul pickup and go jump it before I return it.

 

Hey guys,
I can't do the swap and stuff where it was originally planned, so could any of you help a third genner out? We'd be doing a cam/intake and possibly nitrous swap into my car. I'd buy beer and pizza for those who went. It would hopefully be on the 17th or any time that weekend.

Hey quality takes time. And good parts cost mucho $$$ which takes even more time Just you guys wait until I fire that baby up for the first time, all the **** talk'n will stop

 

Yeah, it took 3 months for my motor, but check it out.... after one trip to the shop for them to correct my pushrod geometry, in the car it's going.

 

Super Shweet. You'll see my motor pic Thursday Going to order all my parts 2nd day air tommorow and try and get the motor all together by thursday night, which reminds me..................hey eric you're going to be around thursday riiiightt???

 

So much for quality takes time, eh Chris?

 

Yeah I'll be here. We need tp gp tp vail and get your cherry picker so i can get my motor out at least then get my firebird towed away.

 

alright but we're taking the rabbit and we're pulling the motor out of my firebird while we're there

 

we kinda have to take my dads trailer to bring the thing back. It cant fit in the rabbit ya know. Do you still need to buy the jack for it?

 

I'm reading all this and I'm wondering...



Where'd the quality go?

 

uhhh, by motor together I mean the short block ready with the pistons installed, the oil pump clearanced, ect. Setting up the valvetrain geometry, degreeing the cam, finding TDC.........all that will take at least a few more days off. I expect to have the motor COMPLETELY ready for install no earlier than 2 weeks. Still waiting for Josh to buy my RPM intake/carb/heads so I can buy my Super Victor intake.

 

hey eric have a tire ready to set that bitch down on.

 

Hey eric, instead of spending $$$ in gas and breaking our backs trying to pull my rusted lanky old engine stand out of the dirt in front of my firebird, take it apart, and reassemble it at your house (possibly a day long project in itself) why don't you just borrow Arlo's FOLDING cherry picker??? I already asked him and he said it was cool. I just don't feel like moving my cherry picker out from my firebird cuz I need to pull my motor out like now anyways, and will need to reassemble, blah blah blah. Lets get arlo's. Can I get to your place by like 8am and start filing my rings and stuff?? I really want to get that short block together at least, thursday is my only day off.

 

I bet you Arlo says, "Well you borrowed my cherry picker, which if you rented one would be X$... so you owe me...."


For anyone who cares... engine is totally finished now. I'm cleaning up my tools and reclaiming my dining room.

 

Harbor Freight is having a huge-*** sale... foldable cherry picker for 159$... 100$ off the reg price of 259$.

 

blah

 

That's not a very good example for a Moderater to set for the users, eh?

Whiteboy, what's going on with the motor swap?

 

 

Where did you go hiding off to??

 

I got my cam broken in today. And I learned that spring loaded pushrod tubes suck... hard....

Once I replace the tubes, fix 2 leaks, and change the oil (and figure out why my idle circuits are rediculously lean)..... it'll be onto the 250 mile breakin period. w00p

 

Those look like autozone turbo mufflers

 

Gotta quit thinking like a domestic, AutoZone doesn't stock 99% of VW parts.

Those are Bugpack dual quietpack mufflers which I need to keep the O2 sensor hot enough to dial in the carbs, then we switch to the straight pipe of utter obnoxiousness, and a 8 hp gain.

 

Nice chrome tips I must say!

 

"in the nuts.........in the nuts....."

 

:sillylol:

 

This weekend its finally coming out and getting a new home in my new firebird. If anyone is free this weekend let me know I could use the help. I just have to rent a cherry picker then I can start. Should take an hour to get my old motor out and then a few to get the v6 out of the car then just drop it in the motor mounts and I'll call it quits for that day. Let me know, Thanks

 

Mang don't be renting anything, Arlo already said you could use his. I'd help you this week but I'm supremely strapped for time since I need to fix my saab or lose my job. WAs almost late to work cuz Nina's car had some crap stuck in the carburetor.
