karl just let me know he is picking up the crank tomorrow. there is a small chance he can get it together, but if he runs into a problem, its not gonna happen. either way, we greatly appreciate Karl's dedication to trying to make the deadline, with honestly only having a short period of time to work on it with his very busy schedule on his end. He is a very meticulous builder, leaving nothing to chance, and we have the utmost respect for him. he constantly updates you on your build, and is very honest. hard to find that now adays in people in general. if you want the best, have Ellwein Engines build you a motor.
That is refreshing news with so much dishonestly around... keep us posted.
@popo8 this was a refreshing pic to receive just now http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...6a918754b6.jpg
Hell yeah... keep me postedQuote:

Timing chain was too worn and gears were too worn. For anyone that looks for a spline drive timing set it's a nightmare, and expensive, so you're better off upgrading to the 95-97 opti. Well the cam pin has to be shortened for the early setup, now he couldn't get it out
Can it just be shortened if removal is not an option?
No, the pin needs to be long again for the 96 opti, he already cut it short for the 94Quote:

Thats a good idea. I think his prob is the stuff is away at the builders and the builder went on a trip... so now no ideas can be implemented.Quote:

Yep, that's it. No biggie, it's a little depressing, but we will move forward. Now there's not a rush on the car, and it's gonna be done 100% fine tooth comb, also, engine will be broken in on the dyno, and possibly gonna go with a smaller pulley from blower works right out of the garage lolQuote:

All ready for the engine dyno. Pro mod taking up engine dyno, once it's done karl will bring it over there and get this bad boy making or breaking something. Still waiting on lonnies double pumper setup. Now we wait.
What are you expecting power wise?
Expecting it to not blow up. Lol. Long rod 383 with le2 heads and a blower cam, like 26 hp less than urs maybe?Quote:

Should be pretty close to mine for sure.
You got those big boy heads though, I'm sure it will be more than enough lol.Quote:

Looking good
P600b with the bigger crank pulley, big intercooler, no meth. Hoping for 500 on engine dyno na and 500 whp with boost thru an autoQuote:

If it gets traction, it's a street car. Lowered on koni yellows and strano springs. Has all the suspension/chassis bits though. And a 3.42 10 bolt. Kinda scared to put a sticky tire on it ya knowQuote:

Street cars can't run 10s?
Ain't putting tires like u on there lol. What's the breaking point of a girdled true Trac Moser axle 10 bolt?Quote:

I peg legged one of my 10 bolts, but ran 11s at high 130s on it. :lol:
500hp NA means 1000hp boost capable!
Pat Burton was running 9s on his 10bolt iirc.
Who knows. .. 10 bolts are weird. I know a turbo lt1 out of chitown went 9 . teens at 150 Mph on a bone stock 10 bolt. His username was robsquickz28.
I think you'll be ok but then again I've seen them break at stock power levels so it's purely a gamble.
Is it time to run it yet?Quote:
