Sold all of it a couple months ago. Sorry.

Gentleman Rogue

For Sale: the whole exhaust side from my truck. 2g manifold, EvoIII Big 16G, and custom RWD stainless 2.5" downpipe/O2 housing with TiAL V-band wastegate that's recirculated into the downpipe. There are two O2 sensor bungs(wide band and narrow band), and a V band connection for the exhaust as well ...

so i've got all the wiring finished up(pretty sure) and now i'm testing it on the truck. with the key on, i heard the MPI click, and i had ~10v at the coil and bundle of hot wires by the ECU. i turned the key off, and at the coil i 9.8v, and it slowly bled down over 10 min or so to 9.4v. does this ...

i'm running the Jay Racing front exit kit with blockoff plate. their fitting needs to be modified to clear the stock waterpump, and you have to fab your own hold down. i ran a 6an line tapped into the blockoff plate as a relief line with the idea that if the coolant at the back of the head became ...

Gentleman Rogue

just curious if theres any interest on a pair of brake rotors/hubs from my '88 50. i put new rotors on my truck not too long before i parked it, and the rotors look like they have barely started to wear at all. i dont want much for them, it just seems like a waste to scrap them because they've got a ...

Gentleman Rogue

definitely a sleeper project i want to see finished. my parents had a 70 dart w/ manual 4 wheel drum brakes. it was on the road for years and years after they sold it. hope you upgraded the brakes and installed big sway bars so it can handle all that power. my guess is you do a lot of city driving ...

Gentleman Rogue

im trying to finish up the wiring in my 4G63/'88 Ram 50 project; and am curious about the wires running to the starter. for the record, the truck was originally a 2.0/5 speed truck, and has the same KM132 it came with originally installed right now, and i'm utilizing the DSM starter. ok, now for the ...

Gentleman Rogue

a) we absolutely NEED to see pics of this.

b) are you sure you're ready to do without overdrive?

Gentleman Rogue

although it does sound cool, and definatly unique, i dont know how well a 4G63 will work in a 73-74 B body. event with the 4cyl, i bet the car will still be north of 3600lbs- getting kindof heavy for a motor that doesnt make a mountain of torque like a big block would.

just my .02.

Gentleman Rogue

been a while- have some more pics and a bit of progress. here goes.

started tackling the wiring; with the wires all tangled, i decided it'd be best to just lable all the wires, cut them, and start from scratch. i pretty much turned the whole harness into a pile of pigtail connectors:
http ...

Gentleman Rogue

i ended up finding a gutted out Starion in the junkyard- and im happy to say it uses the same style connectors for the wiring. the smart thing to do is cut enough of the bundle of wires going into the box to just splice new wires onto them to instead of trying to take the connectors off of the wires ...

Gentleman Rogue

my 88 ram50(carb'd) started with minimal issues during even the coldest of Iowa winters(sometimes lower than -30 windchills). i think youd be fine to DD it for a while.

Gentleman Rogue

ive actually heard its easier because there are less of the truck's electronics that you have to worry about keeping working.

Gentleman Rogue

I don't know, $10 plus a few bucks for shipping sound fair?

Gentleman Rogue

if you can use a stock DSM resistor, i have a spare laying around i'd be willing to let go.

Gentleman Rogue

i'm kindof spring cleaning my garage all out; have a ton of shit i dont know if anyone would want or what it would be worth if they did. i'm going to list everything i can see, i can get pics of things if needed, but im not gonna post them to start because it'd just be too much work. everything is ...

Gentleman Rogue

i like the idea of adding the fused circuits i need to my stock truck fuse box, but im curious what kind of wire connectors i would need that could press into the terminals on the fusebox and accept the bladed fuses?

whatd you guys use?

Gentleman Rogue

here's a pic step by step i did on putting DSM buckets into my D50. i probably did a little more work than i had to, but i love how the seats sit level and not bolt in pretty much like stock....

Gentleman Rogue

thats what they were saying over on jeremey's site, so yeah- good to have corresponding opinions. thanks!

Gentleman Rogue

so i like the idea of getting power to the DSM harness through the truck's fuse block, but im curious where to get the 12v sources (switched, constant, etc) for those wires? am i stuck just splicing into other wires that are already running into the fuse block? id rather avoid that if possible.

Gentleman Rogue

so the wiring harness for my truck is from a '90 GS, and im going with a '91-94 throttlebody. the problem is the '90 harness has an extra wire going to the TPS. the '91-'94 has three wires, green with white stripe, green with black stripe, and green with red stripe. the '90 has all of those, as well ...

Gentleman Rogue

these show how i had the fitting modified to clear the stock waterpump pulley. originally the pipe comes straight out from the head, and now its cocked up to about 2'o'clock. when i take the timing cover back off, i'll get a better pic of the C-shaped hold down i made. i also put a bead of RTV ...

Gentleman Rogue

it hasnt been 30 degrees here in Iowa for a few months it seems. sucks working in the garage with that, but the kerosene heater helps.

Gentleman Rogue

i have the Jay Racing kit, and ended up having to make a "C" shaped hold down off the bolt hole because the little tab didnt hold it in solidly enough. also, plan on overdriving the waterpump or modifying the fitting to clear the stock water pump pulley as it will not clear.

there are also ...

Gentleman Rogue

youre shooting for 1.3 60's and youre worried about running stock motor mounts?

Gentleman Rogue

i wrote down the part numbers, and cant find them now. if i remember right, its a 28-29" long 6 rib belt(from memory). go to a parts store, ask for the stock belt to see how wide you need. then get one that width, but a few inches longer than stock. no worries.q

Gentleman Rogue

the alt bracket made from the P/S bracket looked like hell- believe me, use the A/C bracket and some angle iron; it tucks the alternator in a lot tighter to the motor....

Gentleman Rogue

personally, id get a Ford 8.8 over the Chevy 8.5. stronger, just as easy to work on, parts are plentiful, and the 5 lug bolt cirlce on the ford is 5x4.5", which will match the front lug pattern on 2G(114.3mm).

just my .02.

Gentleman Rogue

save some money on the alternator relocation and do what i did; use your old A/C mount. heres the thread with pics:

Gentleman Rogue

that's quite an exhaust manifold you've got there- did you make that guy?

Gentleman Rogue

theyre working on both posts for me, can anyone else see them?q

Gentleman Rogue

my reasonin was two-fold, in that besides extending the harness to reach further, and untangling it, since i pretty much sparated every plug into its own pigtail connector, it'll be easy to route each wire/plug to wherever it needs to go, and will easily be able to see how long to make some wires. i ...

Gentleman Rogue

Jeremy from hotrodcoffeeshop suggested cutting wires to untangle the whole harness, which sounds like a winner of an idea. i also just remembered today i have a whole second harness that a friend cobbled badly to work in his truck. i think im going to cannibalize his wiring to extend all of mine and ...

Gentleman Rogue

im in the middle of stripping down and rerouting the wiring harness in my truck, and i have ran into a couple of those big thick brown wires with the white stripe that house a smaller wire(or sometimes two), and have the other wire strands running through it that are grounded on the ends. what is ...

Gentleman Rogue

that one is from a Grand Marquis that i got for around $50, but my friend wants this one, and i think i have a line on a reasonably priced Explorer rear, so as long as the width is good, i'll probably go with an explorer one.

Gentleman Rogue

Thanks Bill- I am hoping to pull the motor and trans back out next summer and install the T56 with your bell housing. I haven't seen it done in a truck yet, so I'll be sure to document it well for everyone.

Gentleman Rogue

few quick updates- got the throttle cable sorted out- cant remember whos truck i saw it on on here, but i decided to flip the TB on its side, partly because the cable routing would be easier, and partly because the FIAV hose ends point down and will ease hose-routing. shortened the cable and housing ...

Gentleman Rogue

that's like saying, "no one will care if you're gay if you can kick their ass in a fight". on the same note, i'd take my truck running 12's over a 9 second honda any day- because other than that little bit of racing, you still have to be seen in that Honda everywhere else...

on the piston/pin issue ...

Gentleman Rogue

one of Bill's 4G63 to Powerglide should work- the PG should have the same bellhousing pattern as the TH350/TH400's...

Gentleman Rogue

i didnt knock it in my post- just said i wasnt a fan. you are right- its your truck, do as you wish.

Gentleman Rogue

i think you'd tear the shit out of the trans/transfer case very quickly, and they arent that easy to come by...

Gentleman Rogue

to be honest, im not a big fan of the airbrushed flames and pirate ship, but other than that, sounds like youve got a pretty decent foundation going. keep us posted.

Gentleman Rogue

the Jay Racing fitting will need to be modified if youre running stock size pullies; coming straight out of the head, it runs into the pulley. just a heads up.

Gentleman Rogue

im interested in the way the throttlebody is mounted and what throttle cable youre using.

Gentleman Rogue

i always forget to update here; few updates:

Bill Hincher on this site has finished the 4G63/T56 bellhousings. the T56's shifter will sit three inches further back than the stock truck 5 speed- im not sure about its dimensions compared the the R154.

The stock exhaust manifold should work, but you have to rotate the turbo 180 degrees, and ...

Gentleman Rogue

also, and i dont know how this would translate to a light, stick shifted truck, but in my '72 Duster, i ran Hoosier DOT QTP's. i didnt think the ET Streets hooked up as well, but the QTP's are like glue!
