Small update -

Engine is all ready to go, just needs dropped in. All else that needs done is replacing the TCC solenoid in the trans.

Looks like all of your other calendars are stuck....

Yep, they're all frozen in time!

No recent updates on the swap...

But I did blow money on a deal I couldn't pass up. Yea, I know I know... Lots of money and fabrication required. However, that doesn't bother. Tyler's thread on his was a very good read, and I know what I'm up against! But getting everything pictured for $560? Can't say no to that. It also has already had the high speed bearings installed to replace the originals.

this is going to be interesting

Hope your cam will play nice with this

Yea, it's going to be interesting alright... Haha. At least my cam is only a street cam so it's fairly mild!

So does anyone know what this hot mess is supposed to be?!

That looks like his very poor engineering way to support the shaft near the pulley against deflection when RPM picks up. Tyler noticed on his the pulley and shaft would bend inwards towards the accessory belt system when rev'd which resulted in one of his supports that he had to design to press against the water pump housing and support that shaft. SO this is part 1 of time and money to re-engineer that entire drive system.

That's fine, works for me. I'd much rather do it right than throw that pile of scrap back on it!

I have been wondering recently how possible it is to do this with the V9 as well...



Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

Can't see why it can't be done, other than needing a hefty bracket to support it way out there and not flex... as well as the space... You'd have to re-locate the upper mount or go back to pre 91 mounting system.

I'll have to take a good look whenever I get my car back some day. I saved as many photos as I could when this car was posted on Facebook, for future references. Just another idea to toss around!

Weighing my options here on doing the OBD2 swap...

Milzy Motorsports is only about half an hour from me. Between cost and convenience for the swap and tune, would the cost difference be worth it to do it myself or have them do it?

I plan to have them dyno tune the car regardless of who does the OBD2 swap, whether it's them or myself. I have no issue doing the work myself, I enjoy doing these kinds of things. However if it doesn't cost much more in the long run to have someone else do it professionally in a quicker time frame, I may consider having them do all of it.

Dyno tune is $500, and the swap would run right around $1000 at their swap.
