Love it man!! I just sold also a mint '86 Ram50 sport with 51K on it to a kid who doesn't/didn't know much of working on cars. (think he got frustrated and sold it :(

And another buddy of mine has a '89 Shelby Dakota, 5.2, 5spd, 2wd but it's RED..
I can't stand red.. He only wants 1200 for it but ...

77amc

Don't know if you got it made yet but..

What you could do (what I'm thinking of doing for my boat 'project')

Set you're oil pan on it's attaching face down on a flat surface and measure the highest level of any depression where a gasket will be. (About .5-1" above if you can)

Like stack some wood ...

77amc

..? Whatcha GOT?

Sorry, don't get on here much.
Does it run?

77amc

Kane, You think this can be cut and rewelded for a top mount?

Got more crazy projects going on..

Finally getting around to swapping this quest auto trans into my son's 86 ram50 to get an overdrive, and want to flush it out 'completely' including the torque converter.

So, I'm looking for a crankshaft flange from a bad 2.6 crank that bolts to the flexplate/flywheel so i can weld a bolt/nut to it ...

77amc

How many gallon is the tank?
Where are you located?

77amc

just missed the same truck on C/L and son is sad..

If any of you have a max or even Raider in Fiji blue and near Memphis let me know.

Errol

77amc

Thanks again for your help.

Close..

Just like it states. I put a Rochester 2-barrel on my '86 truck and used a quest
intake. Runs pretty well, gets about the same mpg as my Weber, better acceleration.

Well, the quest intake doesn't have enough room for the trucks f/p and had to make a
plug/plate that isn't working that well and ...

77amc

COOOL man.. Keep us posted on your build.

I went with a different 'route' on my 1-ton max. It's a '95 magnum 5.2/NV3500 and 'yota' hubs and rear axle (3.73) with the quest rims. I need to use it for a heavy load pulling mini-truck for my business

Keep me in mind when you do your intake. Are you ...

77amc

KEEP GOING!!

UPDATES?

77amc

Coool thread! ANy updates?
I lost a wagon same color a while back.. Never answered notes left, and abandoned the car/house. BOTH disappeared and never did see the car in any local yard.

Where are you located?

In this low mileage 86 ram50 that I have is the baby 904 trans that just isn't getting the mpg that I'm looking for. (like 14!!)
SO, I have a couple options.
1, 87 ram50 auto 4spd
2, 88 quest auto but the linkage is on the other side, and NO TV cable.. (but what looks like a after-market converter ...

77amc

You DO realize that from now on there's NO WAY that you can retire..

Great work Bill.

Speedway motors out in Ca has several 'street rod' booster kits in a number of diameters.
I think they had a dual diaphram 7" And with 1 1/8" bore'd master cyl they sell, That's a LOT of fluid pushing.!

With your experience with Hondas, I thought you would've made a Acura 3.5 adapter to RWD gm trans by now.. (just a thought/hint. They rotate clock wise right?)

Didn't mean to jack the thread.

E

77amc

That's OK Bill, I'm heading out to a yard shortly and maybe I can remember my measuring tape this time.
Any 6g72's years better than others?
That would be kinda cool to have 3 weber 32/36's like the Poncho Tri-powers

E

77amc

Bill, fantastic work.. Is the C-4 the only trans housing that you're making for this?

As in the second pic in your thread, What is the rough dimensions of the engine complete from manifold to manifold, and front of pulleys to rear?
Is that hole above the bell housing the water outlet of the engine ...

77amc

PICS please

E

77amc

where did you find that front motor plate for the 4g's

E

77amc

Picked up a really clean 86 d50 that's an auto (2.6) and wondering if it's the baby 904 or quest auto?
And if it IS an auto worth rebuilding, are there any higher stall converters for them?

Thanks E

77amc

SO, did you get and install them yet????

Findings?

77amc

The Hornet is still 'simmerin' in the shop. I've got some projects that need to get put together and sold before I start back on it.

For the BMW, I'd like to get it running (pretty much stock) and enjoy it during the nicer weather. And by that time I should be finished building the 2.4 turbo motor ...

77amc

SO.. 2.4 truck blocks or fwd car blocks? Interesting..

E

77amc

JOSH, pm me on total for the turbo please..

Thanks E

77amc

EXCELLENT Jeff!
Wow, that looks super clean!

Kinda looks like it was made for that car.
There has been one sitting up the street from me at a truck stop. Must be a employee. (It's red though

)

How's the drive ability of it so far?

E

77amc

Just out of curiosity..

What happens? I mean, when I worked late shift at the airport I would be getting kicked off repeatedly, like every 10 mins.

After I retired, I haven't had a problem since.

E

77amc

You still here Matt?

I was supposed to get a '99 328i cabrio friday, got home a tiny bit late and called to give directions to my place, and I get... "..He closed early, and won't be back til Monday.." :x

Anywho, It's got a bad motor but it's an AUTO.. Beggars can't be choosers I guess.
I've been ...

You're gonna need a bigger shop before long Bill..

Does this give a broaching motion?

What part of Chicago? South East side?

Errol

77amc

Looks Great! I wish I was that far along with my Hornet..

It doesn't look like you made that much suspension travel for hittin bumps.?

Errol

77amc

where did you get that intake flange?

E

77amc

can't sleep bump..

E

77amc

Cool Jeff. Thats' what I was thinkin of when I was stripping that 90 talon..
E

77amc

Looks promising! And that's gonna be a handfull once that turbo kicks in!

Since its' soo light, I think that the tires will break loose before things start breaking mechanically.. Especially with 14" tires.
I'd make sure you upgrade the U-joints and get a good synthetic gear lube.

Is the 'yota a ...

77amc

FANTASTIC MAN!!

It's getting warm down here and I'm chompin at the bit to get my Hornet going like yours..
Got some other stuff to finish first but MAN, your build gives me all sorts of plans.

There's a guy down here that basically lives in the middle of a Dogde/Chrysler junkyard that has all ...

77amc

OMG. Maybe I won't be looking for a Holeset..

I'd probably have to put more air in that front r-tire

I can't wait til you give a vid of it (to us first!)

E

77amc

Mr. Bill is working on that bell-housing and should be done with it shortly.

Check out his threads..

E

77amc

OOHhh! What kind of CRX??
I'll trade ya a black 90 crx hf roller for the whole kit..? (Which "kit" did you get from Mr. Bill?)

You need parts for the rex?

Montero's are in the same Haynes Manual as the Mighty Max. They have the Same ratios.

Thats' why I mentioned the Yota.. Wider range of offerings, but i don't remember seeing anything numerically lower than 3.07.

And from what I've read in the past few years, is that 3.54 is the lowest for the ...

77amc

Are you actually shippin to Spain??

Just had to ask

e

77amc

Mike, I know this might be WAY out there but, I've got a toy rear in my 88 max and it's a 3.07..? (this thing can just barely get out of i'ts own way with a 2.6. So, going to a Buick V6/200r4)
I was given another 3rd member from a friend that turns out to be a 3.78.
In looking at this one compared ...

77amc

Mostly Heavier duty diesel pickup trucks/panel vans, BUT I got this one from a mid 70's 3/4ton GM pu truck.

They make rebuild kits for them also, Just haven't gotten to that point yet..
I'm getting to that point that I HATE working with cold hands and tools.

NOW, the vehicle NEEDS to have power ...

77amc

DANG! You're just flying along..

Mine is now getting crap piled on/ in it for warmer days..

E

77amc

The miata was in a bad front end accident and couldn't tell where it attached to the head, just that it was broken off.
And since people are just welding pipes in there anyway..
