I dig that scope! Here's the Bluetooth dongle I've been eyeballing; it's more expensive but it won't pretend to be able to hear anything in our noisy trucks and it could be hidden behind the dash.

Life has a way of getting in the way of fun stuff I hear ya. Just hoping to get one of your radios soon. Keep up the good work!

*sigh I still want one, but I just bought a lathe and I'm broke Any progress on the low-level output project?

This.

I'll put in another vote for keeping 4 holes. No real reason, it's just cool

I've had Royal Purple 5w30 in mine for over 7 years now. Local Jeep shop did an overhaul on it back in the day and that's what they recommended. Only changed it once and that's because the truck went for a swim

Dang dude that looks great

PM on its way

Alright now this is getting ridiculous... ridiculously awesome!!

Jeez dude you'll have me considering doing my own body repairs before this thread is done. Good work!

The front gearset doesn't usually get the same attention that the rear does because we don't normally drive in conditions that would cause it to make noise. Change the oil at the same time you do for the rear and call it good.

very nice attention to detail on the engine bay!

I've heard of them. Thanks!

Got mine today.

Either steer clear entirely of that stuff or make 100% certain that you tell any future service shop that you've put propane in it. I say just shoot some 134a in it and be done

I spy CV shafts... what's the front axle from?

Love the attention to detail!

Would you happen to know from what engine code that 1.6 exhaust manifold is from? I'm not coming up with much solid info on domestic late '80s / early '90s VW diesels; the wiki page is pseudo helpful because it doesn't break down where in the world each engine was available... is it an SB perhaps (~1990 Golf/Jetta)?? Reason I ask is I'm liking the high-mount arrangement more and more despite not having an easy plug-n-play EGR cooler/valve any more. And lastly, did you say somewhere that the ports don't match up to the head or am I just making that up? lol Dig the pan baffle and modded pickup btw.

Are we to assume there will be no EGR?

Seems like I've seen the VW P/S pump be utilized in other (XJ) conversions... just going by memory.

bitchin! Is the compressor housing able to be clocked? (are any of them able to be??)

It still works great after a year and a half with regular usage. If the teeth on the pawl are shot and/or the pedal is loose on its pivot then this is really your only choice. The spring replacement/upgrade is obviously easier if yours isn't too far gone yet.

Same question here. Although I want to say it's a common aftermarket "high torque" starter for sbc or something. Stumbled upon this today. Hmmm...

I'm planning to use them on my ProComp center caps :thumbsup: If the demand exceeds the supply I'll step aside for those who have the OEM 10-holers. I'll then promptly steal the idea and have my buddy make vinyl versions! lol

I'm in for 4 as long as you're satisfied with the quality.
