Re: Gracie II the D21

Thanks tater! I'm going to yank the head on Wynona today and then try and get the weld table assembled. If I get those done, might try and do the wheel bearings on the car trailer, but that might be pushing it.

Re: Gracie II the D21

So the crank is probably garbage on the donor KA. Posted a video on instagram/facebook. Looks like water was sitting in #1 rod journal. It's pitted something terrible. Might come out with .020" undercut, but I'm not optimistic. Debating using the Z24 possibly again. Need to tear it down and see how ...

Re: Wynona the wagon's resurrection!

That's a whole lot of reading! ;) That's why I got the water to air intercooler setup. It should be good for 350 horsepower I believe. It'll have much less heat soak issues than the itty bitty side mount I currently have. And yes I should have a lot less plumbing restrictions with that setup.

Re: Wynona the wagon's resurrection!

Lol, but then I might do more than I should! I left it for yesterday and figured I'll pick it up after work or this weekend. Also need to caulk the box van cab. May just do that tonight. The sealant needs to cure for seven days.

Re: Betty White, the now not so neglected race car

You are quite welcome sir! Eventually I'll get the new system wired in and we'll tune it on Chris' dyno. I don't know if there's a ton more power to be made, but I'll be happy if it's reliable enough to start racing. Still need to get a shifter tunnel boot on it though, that heat comes right up the ...

I'll take a picture of my ugly mug for you when I check it out. ;) I'm actually quite excited even though it's not mine.

Re: Betty White, the now not so neglected race car

Alright, attempting to get going here. Going to take the race car up to work for some more tuning and the passenger seat install. Might get an oil change and the new tires on too. We shall see.

Sweet, talked to an adjuster today, got approval for the extra work needed on the truck. Mainly rear frame rail straightening and a replacement trailer hitch!

Re: Gracie II the D21

Normally I'm very low presence, but I decided to see if I can make some money with this new fangled stuff. If not, oh well, I'm doing it anyway. :) The good thing is I have it post on instagram and at the same time post on fb. I have less followers on ig, but less bs too. And of course for all of th...

Re: Gracie II the D21

Got my block on the waiting list to drop off for boring. Joe and I are going to make a torque plate for the ka. I'm having Gibson Performance do the bottom end work. Quite literally it's 2 months just to drop off because he's that busy. Just as well, I'll have time to make the torque plate. Cylinder...

Re: Gracie II the D21

Oh snap! I was searching on ebay and found a 1 mm over (.040") piston set from NPR (Nippon) for 100 bucks shipped, booyah! I'll bet someone has been waiting to get rid of that set since most rebuilds don't go that far out.

Re: Gracie II the D21

Well shit balls. So I was checking around the garage to see if I had any piston sets squirreled away. I do have a set of KA24DE pistons in a .020" over (.50mm), but the block I tore down has already been rebuilt once. It has .020" over pistons already in it. Considering it needs boring, that means e...

Re: Gracie II the D21

This is the insurance company, not private party. I just sent them more pictures and a letter as a supplement inspection will have to wait until September being body shops are backed the heck up. I suggested they take a look at my pictures again and listed out what they're missing. We'll see if they...

Re: Gracie II the D21

Yeah, for the annoyance I couldn't be happier. Thrust angle is -.07, well within tolerance. X measured the frame, it's all good minus the rear bit. I'm going to get an estimate at a body shop tomorrow since the insurance estimate said oh yeah, just a rear bumper and repaint, front bumper has pre-exi...
