  1. that thing would have no power, unless you put a bigger turbo on it and management would suck bad. The only way you could run a vw tdi would be the older ALH engine code one, would be a sweet approach but way underpowered in my opinion
  2. Yup what Scott said, 5.3 aluminum headed truck motor (lm7) goto car part.com and start searching they are everywhere
  3. well, you would need a mail order tune at least to turn off vats and the stuff you are not using on your engine, you can get one for 100 or less unless you know someone with credits to hook it up for free since you dont need any tuning really. The harness you can do yourself there is just a shit ton of wires to remove, the techrods harness I used is real nice. everywhere wire is brand new and so are the connectors, the color of wires match the factory diagrams. All you have to do is hook up like 6 wires to your car and plug in the pcm then you are golden. Things can be done very very cheap or you can add 3-500 id say and make things look good and have some new stuff.
  4. I once thought about a little Caesars or subway franchise but way too much money. You must of been a hell of a saver in your short work history at 25 to have a good amount of retirement savings. Good luck though in your venture
  5. if it measures to fit the compartment all you got to do is fab some mounts or if you arent able to a chassis shop could do it cheap. you can use the truck manifolds as well in most cases and just make an exhaust, the engines are just so plentiful and cheap. If I ever build another car, it will be one of those how cheap can I build it deals.
  6. I know im leaving some stuff out on the above list but you could leave the truck intake and fuel injectors on it and modify the truck harness, but the accessories and clean the motor up maybe replacing a couple gaskets into any old car/truck and get the perk or fuel injected newer engine for proly 800-1000 bucks and just get a mail order tune or better yet one of dynotunes bench tunes for something that simple to turn off vats and some bs, and maybe add some timing and what not.
  7. went to a chiropractor for the first time due to some nagging sore spots when i twist my neck. Went to Dr. Alexander he is up in clintonville and did a free consult with an xray and then went over stuff real well. Did an adjustment on the next visit, I was out of his office within 30 min and felt awesome. http://www.alexanderchiropractic.com/
  8. No brainer for the prices, go with a gen3 ls motor. you can pick 5.3 motors pretty much complete less a couple accessories for 300-400 bucks. Most of them dont need shit to be comparable to most stock cammed/intake pre 86 sbc You can either modify the factory harness which would be cheapest or you can just buy a standalone brand new harness for 350.00, then just buy a 411 pcm for 65 bucks and you are in business. Im convinced that I could do a 5.3 motor swap in about anything for less than 1000.00 doing some cleanup and making it look good. And all you need is a bushing spacer to run your old th400 or th350 trans converter to the ls stuff. Really can be done cheap and have driveability and be better to tune on. this is for less than 2000.00 bucks and all you need is a tune and some odds and ends and you would have a nice running 5.3 or add about 2-300 more and have a nice running 6.0 5.3------------ 350.00 pcm----------- 65.00 harness new--350.00 alt-------------65.00 starter--------65.00 maf----------- 65.00 ls1 intake-----45.00 valve springs--100.00 cam----------- 200.00 gaskets------ 100.00 injectors----- 200.00 fuel pump--- 100.00
  9. 1700 each? thats crazy, he cant find a turbo aftermarket brand new for less than 3400 for the pair. I 2nd the rebuild, unless it is someone who can guarantee the rebuild and someone with alot of reviews id say no. Labor wise it would suck to do that job more than once for some shitty rebuild if thats what it came down to.
  10. Well they are not going to go outside their juridiction which is pataskala, they may call cpd or the s.o to look at a specific address and if they are detained then pataskala will come pick them up. Not many hours at all will be lost in this effort, its not like they will be sitting in your driveway or having a swat call out with containment around your house. There are many trivial things police must do throughout the day that take away from "catching a murderer". Also they arent going to have every officer working on that shift working the same MM traffic warrant. Also have you ever read the "police beat" in pataskala paper, not much else is really going on.
  11. There are more checks and balances in place than that of taking a "bribe" Im sure the fine/court costs are assesed by Licking County Municipal courts and Pataskala PD cannot simply open the excel spreadsheet and delete Joe Blows name and fines due. I guess some person could pay a shady cop a couple bucks to give them a pass from going to jail but the warrant/fine would still be active. Its an order in with a payout, pd takes you to clerks office if you have enough money to pay the fine, they un-handcuff you. If you dont they just slate you at the county jail.
  12. That is exactly what I explained above, thats how it works everywhere, the recourse for non payment of court decided action is jail time plain and simple. There are options whether it is a MM traffic offense or a ovi impaired M1 charge. Kudos to Pataskala PD for taking action to return revenue to the city for delinquent offenders.
  13. well if you commited a crime and the punishment in lieu of the 90 imposed jail sentence was to pay a fine and you did not hold your end of the deal up and pay the fine isnt that a crime? Shouldnt they just take you to jail for the original offense of OVI after you fail to pay fines assessed. If at the sentencing hearing, the judge says, you are found guilty of whatever charge and states that he is imposing a 90 day jail sentence but suspending the 90 days if you attend court ordered alcohol abuse classes and pay the court ordered fines. Next time just say, i dont intend on paying the fines and I dont want to goto the class and id rather not utilize the police resources on tracking me down, just take me to jail now.
  14. Yup seems fine to me, Im sure if the court ordered these fines to be paid to dispose the case then they can also place you in contempt of court for not paying those and you can get the 50 dollars a day time served paid while sitting in the licking county jail. For most people lessons arent learned unless you hit them in the pocket, its unfortunate. Im sure if these people were having troubles making a payment the courts would set up a very low payment program or they could of asked for some community service if they are really low on funding. Just my .02 though, In the end the goverment always gets our money.
  15. im guessing he just wants a bare housing and he is stuffing it with his choice of components
  16. looking awesome, curious to see how chads turbo does on the ls motor. From my talks with chad I'd run one
  17. It looks like most top end kits are around 400.00 for parts, I guess the only thing that would suck is if the clylinders are trashed, my understanding is that it is a mono block?
  18. whats difference from 2-3 i have a 2
  19. best way to get around the strip unless you want to walk it all is to ride the deuce, you can get 24hr passes that makes it real nice and you can ride that to downtown (fremont experience) Not sure where you are staying at or what games you like to play, I like playing off strip more and more everytime I go. Places like Rio which is real nice and still have low table minimums for craps or roulette
