What should I swap into this

>>16530722
500 caddy

>>16530728
That's a little big.
It's a Toyota so I was thinking 1/2J or a K motor or a VR6 or an LS or maybe even a BP

>>16530763
Vr6 a shit. Also 500 caddy isn't that big externally

Swap in a 460 with a tunnel ram.

>>16530766
I don't want shitty old American motors, they are fucking trash

>>16530780
Say that to a 7.6l v8 that revs past 7 grand and makes more power than Cuba

>>16530524
Volvo classic masterrace. Fuck all those amerifag brands

>>16530797
That's fine, all makes and models are welcome here, as long as they pass the definition of a Classic Vehicle

>>16530706
Well its only 3 differnt tires, back two are the same. The agressive looking tire on the left i have a full set but had to put one on to get it on the trailer when i bought it last week. Runs and drives though.

It's possible, but I don't see the point. Would make a cool sleeper though

>>16534236
No clue, I grabbed it off google

62 scout 80 for 2k in rough shape but runs great but pops outta 3rd gear yes or no?

>>16535504
Cool truck but that's going to need a lot of work. I'd keep looking.

>>16535504
Pics?

The third gear thing is a known issue with the T98, caused by worn teeth on the dog clutch. Fortunately, they're common as fuck and any 4-wheel drive parts house should have rebuild kits. Not a deal-breaker.

The 4-152 engine has a weak lower end so be careful if it has one.

>>16535208
What's the point of anything?

>>16535546
If it's a 4wd crawler then having a pesky turbo isn't that good, maybe works for a mud truck, but the only application for a gn powered CJ would be sleeper in my eyes

>>16535576
And that's fine. We're /ccg/, not /org/.

How do I stop an intake manifold gasket leak when I just put a new one in?

Retorque the bolts?

>>16535806
take the intake manifold off again and properly seal it again

>>16535839
I did properly seal it. At least I thought I did. It wasn't leaking when I first put it on

>>16535847
It's not properly sealed then.

>>16535847
Did you just remove the manifold not too long ago or has it been a while?
Try torquing the bolts down again, but if that doesn't work then you still have to take the manifold off again

Yeah, I replaced the lifters on Friday

Oldsmobile 307 btw, I posted about it in the landbarge thres

>>16535873
So it doesn't take too long to do it at least.
I did the same thing when I got an edelbrock aluminum intake for my Tbird. Drove it around for a day then the next day I had oil spewing out the back cause I didn't use enough RTV on one spot. Only took me an hour and a half or two hours to re-seal it again

>>16535917
Too bad mine has a one time use valley pan. You have to replace it EVERY TIME the intake comes off

This is one of my favorite parts about the LS desu, take the intake off and the engine is still sealed, also no water runs a through the intake which means no water leaks from the gasket either.

I tore the motor down because I saw a really fuckered spark plug pic related and I wanted to gap the rings for turbo

Right now I'm torn between stock cam or throwing in a cam while the motor is apart and its my budget holding me back. Also not sure if I want to go with a ebay special GT45 or an on3 78/75. Stock cam and GT45 and I could buy everything in one go and have money for the tune

The goal is anything over 500 so I can rekt Mustangs on the street

Pro tip for you right here, google yamabond, Hondabond, permatex motoseal, all of those are basically the same thing, gas resistant sealants, they will seal fucking anything.

>>16537433

Out of all those options you're bound to find one locally

>mfw I saw a stanced mk4 Jetta on the side of the road with his stanced friends because he blew a stretched tire
I felt bad, but what did you think would happen?

Was driving through NYC yesterday out to Long Island with my sister to pick up her new puppy. On the way back on the LIE I passed a nicely restored blue 1969 Dodge Charger that had regular plates on it. I give the guy credit for using it as a car. Unfortunately no pics.

>>16538278
Using classic cars as actual cars and not toys is really fun

>>16538275
Good, fuck that dildo. Stance fags are pure cancer

>>16538302
Kek. I always wondered if that is what happens, because I assumed that's what happened, then it did.

>>16538302
There's nothing wrong with stance, not to mention the definition of stance is not set in stone and varies depending on who you ask.

>>16534463
Ive seen it done on a YJ (mid 90s wrangler) Novak makes a adaptor plate so you can use the stock transmission. Ive heard freinds with the cj say they wanted to do it because its an easy swap.

>>16538395
There is something wrong with stretching your tires to the point that they blow up while operating the vehicle in a normal manner.

I like a lowered vehicle though.

This is like when people say faggot means bundle of sticks. Stance has been redefined to mean mexicants and pinoys swagging out their shitty boring rental cars for "da gram".

>>16538429
Stretched tires are fine, I push my car to traction limits every day with 175s on 8 inch wide wheels, few days ago I didn't even know but I had 8 psi on my rear right tire and I had been driving around like a maniac for a week, nothing ever happened, it's raining right now and it grips fine.
Stretch isn't as bad as you think, I live with it every day for over a year, no issues at all.

In Mrcummy's defense, I have done Oil changes on 90s Honda civics that had literally no oil come out of the pan when you pull the plug and they ran smooth on the way in. Never see that much with American vehicles

>>16538640
Is it a Cast iron intake manifold or aluminum?
Cast Iron rarely needs a re-torque, but aluminum always does

But engines all share the same basic design, I don't get where you're going with this. If you starve a japanese engine of oil it'll last just as long as a comparable american engine, or german engine, or british engine, or any other god damn engine. Bearings like oil. The japanese aren't using magical blessed bearings or some shit.

There were poor designs from every company, And I think everyone needs to stop idolizing certain cars or brands overall and just fucking enjoy driving / working on them / whatever floats your boat.

Couldn't give you the specifics as it isn't my engine, but I'm pretty sure it was pulled from a '94 Mustang. He's basically swapping out the stock EFI for a performance carb, replacing a few seals, replacing most of the bolt-ons with aftermarket improvements, and pairing it with a T5 trans.

>>16542549

any tips for buying first junk engine to rebuild?

I don't know jack shit, basically just going to pick up the block, and then figure out what I want to do from there.

Do I just drop it off at the engine shop and tell them what I want out of it, and they give me a quote, or is there more to it than that?

>>16548728
That depends. Are you just trying to find a nice engine and refurbish it, or are you building it for power?

>>16548998
I'm wanting basically stock, but with a bit of umph to it. Mild cam, non-stock heads, bored carb, and maybe headers. Nothing over the top, but I do want more out of it than your standard rebuild I guess.

>>16549034
You should be able to do all that on your own pretty easily. You could take it to a machine shop for any kind of work you actually need done on the block/heads, but everything you're talking about is basically bolt-on.

>>16549079
I'm not at all mechanically inclined, and would rather not fuck up what would be a $2500~ engine.

Not to mention my only tools are your basic socket set and misc. assorted wrenches/generic shit

>>16549096
Get yourself a 160 piece mechanics toolset from Sears, and a good torque wrench. You'll be fine, they're just big, heavy Legos

>>16549079
>>16549034
If you're changing heads definitely take them to a machine shop and have the decks resurfaced, maybe a valve job. Not all the aftermarket is the same but I've seen some really leaky valves out of the box on pricey heads, iron and aluminum alike.

>>16548525
I don't pretend to be tolerant, whitey. I despise you and you have no place in my party. Go jerk off drumpf with the other truck driving planet ruining cis white males

>>16549108
>>16549110

Tools and my own dirty work aside, would the engine shop be able to fully assemble the engine to be drop in ready?

I'm literally not confident in my own work to do this job, and would much prefer a shop to do it for me.

After reading this board a bit I've come to the conclusion that I need to educate most people on some basic grammar and trademark principles.
Please do stop using "LEGO" as the plural form for LEGO pieces. Instead of saying "I need a tub to sort all of my LEGO", instead use proper grammar and say "I need a tub to sort all of my LEGO pieces" (or bricks, toys, components, etc.) You are destroying the LEGO trademark by referring to the pieces themselves as "LEGO". If everyone does this, the term "LEGO" will become generic, and other inferior companies will legally be able to produce and sell "LEGO".
LEGO themselves have made this point numerous times. I tracked down a bit of text off of a LEGO box from 1980:
"Dear Parents and Children The word LEGO® is a brand name and is very special to all of us in the LEGO Group Companies. We would sincerely like your help in keeping it special. Please always refer to our bricks as 'LEGO Bricks or Toys' and not 'LEGOS.' By doing so, you will be helping to protect and preserve a brand of which we are very proud and that stands for quality the world over. Thank you!"
As a personal note, I think it would also be appropriate to call them "LEGO pieces", or "LEGO components", in addition to "LEGO Bricks or Toys".
Thank you for respecting LEGO as a company and abiding by their wishes. Please stop using LEGO (and of course, LEGOS) as the plural form for LEGO pieces. Thank you!

>>16549118
If I were you, I'd start learning a bit before taking it on. If you just pay a shop to do everything for you, you'll never learn anything. Plus they'll fuck you in the ass. Are you really prepared for that?

I can do the basic shit. I have a good understanding of the concepts. You want me to change the starter, or do a tune up, I gotchya. But, the internals I don't know shit about. I'd much rather have the warranty and quality of work from professionals that know what to look for, and how to do it.

And I suck really bad with gaskets and I'd much rather kill myself than have to deal with lining up another pan gasket.

Here's a classic.

Rear main seal on my Bronco is leaking like a whore's cunt. While I'm taking apart half my drivetrain I figured I'd slap some new U Joints in the driveshaft, clean it up, put in a new transmission fluid filter, new oil pan gasket, and oil pump. How much time should I set aside for this? I'll have a competent person working with me to do this.

I can't wait for winter to be over so I can finish the bodywork on this beast. The hottest my garage can get up to in the winter is about 45 so it's too cold for the bondo.

My car is not really a classic but I figured you guys might know. I looked underneath the plastic cowl by the windshield wipers of my car, and the rust is pretty bad. I found a penny sized rust hole on the firewall. Is that area an important structural part of the frame? I really don't want to deal with this right now.

>>16556298
I figured it was bearings being worn, but I figured I'd replace the cheaper and easier part first. Worst case scenario, I've got a known good oil pump and I can guarantee it's bearings. Which I do not fucking want to do. Just eliminating a possible cause, really. At least I have all the parts already.

>>16556309
Just use a space heater pointed at the place you want to use it.

>>16556314
Year/make/model. Pictures would also be helpful.

>>16556315
you can do a quick visual inspection of the oil pump, but if you're getting abnormally low oil pressure then your bearings are on the way out anyway(be from the slop in them or the oil pump itself).

you might be able to extend the service life of the motor by running a thicker oil, but it's only a short matter of time before those bearings go.

>>16556326
I could do that, but I got a suburban in the garage next to the truck and it needs a fuel pump. It's been crazy all winter with family cars breaking down. Once they know you got a garage that can get at least some heat there go your weekends.

>>16556331
Unfortunately, my oil pressure gauge is unlabeled with actual pressure. Just "NORMAL" with a high and low marker. Once warmed up, it drops all at once to the "YOU JUST LOST ALL OIL PRESSURE. PANIC." side when idling. Although that's just how it behaves when oil pressure drops below like 7psi or something. It's "NORMAL" elsewise. I'm just hoping against hope that I don't have to replace the bearings on this truck. It's my DD, so putting it up for any amount of time isn't the easiest thing to do.

>>16556330
I'll get pics later, but it's a '91 240sx. My plan was to just chemically and mechanically remove as much rust as possible and use a zinc based primer to atleast hold it over until i can fix it proper. I'm really afraid of fully removing the cowl and finding something I don't want to see.

You could buy a cheap aftermarket oil pressure gauge, they're pretty easy to set up.

>>16556406
I had honestly considered doing that but ultimately decided not to in part because I'm trying to keep the truck as close to stock as possible. I had considered jury rigging something so I could have the normal oil pressure gauge in the cluster and the numerical gauge hidden somewhere else. Or only hook it up to see how the original gauge operates. Just to get a grasp of how much movement on the original gauge represents a 10psi increase or whatever.

That's what every /general/ is basically. Go back to you lame ass /Honda General/

>>16556816
Sorry bud but this general is easily more lame than Honda general. People there actually own Hondas. People here don't own any classics

Most people here are the same 10 or so people that circle jerk each other over each other's classics, Including me.

So I got nothing done in the last few days on my 5.3... BUT
>ordered springs, fuel pump, and 3 bar MAP sensor
>MAP sensor came in a box
>fuel pump came in a FUCKING ENVELOPE
it was bubblewrapped but still what the fuck I would've expected the MAP to be in an envelope instead of a fucking fuel pump KEK

What are you going to use for an ECU?

>>16555691
Well, if you count 3 people as 'a bunch', then yes

>>16557501
If it's carb'd, RWD, and a V8 it belongs here.

>>16559519
so kitkat get out

>>16559519
Okay so a DS doesn't belong here okay.

>>16559562
Yeah but there are people in this thread who would unironically think an 85 Continental 4dr is a classic but a 64 Hillman Minx isn't

>>16559618
Hahahahahahahaha

get that hunk of shit into the BMW thread or something what the fuck is that thing?

If I plan on taking my boyfriend out for tea, I'll see about driving one of those.

HMM I WONDER WHICH ONE I WANT

>>16559635
Glad to hear you have such a loving relationship with your boyfriend.

>>16559635
Small shitbikes are fun m8

>>16559628
Everyone has taste. It's just different kinds. I for one like American stuff, but I'd kill for some small euro sporty shitboxes to hit the mountain roads on.

>>16559653
0-top speed takes 25 seconds

I'd say 0-60, but apparently it'd need to be downhill on ice and over the rev limiter to get there.

Sure sounds fun to me.

No, you'd have two really fun dirt bikes. Coincidentally these also come from East Germany, run on two strokes as well and have half the cylinders and roughly half the displacement of a Trabant.

Hey guise
Can I post my currently ugly 92 dodge here?

>>16559919
looks good from here

is that like a super extended long bed frame or something? looks way longer than normal

>>16559924
It's long.
12 feet between the cab and the bumper. I'm throwing a tiny house on it to travel the country.

>>16559941
This is the box behind my smaller 1 ton that I work out of.

>>16559941
...Oh.

>>16559954
Bahahaha


I think it's the same length as a long bed extended cab, but they put a short cab and a box on it.

>>16559967
Pretty sure the ext cab long bed rear axle would be further back. That one looks more like it had a flatbed or stakebed or some other utility installation on it.

>>16559919
Was this the dodge with the 440 and that hideous camper extension thing?

>>16559941
Looks like a ~140" wheelbase, but the frame behind the axle... yow.

>>16560062
Got a turbo 12v cummins with a 5 spd.
It was some sort of box/moving truck for a long time, although I don't know if that is how it came.

The computer is in the floorboard of my other truck right now... all it does is regulate voltage, and it hasn't been doing that recently, which is all that is obviously wrong with it right now.

>>16560048
That makes sense.

It is definitely a long bitch.
