looks like we are in for February, I think Dave is doing it also.
I need some help adding some tube to the cage and moving the seat back. Read: a bender, welder, and a driveway.
i have 2 of the three, all 3 if you consider a hf kinker a bender. bill has a bender, arnt you friends with him?
i built it at Bill's the first time, may take it back over there. I can probably mooch a bender if need be. Only need to make two bends, maybe.
dexter has a bender, hit sharpe up
you still need some tube?
yes, if you still have it.
Any thoughts on the best way to remove some welded tube? I was going to torch it off.
dont know how much he was gonna sell you but we have a few tubes of his in the garage
i just need one or less.
cage is done, thanks to Rhino, Seth, Danny, Rowdy, and Sharpe for their help. Just needs a muffler and an oil change and we are ready to go. Did I mention the cage is now purple, because it is just that awesome.
i have a magnaflow that could be donated to the cause. it is red with alto mud if that adds horsepower
i tried that sort of muffler, but it won't fit. I am just going to have rusty weld on a cherry bomb.
The race had an article in the Houston chronicle yesterday with a 70 chevy truck with 6 wheels!!
it is toyota truck, but still cool.
flem here is the link to the efi swap I am wanting to do.

I skimmed through it, looks like a few pages of talking about doing it, and a few pages of wiring it up. I didn't catch if it was tuneable.
I think for your car a ecu that will let you do blended alpha-n and speed density would be the best way to go. That cam has some big time over lap, and being a 4 cylinder I'll bet a vacuum gauge bounces all over the place at idle, so 100% speed density is out of the question.
megasquirt 2 will do this

this is possibly weakest build thread ever

I own the VW stuff so it is easy and you just buy a chip and slap it in, not sure about the tuneablity. I am trying to keep it under the radar, which I think megasquirt would send off kaxons. what I am builfding motor wise is pretty standard, so I don't need a ton of tunablity. Check these guys out for chips: http://www.snstuning.com/
waste of money. if you are going to put a mail order chip I wouldn't bother swapping to efi anyway.
alright, guess I will do it myself ;)
See if they will sell you an unburned chip, and turn Flem loose on it. He will have Barf waggin his tail in no time!!!!

no need, the motor is a pretty standard combo, the chip is already set for it.
Will that chip still be enough when you pour in your can of liquid schwartz??? :flipoff2:
