I'd try the dry ice trick if you can find some (Grocery stores usually get food packaged with it, good place to look). Basically you heat up the outside of the dent and apply the dry ice to it, and it makes the metal constrict and want to return to its original shape. Worth googling.

Of all the ...

just kind of curious because I am a curious person but did you try a heat gun to melt the glue before doing the cutting and tearing of it?

Not questioning your method of doing it and sounds like you got it off relatively easy but just wondered if that would have been an option if someone decides ...

basically your trying to make a dimmer switch and use the throttle to control it. Weather you want to make the dimmer part or just buy one from a store which would be easier and just wire a circuit for fading led's. You would definitely want to protect whatever circuit you make.


Here's what I ...

Thats cool.

Congrats

yeah deer = bad even the small ones can cause damage. I remember I had a small one hit the side of an old 88 sunbird I had. It was a decent looking car but had body work recently done on the side it hit. My wife screamed OMG the deer is it ok.......I said screw the deer he hit my car !! Im still a ...

yeah what 95naSTA said is a real good option for you. The EGR not working is a plus side to me with the nastiness it causes to an intake I tend to block em off on my older cars.

As for the funny sound if you want it to last a bit longer a lot of times it is a real viable option to go ahead and run ...

For the series 2 conversion:
I had to convert the original '93 PCM to a 'conversion box', it houses some relays and a transistor circuit (for the A/C), as well as acts as the adapter between the engine harness and the body harness. You also need a pass-through adapter to convert the newer firewall ...

I have seen a lot of em mounted through a hole cut in the fender well usually they make it to where the fender wall acts as a support. I have also seen some amazing fabrication and mounts made from various material.

Over all I would look into setting it up similar to this guy

Timing cover assembled. The water pump has a reusable gasket. So I threw it on ...

Cams... Read this . Pick your cam based on RPM operating range and whether you decide to use a blower.

You have to build the engine with your goal in mind, which means getting the right cam for what you're building. Forget about using shorter con rods. The stock LN3 bottom end, with it's longer ...

As promised new pics

Cylinder view still got some honing to do but I did ridge ream and it's flat just gotta work at getting the little line of carbon out. It is still got a lot of cleaning left to do

Second head together. Yeah I could have ...

I know its an off question but I was thinking that since the rods are shorter and my deck is higher it would lower compression. I was looking to do this because someone told me that lower compression is better if I am thinking of going with a larger cam so the compression kind of evens out nicely ...

I remember seeing someone just cut down their coil springs with and angle grinder. Not the same type car but the idea is the same. He took and inch off and went from there until he got what he wanted. I am not familiar with the SSEi setup but for the most part I would assume it would work the same ...

You can buy a 'fluid transfer pump' from Harbor Freight Tools for around $8.
This pump can also be used to remove tranny fluid w/0 removing the pan.


hmm thanks I'll have to look into that one cause the prestone one I got from walmart sucks. Poor sealing so it don't work right.

Now for a ...

Just went from the first page to the last. I gotta say that is a great looking motor. I especially like the look of the TB with it's new paint job. I hope you are planning a start up video cause I am dying to hear the thing run.

Thanks guys. I think I am going to decide to get a complete block and use the heads from this car with a few odds and ends to get the engine right.

Funny story today I figured I would try to empty the gas tank since I was unsure as to when the car will live. Don't wanna run old gas and all. So I ...

As for more power I would spend my money more on hard mods and then have the PCM tuned later to accommodate those mods after they were made.

But if I was just trying to correct a sloppy engine then yeah its probably worth it. A CAI as long as it is cheap is good. It makes for a better throttle ...

This is my opinion and I know I am new but I figured I would throw my opinion in if you don't mind :P

scrap the northstar I seem to have bad luck with them. I am sure there are the exceptions out there but unless your talking about it being a LC3 Northstar I wouldn't keep it. The early 4.6 were a ...

As promised here are some pics so far.

Nasty head disassembled

Same nasty head reassembled (new valve seals and some porting to match the gaskets lapped and measured valves and springs. Just knocked off some rough casting material. Valve ...

Ok well I took in the crank to the shop today and I have a question for anyone who may know.


So the crank is toast on cylinder 1 so not using that one. So I have a few options open to me and am wondering which path I should take on this project.


First pull the crank from a junk yard and take the ...
