backwoodsboy Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 With the lack of snow this past weekend, we decided to start a spring project a little early. Nothing warms the hearts of USMB board members, like rednecks stripping out a brat for a fresh EJ swap... so here are some pics of last Saturday. More to come as the fun progresses. ENGINE OUT 4 SPEED OUT ...more to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt the owners manul say to keep a lighter handy to engage the "boost"?? Well I am hoping that the more miles I put on him the cheaper he will get. So far he is really expensive at the moment. As for the backfiring.....well I am hoping it will work itself out but I do like the extra boost. I don't think he came with the owner manual....or is he hiding it on me:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevethefolkie Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 And for the backfiring??? Doesnt the owners manul say to keep a lighter handy to engage the "boost"?? Just figure out a methane "collector" under the seat and run a 1/8" tube to a vaccum port on the intake manifold - boost at will (consumption of beans, beer and pork can help you gain additional boost, by the way). Where in NY are ya from? My wife grew up in Gouverneur NY (about 100 miles North of Syracuse) ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
