I might take you up on that. You still in the same house you were a few years ago or have you moved?

I have too many engines and not enough stands and I need to quickly figure out a way to free up my hoist. I don't have time to order more stands/dollys, so I need to figure out something temporary until then. The engine is an old SBC block with heads and tin. I'm wondering if it's possible to...

Thanks all.

I realize this information is all over the net, but most of what I've found has been related to 2wd cars. I want to know how much torque and HP a TH700R4 can handle in a crawler. My motor produces around 325HP and 420Torque. I have a 1992 TH700R4. I'm running 35-inch tires (may opt for...

Thanks everybody. Finally -- a part I don't need to upgrade.

I'm in the market for a new starter for the 383/TH700R4 that's going into my YJ and I was originally going to just buy a reman cheapie, but I was wondering if I could spend just a little more and get something that would be better for a crawler. I see lots of options in the Summit, Jegs, and...

yeah will do. Now I just need to find some 454 injectors...

$$$$$$$ Well, I'll probably regret it in the morning, but I just ordered this one: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=MLL%2DBP38302CT&autoview=sku (opted for the 315hp instead of the 280hp unit) RockAuto doesn't take American Express, so I had Summit match the price. Too...

OK, he said they had Marshall engines that were blueprinted, but not the brand "Blueprint Engines". Are they the same thing? It looks like it. EDIT: they are the same. Thanks for looking into that -- it probably will save me a hundred or two if I decide to go that route. Blueprint...

Just called them and they don't sell BluePrint brand engines. Are you sure it wa Rockauto who had the good pricing on them? thanks

Yeah, I like Vortec EFI performance, but I wanted to keep it simple with TBI. Plus I already have the donor stuff. However, I'm not completely against considering bailing on my donor investment. Maybe I should bail on my donor and look for a Vortec donor... Originally I was fine with just...

good info. I've considered the Blueprint engine offerings, but they are a bit pricey. Nice thing about those engines is that it's all set up, tested, dynoed, and a custom chip is included. I just think they could shave $500 of their prices easily to make it more reasonable. I don't...

Emissions are a consideration -- the Jeep will need to be registered so that I can drive it to the trails on public roads. I"m wondering if there's anything on these Vortec long blocks that would prevent me from mounting the TBI's emissions components or maybe some of the other items like the...

bump

this is good information. Thanks -- I appreciate it. I'm probably looking at installing performance heads and it sounds like the rings are probably in good shape, so I have a good small block to work with and that was my biggest concern.

I have an upright air compressor with a regulator set at 100PSI. AFAIK it's good and consistent, but all I can base that on is the fact that it always seems to provide good air pressure for my air tools and always seems to take about the same amount of time to re-compress the tank, so I think...

yeah, I sanded off the surface and can see it very clearly -- I definitely have the code right. thanks for checking that, though.

I rotated the crank by hand, loosened the rocker arms, and tapped the valves with a mallet to help seat the valves.

I've looked at several web pages that appear to have complete/comprehensive listings for engine codes, but I can not find the suffix that is stamped on my engine. The code is: V0515UXS I can't find UXS anywhere. I did find XS which was a 1969 350, but if that's the suffix, then I can't...

I have this SBC 350 that I was told has somewhere around 100K miles on it. I bought a leakdown tester and did my first leakdown test. I had to do it cold because the wiring harness and accessories are removed. I followed instructions carefully, but was surprised by the results and think I...
