SHES IN

The old 355


The Drop

 

Ill get some pics later after I throw the welds on with the 26x11.5x15 Hoosiers

half my pics suck

 

All those fancy parts and not even $2 for a can of paint for the block?

 

lol i knew somebody would comment on that...paints 4 ricers

 

And the bowtie breathers aren't?

What's C.A.R.B. going to think of that engine?

 

whats who gonna think of what now , leave my breathers alone

 

Ok... i'll move on to the windshield banner then.

Nice engine though.

 

lol came with the car plus i like it

thx for the compliments (and put downs )

 

Looks great, I'm just thinkin about how you stuffed that motor in the car on the side of the street like that.

 

i don't see any headers on that engine what kind are u using. i hope it's not long tubes cause they will be a pita to get in now.

 

Sexy motor....

Sexy 929 too....

 

That's the best freaking part. Good thing you don't have to deal with home owners associations. Hell I'll get the neighbor down the street bringing MY garbage can up if I don't bring it in soon enough because it's "ugly."

Engine looks good man. Is that ground I see through the heater vent on the firewall? Is there a floorboard? When's it going to be running?

 

How are you going to get it smoged bro. Cali is stupid when it comes to smog yo.....

 

hooker super comp long tubes, as you can see most everything other than motor itself is ripped outa there so shouldnt be too much trouble, if it is i can always raise the motor a little bit, only 2 bolts away

 

Thanks

My Gix Is Prettier

 

Nope not the ground its got floorboards, stripped completely but theres metal there

Ya i heard some horror storys about those home owners association stuff...all i can say is thats probably the only reason im happy im not rich

 

I know its coming up in august too know somebody?

 

thats badass doing it on the street and all ricers probally passed by and were like whats that big *** thing hes putting under the hood

 

I wish i did know someone so i could put in parts (illegal parts )

 

Bro i live across the street from an Asian Mall, no **** its called Ranch Market and everystore in there is asian based being resteraunts or other little stores...it was great

 

Your gixxer what? 600, 750, 1000? I'm a bike fanatic, I wanna know! I used to own a modded little 04 EX500, all I could afford at the time...but I put a Hindle full 2-1 on it, a K&N drop in, modded the airbox myself, tuned the carbs, some cosmetic mods, and a +4 rear Sunstar rear sprocket and RKSport 520 X-ring.... For a little bike that sucker hauled *** with that +4... Sure do miss it...had to sell it

 

That would be unreal if you could just bolt your TPI back on there for a day, and have a chip burned, and then pass.
What are you going to do about smog?
Have fun til Aug.

 

750

its on page 2

 

TBI for me

but i was asking you if you knew somebody, like i said it gets having to spend 300 bux to get it to "pass" if you catch my drift. Ill figure somethin out tho.

 

Nice bike. IMO, looks better after the wreck. See way too many cookie cutter gixxers around here, nice to see one that looks different.

 

like my horns

ya never see a blk/white gix, f*ckin expensive as hell to fix you have no idea how bad the wreck was, still cant believe i walked away from it

 

Glad to hear you walked away fine... Dont got wreck photos do ya? I never went down before I sold mine but am a firm believer in the fact that, at some point, EVERYONE goes down. Some people just don't believe that....but I feel that's asking for trouble.

 

dont really have pics, i have pics after i scrapped it back together telling myself my frame/forks/subframe werent bent donno if ya wanna see em or not.

 

Yeah man....OrLackThereof@cfl.rr.com

You mean, your frame was bent and you still restored it? Christ...can't believe it wasn't totaled out!

 

oh it was totaled trust me...my insurance stuff is well, you know

Frame Bent, Forks Bent, Tripples Bent, Subframe Bent, Plastics Destroyed, Tank Dented, Exhaust Bent, Front Wheel Bent

Only thing not ****ed up was the engine, tranny, swing arm, rear wheel you have AIM? JesasaurusRex on aim

 

well i gotta get off i added you to my AIM buddy list i got hotmail so i cant email em to ya ill talk to ya l8r if you're ever on...even tho you are a ford guy

 

Sorry I don't know of any such guy... At times I wish I did though.
If such a guy exists, I don't think he'd be happy about having his name posted on the internet

But if your car's still on the road after Aug, I'll know you found the answer.

 

how'd you doit on the street? I had the heads torn off, parts all over the place, tools everywhere and the police never said a word. My neighbor is an EMT and is putting on a deck. Cops stopping everyday talking to him. I get everything put back together. Tools cleaned up. I was putting a battery charger on my car and a cop stops and tells me I can't work on my car on the side of the street

 

I didnt assemble the motor in the street i just dropped it in there. Towed my camaro from my mothers house to my fathers house where i have been buildling my engine in his garage. Did it early in the morning um just got a cherry picker and took the old 355 out (already torn apart to the short block, i didnt dis assemble it right then n there and only figure out what was wrong with it then) set it on a tire on the side walk wheeled my 412 outa the garage and dropped it in...funniest part about it was there wasnt any parking infront of my house so i did it infront of the neighbors

 

Why didn't you paint the block?

 

nice, ya got ***** doing it on the street. Most people that do that are working with a car / or parts that look like a POS. Your engine looks choice and your engine lift / stand looks as good as new. How could they gripe about car show looking parts??? Im sure people would gripe if you were working on a rusty old dodge van as opposed to a clean looking sports car with lots of flashy parts.

 

Cuz paints 4 ricers

 

Thank you thank you, but then again the old block i did have sitting on the sidewalk

 

They were griping, you can be sure of that.
It's just that he got the job wrapped up before they had a chance to figure out who's going to be the one to come out and tell him about it.

 

i tried and as empty as my engine compartment is its still gonna be a pita, i shoulda done just as you said lol, oh well guess its time to jack the motor up some, anybody know of any problems if i place a jack under the damper or should i just use the engine hoist again, i know i should but a jack under the damper would be soooo much easier

 

yup yup 4 hours done and done

 

i got her running today guys, only for a sec tho cuz i have no oil pressure so i shut her off...aftermarket pump with an ARP shaft and a malory distributor, now i primed it before and with my drill i got 60 psi with it spinning as fast as the drill can spin so i know the pump works so my guess is my distributor isnt making contact with the shaft...but the distributor is all the way down so my question is do they make different length shafts or whats the deal? It came with its own shaft so im gonna try that but i figured every shaft is the same length so why would my ARP one not be long enough? Anybody think they know was up?

 

So, are you going to stripe all that ***** paint off the body and leave it bare too?


And, what about smog, you have not awnsered that?


Nice set up BTW.

 

no but im certainly not re painting it any time soon

smog what now?

thx

fixed the oil pressure problem by the way guys, amazing what a set of thinner intake gaskets and no distributor gasket can do
