I just lengthened the actuator rod so that there was a small amount of preload on the WG. Worked fine when I had a 14b, then a 16g.

I found the best way to improve intake manifold efficency. See pic:

Hopefully the seasoned stock short block will continue to hold fast under the added pressure

I just have the first drawings done and I have made an identical input shaft so I can align the pieces, I ordered some material for the manual jig.

I been filling out a note book on how I want to arrainge the machine steps after the pattern is cast.

Right now I am building most of my R-154 ...

Did'nt get to see the whole thing, but it looked good on the top end. Congrates on the result.

As long as the cooler can have airflow around it or through it, then placement dosent matter.

Ever seen the shifter on a 60's Cobra? Gansta. Actually, since I moved my seat back in the car (I'm 6'3") its kind of a reach to the stock shifter for me anyways, moving it back would actually help me to shift faster.

tumuchNOS

Ha Ha, mine is way uglier.

tumuchNOS

They are not that expensive. I sell them at my yard used for 1400.00. Besides, I likey the fast shifting low miles trans that can hold power vs the clunky 400,000 mile toyota one.

tumuchNOS

Update Bill? This will be the determining factor on if I sell my colt or not.

For all of you that are perhaps wondering what motor the intake came off of before I moved the flange, it was a 93 turbo eclipse. Hope that helps.

I take it your not going to build the colt now.

Ooooh. Well it is what it is

I should of taken a pic inside the plenum, its got stacks Yo.

I know this thread is dead, but I finnally got motivated enough to start the mock up for the new intake. JMF built it off of my measurements, and it fits great. My only real problem is the interference with my clutch cable where it exits the firewall. Hopefully Mr bill will finish his T56 Bell soon ...

OK, here is some photos of the intake. Sorry about the setting, just seemed appropriate :twisted: .

What potential problem areas I (and many others from what I gather) are worried about is hot spots that have inadequate or no water flow.

You are right that the block was designed to run water in the method you are reffering to, but don't forget that the only real diff. between the two blocks is ...

this trans is from a 96 Camaro. The 93 - 97 camaro LT1 T-56

Perfect, you finish it before I sell my junk and I will be happy to dragstrip "test" it :twisted: . I already have the six speed buddy, just whip up that bell.
BTW my sugesstion would be to make it as small as you can as most of us old ...

tumuchNOS

I don't know what potential problem areas you guys are refering to, but a motor is a motor. If coolant can flow around the chamber I doubt it makes enough difference what end of the head it comes out at the sub 600 hp level, and the ECM has never given me any problems other than a high idle when its ...

I have been asked to post my results in using a front water (out the front freeze plug hole). I have had the set up for three years now and have no complaints. I just welded a tube directly to the head (this was before anyone made adapters) and built a block off plate for the back of the head. I ...

tumuchNOS

I am all for it as long as it is for the LT1 based T56 and a narrow block. Will it compatable with the fidanza flywheel?

tumuchNOS

This is a great intake that I have used for three years and I have no complaints. It was professionally welded, blended and surfaced (not a hack job). The flange is for a 1G TB with the vacuum fittings facing up, and the stock flange is blocked off with a plate. The reason I am selling this is that ...

tumuchNOS

Sounds stupid, but if your oil seal tube on that cylinder is leaking alot of oil on top of the plug you will get a higher reading in that hole. When you pull out the plug the oil from the tube will go into the hole and give you a higher reading than you should have. I know cause it does the same on ...

tumuchNOS

I mounted the temp sensors into the block off plate at the back of the head where the orig water outlet/therm housing were. If you use an electric after market guage, the sensor is very small and the only stock sender I used was for the ECM. I also cut the firewall and made an access door for the ...

I can alter how much length you need for intake runner by opening the intake valve a little later, but your duration is going to change valve overlap, so if I can find the right cam with a higher speed ramp and later timing, I can shorten the intake and put a small taper in it to bring up the air ...

tumuchNOS

I know I've seen one somewhere in a magazine. Maybe Sport Compact Car or something. I know there's a general formula for figuring out plenum size and runner length along with runner taper and such. I believe the general rule for plenum size is 1.5x engine displacement. I know runner length plays a ...

I know the SBC motors all have the same pattern. Actually, that's why I asked if it was just by coincidence (poorly phrased, though).

If I could have a T5 (even a T56) versus a Toyota tranny, I would be willing to pay quite a bit more if necessary. It would be more expensive at first to have a T56 ...

No, they are called Nevada Auto Wrecking though.

Well, I tried to blow one of these things up. I made some shake down passes at a recent race and put down a couple of 11.8's with 1.7 and 1.8 60 foots. I then decided that I could leave just a bit harder with more boost and tried a 7000+ launch. Low and behold it spit out the U joint and not the ...

Yeah I called all the junkyards I could find, and nothing.

If some one in the states (or anyehere else for that matter) finds one they want to sell and dont mind shipping it to New Zealand, shoot me a email at

Badass. V8's are the real deal, and I am happy to see an LS project.

If this is a 1G DSM, the speedo is run off of a cable. The no lift to shift and such has more to do with the clutch signal. It's just a little switch that reads if the clutch is engaged or not. Some guys remove this switch on the 2G to keep from pushing the clutch to start causing a dry startup on ...

tumuchNOS

They did that for launch control and no lift to shift functions. DSM link uses the same imputs for both of those functions. I am still trying to figure out what will send a similar pulse width, (Tom at DSMlink sent me the pattern) and matches the D50/mightymax speedo lug, then I can finally leave ...

If you have put an aftermarket clutch in the truck, then you may have an issue with the cable. Most of the cable actuated cars/trucks that I have dealt with have an issue with not having enough adjustment when using an aftermarket clutch. I would keep tightening the cable twards the fire wall untill ...

Me, mr. Lucky has just done some testing on the racecar after last weekends event. Doesnt look good:

Compression (1-4 in psi):

Looks good.

they would get locked in gear, as well as have shredded about every bearing in the tranny case. It constantly sounded like a gearbox w/ straight cut gears.

That noise you hear...not a good sign, it's bad bearings, so selling someone a swap kit w/ a noisy transmission probably is not a good idea ...

tumuchNOS

The only problem I had was input bearings. I'll probably be selling my D50 Transmission with slave cylinder, clutch, flywheel and extended driveshaft in a few weeks.

What happened to the bearings? How much power were you making? Did the trans see high RPM for an extended period of time in a low ...

mike averaged around 5 months on his w/ a stock 4g63 + evo3 16g @ 8psi spiking to 14. No real racing of any kind, and those transmissions were loud and garbage.

Bummer. I guess I have managed to always pick the best of the bunch, four times in a row :wink: . I agree they are noisy after you try ...

tumuchNOS

I really doubt it, those d50 transmissions are junk for any power. I'd like to see one take 400hp for more than 5 minutes.

Considering people now have these bell housing adapters for toyota transmissions, I dont think anyone will be using the d50 boxes unless its a na application.
