Re: Pilot bearing?

Sounds like it could possibly be a locked up pilot bearing. I had one that was intermittently locking up on me that did the same thing, but I was able to force it to release by standing on the brakes.

^Wow, thanks for the link! That is awsome work. As far as the stock size wheels, I'm not sure if the OEM wheels (on the 2wd) were 8" or not, mine came with some nasty aftermarket wheels. Once I nail this down, I'll post up some pics so we have some frame of reference for others.

Selecting the right turbo and cam combination will let you shift your powerband around somewhat. A t-25 or 14b on a 2.3 liter stroker engine would be fun! You would have no top end at all but the little 4g would feel like a v8.
