64bit_Tuning Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Yep, Ed will get you set right. Make sure you mention the problem you have/had and he'll get you the correct distributor gear.One of these days I'm gonna go over his house and see if I can't motivate him to finally finish his car. I'd love to have a shot of our two cars together... Like, at the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-Oh Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Been in the garage the past few days tearing into it. Got pretty much everything taken out underneath and the fluids drained so once I build the winch mount for the garage floor I should be able to transfer it to the other side to pull it. Just looking at it makes me want to punch a small child, so depressing. Good news is, while this totally sucks monkey balls, I found a few mistakes I made that I would of otherwise gone un-noticed for a while. For starters my shifter was never fully tightened down nor was it sealed so the bolts were just loosely holding it on, wonderful. And my steering shaft is way too close to my headers and it seized up. I need to borrow an engine hoist again from someone then build a crate to ship this damn thing in. Progress. :nerd: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-Oh Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Getting ready to move it over to the other side of the garage this week so I can get the motor out. As some of you may of saw in my "how-to" thread a while back that my driveway is very much inclined and an absolute bitch to try pushing this monstrosity into the garage. Since I was in a bind I used the quad's winch to yank it in last time. Although this is a great pinch method it has it's drawbacks, IE the car weighs about 5x's the quad, the other side of the garage is not as deep and has no rear exit to run the winch line. This then gave me to idea to use the trailer winch and apply it somehow to a stand that I can bolt to the floor. It's funny [MENTION=7]OnyxCobra[/MENTION] that you had mentioned this very idea in that thread and just saw it after I built it. Anyways here's how I did the mount. I used 2x2x3/16 steel angle I had sitting around, 1/2" drop-in anchors and 1/2x1-1/2 hardware, should be plenty sturdy enough.Test fitAfter I welded the legs onDrilled 5/8" holes in the slab for the 1/2" anchors.These are the 1/2" anchors. These thing are gold and real easy to use. This allows me to remove the bracket/hardware and plug the hole up so it's like it was never there! Their shear strength is 4500lbs each, plenty good enough.Boom, all done! The fairlead for the winch mounts on the face of the winch body which are plugged up with plastic bolts right now, need to get hardware for that tomorrow. I think the next upgrade for this winch is going to be synthetic rope, which is what I have on the quad winch. The steel cable just makes me super nervous.

OnyxCobra Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 haha. dude I was going to say you didn't have the 94/95 wheels. Oh well, I finally let mine go. Was never going to use them cause 8" wide and didn't need them sitting around any longer, plus they weren't in as good of shape as I would have liked. If they were mint maybe i would have kept them but ended up getting $274 for them which i feel was pretty good considering nobody wants those wheels.

Steve-Oh Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Finally got hold of an engine hoist! What a nightmare. Made the worlds most expensive shipping box and shoved it in there the other day. Once I dropped it off at the freight place they put it right on a truck and sent it out immediately which I thought was pretty efficient. Now what do I do?! Sit and wait.... Might as well do a wire tuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
