6 years later it fires up! Just needs another 6 and it'll be driveable
...
Do you even time bro?
That engine is straight beast mode. They can take a beating, or so I've heard.
The disco ball in my mouth, insinuates I'm ballin'
nope, haven't timed it yet
It's not as straight forward doing the timing with the megasquirt, but it'll have to wait for exhaust and driveshaft. with no driveshaft it dumps fluid out faster than I can put it in.
Driveshaft is going to be kind of wierd too. I'm finding out the japanese copied then updated all kinds of stuff from british 60s roadsters. To upgrade the sunbeam to a 1310 ujoint I need a nissan Z driveshaft, same flange pattern and register. To go to dual circuit brakes a subaru GL wagon (which ironically would have been my first car if it hadn't been for the great Dallas Thanksgiving ice storm of 1995) brake cylinder bolts up with some plumbing.

sounds better with an exhaust, and the correct injector size in the ecu settings.
Magnaflow 2.25 round muffler, 2.25 exhaust, kustom header

turbo on version 2.0?
Red 81 CJ5, 35's, 4.10 and detroit, 4 to 1 dana 300, tbi efi, flat belly, cage, chromos and auzzie in front... sometimes runs. body damage to come
I'd like to, but there is still plenty to do and possibly redo before turbo
...
so here is the ridiculously overkill downpipe with the muffler slid over it. It snakes it's way from the header through the exhaust hole in the X chassis portion of the unibody. It's tight, but I think with the right hangers and that flex section it should stay put and not bang around in the tunnel
I still need to do the rear section that goes over the axle. But thats for later
...
Fuel lines and driveshaft done. It was a good feeling watching the wheels turn powered by the mazda engine
still have lots to so before it's burnout time

Has is cost at least $6750 so far? If not, why bother?
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
Way more than 6750, I'm a car guy
...
Clutch and brakes plumbed.
Shifter completed, had to shorted the linkage 3/32. Modified alpine stick to bolt to t5 mount
So close. Picking up the modified radiator tomorrow
...
What's the HP difference between the two engines?
