95riosnake Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Not sure why but every other site will allow me to paste image codes but for some strange reason this site wont. @Psychorugby As I said before Rich, the image coding here is different. You have to change the code before and after your image links because the site software here is different. Anytime I copy image codes from posts I have on other sites I have to edit the coding.The coding here is as follows ^ Replace "image url" with your image link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-Oh Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Ugh, Rich it looks so cozy in there!! I like the notching for the underside of the intake, everything is like a fine handmade pair of oxfords! Which dipstick do you have again? I think you and Dalamar or another OG member had the same one and I kept meaning to order it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95opal Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Thanks You and me both .... Ugggg how many times have I told yopu the big round ones. lol @tony Thanks @Steve-Oh The dipstick is from lockar and the fine pair of oxfords were made in my humble garage lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-Oh Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Thanks @Steve-Oh The dipstick is from lockar and the fine pair of oxfords were made in my humble garage lol Yes that's it! Isn't this the same dipstick @Prokiller lost in the abyss of his pan? You seem to have the ability to do that in your garage, mad skillz for sure! Excited to see which wheels you ended up with.

95riosnake Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Looks like the same dipstick I have, the Lokar locking one where you slide the collar back before you can pull it out right? Pretty nice piece. Forgot to say that it all looks incredible Rich, I also dig the notching of the valve cover. You're making me feel like a huge slacker, I haven't done shit on mine in months.

You're making me feel like a huge slacker, I haven't done shit on mine in months.Yup same as the one I had on my old motor just went with the midnight series instead of the brushed look that i had before.Id like to say thanks but the notching of the cover is just a bandaid for my bad measurements i took lol. Dont worry I will be going into slacker mode in about four weeks when i head to florida for the winter. Life is life the car is a hobby and there is only so much time in a day.

I want to see pics of its of recently mentioned big round things........ :-)This message courtesy of crapatalk!No secrets, simply sent him a pic of the driveshaft i was cleaning up and told him i should havecsent it for him to do.Anyway so you dont feel like im leaving ya out of the loop, this is the custom shaft i had made from PST. Cryo treated yolks, upgraded 1350 solid u-joints, ect ect.Im also tosing the stock pinion flange in favor of a Mosier yolk set up and ditching the crush collor for a solid pinion spacer.Will be putting it all in tomorrow as its the last piece of the drivetrain to install. Once thats in I can start on fabricating the exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabres Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 It's silly how much nicer the Stifflers pieces look than the TeamZ. Looks great! Random question regarding your cowl run fuel lines. Do your fuel lines run all the way through the cowl from the fender or does the main line come into the bay and then into the cowl? Reason I ask is I'd like to hide some wiring from the interior through the cowl and into the passenger fender, but the cowl right by the passenger fender is virtually sealed off and there looks like there is a screen on the top. I'm guessing this is where the HVAC system sources its air. How did you get around this if thats how you ran yours? Obvious answer is to drill some holes but I didn't know if it is actually open at the bottom and I might be able to snake some wires with a coat hanger or something before I go putting more holes in the car.

95opal Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 the feed line comes into the fenders then the cowl threw the firewall to the rails. the return line from the rails threw the firewall into the cowl then exit into the fender well. the screen is for the vent air for the hvac. There are drain holes in each front corner of the cowl that are big enough to snake some wires threw without having to drill any extra holes. Its a little tight in there but I don't see a problem snaking wires threw. The drain holes exit into the fender well not out the bottom. you can remove that screen off the vent and trim it down to get your wire past it if you cant do it with the screen intact. Its only held on with some trim adhesive and is a snap to remove. You will have to get a flashlight and look at the front corners of the cowl to see the existing drain holes once you locate them its a no brainer from there. Now running anything bigger than a few wires will require some modifications and a bit of fabrication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabres Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Awesome. Thanks for the info. That's what I was hoping to hear. I'm only needing to run like 3-4 18-20 gauge wires so I'm guessing it should work out just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95opal Posted February 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 My gripes about the team z brackets were that when installed they were literally hanging on the bottom two bolt holes which didn't make me to comfortable and there was no way to drop them any lower. These brackets are installed about 1/2" lower than were I had the team z brackets and there is still plenty of beef on the bracket to attach to the axle. I will install 2 more bolts per side just for piece of mind. All in all there just beefier with tons more adjustability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
