And $3 at the parts store vs $14 for a whole gasket set makes more sense.

Just so you know, if you change your intake manifold gasket, but aren't taking off the plenum, you can use a gasket from a 95 SOHC neon. They match very very closely to the magnum manifold. http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n396/INVUJerry1/01%20RT/20140810_123746_RichtoneHDR_zpsfjsuajdh.jpg I order...

Only took 2 progress pictures. http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n396/INVUJerry1/01%20RT/20140809_191721_zpsba0n1z1e.jpg 95 style SOHC gasket against magnum intake manifold, lines up really well, just a little ugly on the front side ( I could have trimmed it a little but forgot to). http://i337.pho...

Got the head on, torqued down, etc and started. Need to tighten the alt belt and then take it for a test drive. I hope it's okay.

Joe came down, we got the car about halfway done. Head is off, most of the parts swapped over to the new head, just need a few small things to continue in the morning.

Been a long time since I worked on a car until 1AM.

Headgasket set came in today, and I cheated when I bought it. I knew I was putting a standard head on the car, so I bought a headgasket set that was on sale at rockauto for $33 from a 95 neon, then I bought 4 95 neon intake manifold gaskets for $3.50 total (63 cents each, I couldn't buy just one)! T...

Well I'm going to have to drive it until I get the 98 back on the road. But I really preferred the 98. It's a lot faster.

Just slap a regular head on it and and roll on it for a while. You likely won't notice the difference and it buys you time to have the mag head properly repaired. Then drive it to PGH and meet Ryan and myself to swap my fake CCWs for those MSE stones. That's what I'm planning on doing. The head I h...

Would need some good cleaning, maybe grinding some material away, and weld that chunk back on, then re drill and tap the hole. Or probably just re tap it. Removing the material will shrink the hole size to make re tapping possible. Just stick the beginning part of the pipe tap in there and tack wel...

That's kind of the plan. I have a standard SOHC head that was rebuilt a while back I'm going to put on.

I didn't want to post up until after Carlisle, was going to surprise a few people, but it didn't make it up anyway. Picked this up from Scott, came almost non-running, but with some good parts. The evening I picked it up (crappy picture, tried to lighten it up some). http://i7.photobucket.com/albums...

That's pretty badass.

Dude! I was so happy to see you both and this car!

Daytona spindles I meant. They should bolt on, and have a bolt in hub vs pressed in. Options for 10 or 11" brakes bur you'll probably stay with 10 for your wheels.

You all have fun

Quicksilver drove from Missouri, at 1,560 miles, EJ drives every year at around 1,550 miles. You can do it!

Can you run Daytona hubs?

I found a ECU a LKQ that fits the bill. They also have the steering column. that has the skim module Here is the tricky part my mechanic said i need the console housing as well which has the speedo, and tach in it because they are all inter synced. Can anyone confirm this?? They are not synced. You...

It had a broken HDMI cable ;). My friend's friend thought it was broken and was going to trash it, so my buddy was like "hmm, I bet Jerry would like this." Lo and behold, it works great with my new computer. It is amazing all the perfectly functioning stuff people throw out. Congrats on your new to...

Glad to see you're back, but you have to think, you didn't have it for 4 years. Might as well write it off as neglected and replace everything you can.

Good luck with it!

Oh I must have missed it, good deal man. Can't believe how many times I see people with a failed belt 10-15K miles after they have the timing belt and water pump replaced. Happened to me on my 96 SOHC I bought, the guy never replaced the tensioner pulley, broke the belt. Awesome you're learning how ...

I don't know what I'll have ready, so I'm going to register on the field.

Did you replace the timing belt tensioner? Or at least the tensioner pulley?

2008 was a good Carlisle, just wish I had drank back then. I was a little boring. Always made it to the show field though!

r/tguy02 wrote:Yep same one I had, like I said I'm pretty sure it's just a pt clutch with red paint

I just hope it doesn't come scattering apart at 7500 on 83 in PA.

I just got a stage 1 because it was the cheapest. It said 215tq and 235hp. If it holds the motor and a 75 shot I'll be happy.

So, I now have a DOHC motor to go into the car, a new to me transmission, an XTD clutch on the way, an AFX long tube, a DOHC intake manfold in the shed, and am going to look into getting a boostbutton.com ecu. I also have suspension bushing kit coming, but that'll have to go in after Carlisle. Let's...

Damn u jerry.....lol.

I'll re-link it a few times. Almost wish I had bought this instead of getting parts to fix my NYG.
