Tractor Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Just thought I asked since its getting boring around here(read that cold) and I always love talking projects. I'll start with my current one Project vehicle - `92 Toyota 4x4 pickup I swapped out the 4 cyl for a carbed chevy 350 and SM465 transmission + NP 205 t-case. Im currently in the process of finishing the installation of chevy fullsize solid axles in the front and rear. I just need to install shocks, bolt the rear on, and hook up steering and driveshafts and it will be ready to go eat trails. The tires currently are Super Swamper LTB 34x10.50's, but they look kinda dumb on it and I built the truck to except up to 44" tires if I feel the need. Yeah its a trailer queen, but it does ride 1 weekend a month for around 10 hours;) Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted October 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I'm sure its not hard to get close for $25K, but I don't know enough about it to say if it is or is not possible. Pretty cool what you are building? Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need to find an S-10 soon... Also, does anyone know where I can get some parts off of a C4 vette? graemlins/burnout02.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinman Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 The SB2.2 RX7 project should be completed just in time for snow. And while I'm waiting on parts I'll be dropping a 98 3800 v6/t5 combo in one of my other RX7s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallard Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Originally posted by CR Caddy: That sounds like fun! Our team made a presentation to the president of our company and they decided to sponsor us. We are now using the car to promote and raise money for Habitat for Humanity. People can make a flat donation to us, or pledge an amount per hour of work a team member puts in on the car. We are keeping a log of who works and for how long. If anyone would like to donate, PM me. Not only would it help a good cause, but it would show support for the team and maybe the company will consider more things like this in the future. It's not often you will find a company support their employees in a project like this, so we are hoping everything goes weel so they're happy. I will probably make an 'official' post about this soon. I'll be able to upload some pics this weekend, then I'll clear it with the Mods so it's not interpreted as a solisitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Freshening up a 383, installing a lower-first-gear 350TH, and replacing these freakin 3.50 gears with some 4.56s.
