SLO-030 Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) It may look good but not as good as my wicked 30 :jamie: Mini tubs are for girls. My mechanic built a ute like mine but not a one tonner. had a EFI 350 in it. He was gonna put these ridiculously wide wheels on it. Not going into detail but in the end, no flareage was required BUT the gap between the chassis rails was around 1.5- 2 feet (450mm-600mm for you metric folk) Edited April 19, 2009 by SLO-030 Quote

SLO-030 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 The ute itself was FKN sick. WB welbody "body", HQ premier quad headlight front. Bucket seats, aircon that comes up behind the seats so it doesnt blow in ya face. MASSIVLY dished convo pros out back and some skinny (compared to rear) frontrunners. Knocked back $35,000 for it. Was asking for around $45,000 last time i saw it. Quote
SLO-030 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 Tis a VERY nice ute. id buy it without hesitation if i had the money. same sorta story as my mates 7KT ke25. only wanted 3,000 for it :jamie: Quote

SLO-030 Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Posted May 2, 2009 Ryan is the new owner of a 5K. yea yea yea. this will be a longer term build. Bored and honed 40thou over ACL pistons Balanced bottom end Open out the chambers on the head to drop comp More than likely Double vlave springs. Probably solid lifters aswell (pending) Quote
Tume Posted May 2, 2009 Report Posted May 2, 2009 this will be a longer term build. Noo, it needs to be a quick awesome build! :wink: Where did you get the 5k from? Quote
SLO-030 Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Posted May 2, 2009 U-pull-it my friend. Smithius (i think) told me there was a 5K there as he had picked the elec dizzy off of it that afternoon. Got anally reamed for price (no lube), but i wasnt going to leave it there. Seeing as i took it out all by myself. Quote
SLO-030 Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Posted May 3, 2009 more than urs :) came with an alternator and starter, no leccy dizzy and i left the manifolds there Quote
trav_555 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 So now you need to find a leccy dizzy!! Well if its long long long term you shoudl buy my car when it comes up for sale and take the leccy out of it, they sell for a overrated nowadays ahhaha Gonna be sweet, so gonna be balanced, big cam? or are you gonna charge it?

SLO-030 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Posted May 4, 2009 yea pretty much as i wrote on thw last page Bored and honed 40thou ACL pistons ACL bearings Balanced pistons, rods, crank and flywheel Either open up the chambers or slap on a 3K head to lower comp (BP if one comes up cheap) Possibly solid lifter it. Hydraulic lifters and non adjustable rockers scare me :D Slap the SC on the bugger. Now that this engine will pretty much be a new one with low comp i might wind up the boost a bit too :) Quote
trav_555 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 Haha darn read everything except the supercharger line :) O well good to hear!!! Estimated time of arrival? Travis Quote
