subynut Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I'm jumpin off the walls!!! Me suby is back on the road! Yippee!!! Ordered an engine from CCR and FINALLY got it in and running. Biggest hangup was needing parts and having to order them. Like, engine and tranny mounts. Get this: Checker was the only place in town that could get the mounts. BUT the engine mounts took 5 days to get and the tranny mounts took overnight to get. What gives? The other tricky part was getting the ditsy lined up correctly. Anyways, Suby's running again and I no longer have to drive that van anymore. Oh, I suppose U'd like specs. yes? Carbed EA82 longblock, SPFI pistons, decked heads (I forget how much), Delta torque cams, new clutch, and new disty. Oh, and I also put Limited Slip in the rearend too. Now all that's left is exhaust, I'm thinking duals, and tweaking the carb. Took her for test drive around the block and I definetly notice an increace in lowend torque. WOO HOO!! Thanks CCR!!

subynut Posted September 6, 2004 Author Share Posted September 6, 2004 Well, took her off road today. Wow, what a differance! I was crawling along around idle with no pedal effort and she just kept on puttin along! THAT'S the kind of torque I was looking for. No more step on the gas, just get over the hump, jump on the binders style of driving. Out on the hiway, she just cruzzes along happy as a lark. I do have a hiccup just as I open the secondary and I had to turn the idle speed in about a turn and a half. So, now it's operation tune the carb. Who's the best place to get a jet kit?
