I could make it work with 38mm. I plan to turn it down anyway as part of it already has a narrower section at 34mm but it's exactly not where I want it to be narrower, actually the whole female part of the shaft needs to be the thinner diameter. Will heat treating really be necessary? I already had ...

Nah, it's a complete cluster f**k that fork setup due to how far from the engine the trans actually is and the weird double bell housing with a spider cast into the conversion bellhousing that hold a long sliding metal tube that houses the bearing. I re-engineered it, it was off it's face but just t...

Hi all, I am trying to locate a concentric slave with an ID of 40ish or more mm, maybe like 45mm ideally but I have come up empty handed after looking into this a few times over the last year or so. My nephew's 4Runner has been off duty for mostly 3 years now due to crap quality conversion from Mark...

I saw years ago there where like these models that gave BT and other functionality to old classic radios. I am sure there are much more feature packed modules you'd be able to get now days. But you need to know the basics of the radio schematics or be able to figure it out to solder in the in and ou...

Sounds like agony

I suppose all you can do is occupy your mind until you can't.

Thanks for that! Yes, VP has only 3 studs on the tower, but I was looking at the driver side since mine is a 6 and there is no room on the pass side for anything on the tower because of the intake pipe and AC stuff. It will only be for a catch can or two depending on blow by requirements on the engi...

Very awesome build! Been waiting for someone to do a good one at this level for a while, hasn't been many restro-mod builds since covid. Do you have any more pics of the catch can bracket and how it looks installed on the tower? I was thinking along the same path for my VP to run dual catch cans pot...

After looking at them, I want one lol. As good as an ecotec sump conversion to a Buick works, it never sat well with me the way it looks out of place. These baffled ones really do look like a good bit of gear and was always on my mind if that engine build I always wanted to do ever eventuates, the s...

Was interested to see if there are any high capacity v6 sumps anywhere and I found this mob.

Not only do they mod v6 sumps to have scrapers and baffles, more oil etc... In the gallery I found a dry sump for ecotec

Interesting! I vaguely recall LS mentioned to have poor oil return but never took it seriously as it's suppose to be a enthusiast minded platform from the get go, so seem to be like a silly oversight. The Holden v8 is bad with top end return, and I had a look at some heads and I see the issues peopl...
