There was a guy in Corpus, nearby where I live, who had a Chevy Luv. I believe he had a small block V8 in that little truck and it ran like stink..craziest thing I've seen that was fast.

 

good to hear the update man, and i hope you had a meryy(whatever) and a happy new year.

feel free to post here as much as you want, you are an asset to cars in general. i cant begin to remember how many times you helped me out.

pictures of the things would be awesome. wink.gif

 

I will make sure to post up pics as i progress in my progects.

thanks for the warm welcome

 

well it is me once again. Just thought I would stop by and give an update on things. i am doing very good. Having fun with the truck and with my civic. the accent has been sold.

I am in the process of my engine swap. Here are some pics for you guys to see.







That was started this weekend. the engine plans have changed a bit. i am going with a 3.1 from the camaro. I am using forged pistons woth a slighlty less dish(more compression) it will have an edlebrock roller cam and roller lifters with roller rockers. the heads are been shaved as well as ported and polished. it will have a 3 angled valve job on bothe the valves and seats.

There is a lot more that i am doing but it is still oin the works.

Anyways i hope you are all doing well. i hope the hyundai scene is still going strong and that your cars still kick ass. I was once again kicked out of HP.com, oh well. i guess they don't care to see how i am doing.

Well that is it for now, i will talk to you guys later on with more updates.

 

Yo! I hear the 4.1-4.5-4.9 caddy v-8s fit the 60 degree mounts.

 

good to hear from you john. glad everything is going good. looks like the project is pretty b****in.

 

yeah the project is going stong so far. still have a lot of cleaning to do and painting. i will post some pics of the finished project in a few weeks

 

Well today i spent most of the day assemblying the engine. there are still a few odds and ends left to do but for the most part it is near completion.














So the project is nearing the end. i still have to install the flywheel clutch and pressure plate. As well as the oil pump and pan. I will be putting the engine in next saturday if the weather is nice.

I am very excited to get her back on the road. i will keep you guys updated.

 

That looks hot!! Can't wait to see it when it's done
