Damn im in the Bricks class now...

+1 for westside, closer to me. I wonder if Westland mall/Sears would allow us to use their lot.

Looks like you focused more on the car...

Dig + the biggest shot you can imagine.

Wheres Pat at for the 2.3 swap?

I just finished playing Halo 3, amazing is all I can say.

I'm not saying its hard to replace a spun bearing. But I'm under the assumtion that he is not taking apart the junkyard motor and just swaping it in. And you can have the fastest car you want, but if you can't drive it, its not going to run 10.8s

Do you really want to spend countless hours on this swap just to find out it has a spun rod bearing and thats why it was in the junkyard to begin with?

Maybe I missed something, but since when is a 90 fwd tranny different then a 91+ besides for the shift linkage? The 90 and 91 awd transfer cases have different spline axles but seeing as how he will most likely go fwd who cares? Either way with a 50 trim he will most likely have it rebuilt since stock syncos won't hold over 400. Stock Gear Ratios MT AT 1st: 3.083 2.846 2nd: 1.684 1.581 3rd: 1.115 1.000 4th: 0.833 0.686 5th: 0.666 Reverse: 3.166 2.176 Transfer Gear: 1.090 Final Drive Gear: 3.866 3.562 Also shep, tre and others offer 10% longer 5th (evo 8 gear I believe)

A completely stock dsm should go high 150s low 160s but make sure you have decent tires. I've gone 130 at 4500 in 4th gear, with a 7 grand redline. (although most dsms quit making power around 5500 unless you have huge cams to feed it). Get a 90 fwd, bolt some weisco pistons to the stock big rods, run clevites and arps and your good to go. While its apart make sure to replace the timing belt, water pump and all the basic stuff. Maybe I'm biased since I have owned 2 90's but they do come with big rods, biggest stock cams, and the external oil cooler. Dsmlink seems to be the best piggyback for the dsm's but you'll need an eprom ecu. Also trannys like to take a shit, running syncomesh will help with the grinds but won't fix it, more like a band-aid. Dsms only came in 5speed. Some awd's run evo rear ends though. Shep also offers double syncorded 2nd and 3rd. Longer 4th, longer 5th, pretty much anything you can imagine. I'd look at dogbox if your going for a stage 1 seeing as its several hundred cheaper for the same setup. Pre 95 7 bolts show almost no signs of crankwalk. 7 bolts came in 92 1/2 I believe so if you go awd a 92 with a 6 bolt 4 bolt rear would be best. 89-92 3 bolts won't hold up to a 50 trim. Got anymore questions just shoot me a PM.

My talon always started, even with no rings in #2. Dsms are fun cars, just make sure you buy one that hasn't been abused. (to much anyways)

True story, the word street car is used way to loosely these days.

Maybe I missed it, but what size turbo went into that colt? Got any decent 4g63 motors laying around?

Brake cleaner...

Pat did you see my post? I have a front mount and 255 for sale. PM me for details

12 lawyers for 150 dollars? I think were missing something.

I have a saab 9000 intercooler if your interested. Also a 255 with a new sock. Goodluck on the project.

So your willing to bet your ford hooks better then an AWD talon? You can't compare which motor has made more power simply because any motor could make 1XXX with enough time and money. I think this comparasion should be based more on stock power and stock motor limitations. They both seem to top out at around 450-500 on stock bottom ends. Both motors can be had for decently cheap and parts seem to be just about everywhere for both motors. Whats the stock hp output of a 2.3 ford?

Nope thats corbin allens N/A talon, I drive a purple minivan for now since my motors out of the car. Are you a senior? I don't think I've met you before.

I go to school with Kyle, and it was a pretty good prank I must admit. Not sure if anyone else can top it this year.

Why not make him buy a car? My parents gave me 300 dollars to buy my first car, and I had to pay them back that 300. He will definitly care more about his car if he has to pay for it.

2 of those blocks are bitch. Except I need a lawyer not a motor right now.

L84wrk I saw that one the other day and thought it was pretty good. But I like FNQUIK

Hite is right down the street from my house. Its right by Woodys Junk Yard.

Did you do a compression test?
