there is a texas property code somewhere that says what they can do. I'm sure they can fine and possibly tow it at my expense.

how do you know if the letter is even from the HOA? Maybe some jackass is just writing the letter... should the letters havbe come from a lawyers office? Should have at least come from someone on the board or the president....I would call the president up and ask WTF? can't hurt since you're mving it anyway...and you can tell them that too while you're on the phone so to let them know they didn't win..you just quit.
Borracho went to his temporary resting place this morning. The storage place is right across the street.
It was supposed to be $25/month, but i talked aggie football with the guy and he gave me "a deal" for $15/month. If i'd know it was that cheap i'd have probably put it there anyway, just so i could park in the driveway.
So I've made some engine decisions. I'm quite positive i want to run fuel injection, but not the setup I have and not the motor i have. I want to ditch both as I dont know the history of either.
I want to drop in a motor that came with stock fuel injection and an overdrive tranny, but I'm unsure of what combinations will work with my tcase, without an adapter. I've heard you cant run a 205 behind a 5.3 with overdrive tranny without a custom output.
What about a vortec motor or TBI motor. If I went with the TBI motor I've read good things about Bowtie Overdrives 700R4s, but dont know anyone that has one.
I guess I need to find out what transfercases are interchangable with a 205...
Need to do some research i guess.
5.3s are cheaper than vortecs or tbis at the j-yards.
yeah scott told me that once, how much did yours run with the tranny, ballpark?Quote:

Only catch is the drop of the t-case...Quote:

this being a toy and not a dd (ie reliability is not imperative), why do you want to pull the current stuff out, and why do you not want to run the TPI stuff you have? Wouldn't you rather have a driver in a long afternoon (or maybe weekend) than a project for the next 6 months-5 years? You'll also get a lot more selling a running motor and injection setup than a mystery motor. Or is there a reason that getting it running in its current state is no longer a possibility?
dude, it's a SBC and TPI...there are only two questions on this engine? Is it getting fuel? Is it getting spark? Once the answer is yes to these questions, it will be fine. If it has rod knock or burns oil once it's running, then you can worry about replacing it. It won't cost much more than time to try. Also, if power is a concern, it shouldn't be. A TPI smallblock will make an assload of torque. Plus, the tranny is already mated up to a transfercase and you already have driveshafts correct?
brians blazer has a tbi 350 700r4 and 241 in a 1990
is ur 205 round or figure 8 pattern
If it comes down to it, ill buy the fool injecton.
If you just don't feel like messing with the current TPI, this is what I would suggest. From what it sounded like when you got this thing, it would be more of a cruisin'/light wheeling truck, so the extra beef of a 205 wouldn't really be necessary.Quote:

I plan on pretty much pulling the body off the frame anyway, i see no reason why i shouldnt change the motor out for something i know some techhole hasnt hacked and cludged together. Since its going to see more road use then anything else i want the overdrive.
700r4?
found this doing research tonight:
and this:Quote:
You need a 27 spline NP205, coupler, and Factory adaptor from that was from a TH350. then you need either an aftermarket Tailshaft, or the easier route is to add a 1.5" spacer to the tailhousing between the adaptor, pretty simple fix. The 4L60E's tailhousing pattern is the same as the TH350, so the adaptor will bolt right up like it was meant to be there.
The 27 spline NP205's were found behind TH350's in 1969-1972, 1974, and 1980.
Let me know if you have problems finding the NP205 or any other parts. The factory adaptor might be tough, as they often cracked at the feet.

You need to do a VSS (vehicle speed sensor) Swap into the NP205 rear output to retain your speedo.
You can read about thsi in the product reviews sectyion @ www.coloradok5.com, its where the review the ORD doubler.
To put a NP205 behind a 4l60E, you need either an aftermakret tailshaft, or a driveline spacer. Search on CK5 with +700r and +205. The 700R is the same trans as a 4L60E.
Is the case/pan on a 700R4 the same as a 4160e as in the previous post?
You can also cut down the tailshaft of a 700R4, etc... to fit a 205 on the rear.
Why not just swap over to a chain driven case? Find a NP241 that is a passenger side drop. They are a little harder to find, but not bad.
It's much easier shifting a chain driven case, they have lower gears, and they are shift on the fly. I think they are better suited for what your intentions are.
jerry do you have to get it inspected before transfering the title where you live?
Big tires? but only in the back...I know a guy w/ a cummins who says that is the way to go!Quote:

I'm not sure why you're asking this, so maybe I should keep my trap shut!
its some gayness that Dallas County just started, and because of it my dad has 2 vehicles not in his name.Quote:

Passenger side np241's are too hard to find. For a DD, use a np208.
They are hard to find for a $100. Spend a little more and they aren't too bad.Quote:

I dont have to get it inspected pre-title transfer....here is the info from the tax assessor's site.

There is an addition $90.00 new resident fee at time of registration
my theory is this. I'm going to spend an assload on body work/paint to get this thing into the shape i want it in. I'm in no hurry. Why run an engine that i dont want? If i was in a hurry to get it running, i could see your point, but im not.

Any thoughts on ditching the 205?
If you're going to take your sweet ass time to get it going and dump a bunch of money in it, just look for good deals as they come along and see what turns up. That's the approach I'm taking with the boat. I say 8100 and associated drivetrain. I know all you really want to do with this is make really loud vroom vroom noises and lay rubber, I will testify that this is the combo for you.
that is what i plan on doing.
As far as the loud noises, vroom vroom, i plan on making this more "sensible", and maybe not even run dual exhaust :eek: dont tell the ffa though. :gigem:
we'll see im still looking for more info/options, i have a while till i have to decide anything.Quote:

huh? I was saying that i could get a motor/overdrive trans for as much as just a trans.
ah, i read, "what's the price..."
and i meant $1400 for the combo. $650 for the engine $750 for the trans, iirc.
"i'm just saying its a good deal" :gigem:
jimmy, who used to say that? :confused:
i just looked though my records since im home now and it was the other way around, the engine was $100 more than the trans.
