i'm poor..

 

the trans i feel just needs the aftermarket controller. as my car builds 20 lbs boost at half throttle. but when at half throttle the tranny is only running at half pressure!

 

but i am more worried about rear diff .

 

i really don't want to put excess money in the car right now. i already have the controller just need to take the plunge and install it.

 

and i have already run 13.2 quite easily.

Quick mock up of the engine

 

Today i ballanced my new hd flywheel using a drill press and a forklift !

 

I hope to put the engine back in this weekend

Well the 3.8 is externally balanced meaning the flywheel has a weight on one side.

 

I tool the original flywheel and put it along side of the new flywheel on a rod that fits in the center hole.

 

I then turn one flyheel 180 degrees from the other.

 

Then i used the forkes as leveling rails, found the heavy spot of the two flywheels that are bolted together . And i just kept drilling a hole to remove weight from the heaviest point. Untill there was no heavy spot. So the new flywheel was countering the old flywheel .

 

And thus i have a flywheel that is balanced the same as the original!

Great stuff! Funny - I had an '86 T-type for 22 years that, once I got on the "ura-buS", I couldn't envision trying to fix all the GM-inherent issues, so I sold it @ 94kmi for $500 less than I paid for it in 1988. Keep up the madness!
