Re: The Mule rides again (sort of) - pics.
I had a friend over to help and we moved the engine over to the QC lab for some follow up glamo(u)r photos and a "final" weight. https://i.imgur.com/QiPNG1z.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/Ay2D3ko.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/nkLruHy.jpg?1 373 lbs including flywheel & clutch waterpump Accessory...

Re: LZ9 and LZ4 Fiero Swap Parts
Most people just modify one of the stock 2.8 brackets, however, I did test fit parts on a LX9 oil pan, and they do fit the same as they do on the LZ4 pan I have, with the exception of the taller vertical part, the LZx version is too short for the older engines. Would a dual use version be as simple...

Re: 1988 Fiero track car
New clutch, flywheel, and diff have arrived and are being installed https://realfierotech.com/download/file.php?id=1636 I hadn't noticed before, but you went with a Clutch Masters unit.

Re: New engine swap just dropped
If I was going to run a super high compression, very expensive engine...I'd probably go over to 4piston and pick up one of their ridiculous 450whp K24 based offerings: https://4pistonracing.com/collections/complete-engines/products/4pr-k24-k480 Oh, damn, aluminum rod and 16:1 as well.

Re: The Mule rides again (sort of) - pics.
I have used black silicone vacuum line for protecting harnesses and other tubing from rub areas, I just split it with a razor and zip tie it around the offending harness or hose. It is very flexible, durable, heat resistant, and can be found thin walled and in a large range of sizes and wall thickn...

I just received a FaceBlech invitation from MAFOA to Fieros at Carlisle next June. I should have The Mule running by then and be able to drive it there. ROLF!

Re: WK Grand Cherokee Diesel
Oh yeah, I received the intake manifolds a few weeks back and sent them and the off to a Jeep diesel/OM642/Sprinter (weird niche overlapping multiple markets) in CO for port + polish. Currently waiting for them to come back so I can shine up the intake manifolds, have them Cerakoted and send the Y-p...

Re: The Mule rides again (sort of) - pics.
After working on the Jeep and going to Navy drill over the last few weekends, I was able to get back to the Northstar last weekend. I finished up the injector wiring. The last thing I need to wire up before I have to put the exhaust manifolds on is the MAP sensor. I had a friend over to help and we ...

Re: New engine swap just dropped
I'm sure with some dollars unfolded they'd build a pump gas version. The concept isn't new in the midget world, and the original SD4 engine was built along these same lines, just not as technologically advanced. Mopar aluminum midget engines have been around for quite a while... just not using anyth...

Re: The Hunt!/Eric's new dump.
I think my plan is going to be to support the roof with temporary structures, take down the walls, bust the perimeter of the slab, dig and pack a reasonable footer, then lay block on top to support the walls, and the roof. unless I can come up with a reasonable way to to get some concrete under the...

Re: The Hunt!/Eric's new dump.
From an erosion standpoint, shouldn't grass help keep that from happening? Do you really need the square footage of the patio area? What about just demolishing it completely and making the house how it was with its old exterior walls? It's inland South Carolina... Pine forests have made the soil so...

Re: Lz9 + 4 spd manual trans in 86 GT swap
Made another sample, this one was almost spot on, except for the vertical member going to the block was still too long, I forgot to correct it when I made the other changes yesterday. https://i.imgur.com/5N65H4y.jpg Can you tighten up the slots? Do you have enough clearance in the hole for the bolt...

Re: WK Grand Cherokee Diesel
Will post a big write-up with a lot of pics once I get the whole thing done. I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned and wire brushed and Cerakoted the OM642 valley. I sprayed the Cerakote two weeks ago, then had drill last weekend. I finally was able to look at it this weekend. Wherever the Cerakote pudd...

Re: organization techniques
I'm making an attempt to organize my life better, so that hopefully I can accomplish more things, faster, and I was hoping that some of you would share the things that you do. Life or car projects? Organizing your life better may mean getting rid of car projects. For a project in general, I try to ...

Re: organization techniques
For lean six sigma, I learned using post it notes on a wall sized sheet of butcher paper. You can move the notes around if you need to change the process or reprioritize. You can use different color notes to represent different workflows. You can take the butcher paper off the wall and roll it up i...

https://i.imgur.com/MvPFxar.jpg Looks like a South Carolina yard I have three large pine trees left to cut, unfortunately, they're all leaning in directions that make it difficult to just chop and drop, I'll have to get up there and tie them off, and put tension on them while I cut. https://i.imgur...

Re: sluppy123 aluminium front hubs
These hubs were cut on a CNC machine. From what I see, the inboard and outboard sides of the hub were machined in two different setups. When the part was flipped over to machine the other side, it wasn't well aligned with the machine; the offset between the different setups (and hence the bearing r...
