This thing is awesome. I just worked on it today and changed the oil, plugs, cleaned the t.b., and slapped some 18's on it. It looks like a rally car with the wheels. Let me know how much you want for the motor and I can come out and get it from ya. This thing revs way high <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> and I found it will go to 30 in 1st and 60 in second and stopped after that.
Do you know of a bolt on disc swap for the rear Curtis? Anything I should look out for or into doing on this thing that you know of??
I want to see some pictures of the 18's. I just ordered a set of 14's for mine and was wishing I'd waited a little longer when I walked out the door.
Not sure if the DOHC engine is going up for sale yet. The wife is talking about putting it and the automatic in a sand buggy for her. (Yea, like I'm going to get time to build that in my life time.) You see, I made the mistake of aquiring a spare wiring harness and with the old ecm and auto tranny from the diesel it would make a killer sand car.
I'll give you first call on the motor when we make up our minds to sell though.
I agree, that DOHC rocked. I was doing donuts in the back pasture before I pulled it. My step son was with me and I almost had him wetting his pants. And this kid is a drag racer. You'd think he be used to doing crazy stuff like that! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> Anyway, that engine is a screamer. Can't imagine what it would be like turboed.
Let's Turbo yours! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I'm looking for a set of those rear disc brakes for mine. If you find some for yours, plan on bringing it up here to put them on. I can do a much better job that what the guy on the link did to his. A little too much Shade Tree for me. But hey, it worked for him.
I'll be regearing at least two of the 5 speeds to better gear ratio combinations for the diesel. That ought to be interesting! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Gotta get to work.
Later,
Oh and BTY, I am registered at Isuzu Zone as Turbo Trooper.
Did that last year sometime <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> because of the wifes Trooper. Must have been a brain fart.
I posted the I Mark Conversion on the Projects Forum last night.
