Blower is not going on yet like I thought, but he does have it and it is sitting in my garage :D Its getting dyno-tuned through Marillo Motorsports (sp?) once we put it back together, then retuned after he finds the right bracket for the blower.Quote:

sorry to hear that, how bad are the scratches?
Correction, blower IS going on now. :D The bracket is on the way, then we need to plumb up the intake/discharge tubes, get the startup chip installed, get headers painted and installed, and several other odds and ends. The trucks going to scream.Quote:

Nice, under warranty still? At 110k I am guessing no?
no warranty. It made it to Big Bend and back but will be going to teh dealer in the morning.:rolleyes: Camped out for a few nights in the middle of no where. Its amazing how people live out there. Saw lots of BP, one in a sweet lifted Powerstroke. Got a ticket on 10 for 92 after passing a black smoke puffing stacked Dodge and giving him the eye.:D Damint!
Here is a pic of the Lightning blower. We need to bolt up the headers, fab up the intake and fill up the fluids.
Bp?
Bald *****?

The Lightning put 350 to the wheels and something over 400 on the torque. That was with only 3lb of boost. The goal is 8lbs, but they found out it needs a bigger fuel pump. After we get a bigger in-tank pump in it, it will get retuned.
I finally pulled everything apart this afternoon. The cylinder walls have scratches, but nothing you can feel with a finger. It looks like if you took some steel wool and roughed up everything. There is also light rust from being open without spark plugs for 3 months. Other than that, nothing blatant stood out. I need to borrow a hoist to get the motor out so I can pull the pan to see what lies inside. Brandon? Do you still have one?
hmm, interesting, at least you know the heads are good
Clarke owns one at Dexter, you'll have to see if he will let you borrow it.Quote:

Pull Bronco motor maybe Sunday, maybe next Sunday.
We just unloaded the Lightning and got it in the driveway. He thinks the leak is coming from the intake gaskets that we reused. He ordered some new ones and that would be great if that fixed the problem. It still has two small oil leaks from both heads near the back somewhere.
Once these issues are fixed, the next step will be more fuel, 8lbs, and a retune.
I might come get it Sunday. Motor has to come out with trans AND somehow make it over the new bumper/stinger. Will be interesting.Quote:

Cut the stinger off and weld it back on later
why does the trans even need to come out?
I wasn't thinking when I typed that I. I guess I was thinking that since the motor is locked, I wouldn't be able to turn the crank to get the TC off. I will just have to slide it forward, then up.
have you tried a big breaker bar or dropping the pan to see what is the matter? may be easier in the long run
Have to pull the motor to pull the pan. I tried a breaker bar with Ed onthe other end, wasn't budging.
good luck, let me know if you need my hoist

:gigem:....
did you give up on it?
If I was giving up on the Bronco, I would have done it a loooooooong time ago.
Does a 93 ZJ have CV joints in teh D30? I have not worked on little axles before, but assumed it was a traditional style inner/outer with u joint.
depends on what t-case I think
yes if it is full time 4wd
Cylinder #4 connecting rod bent....
Yup...that would do it.:(
just hammer it out :flipoff2:
how bad is the block?
