outlaw star Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 Yeah, this is going in once I put my gears in. Took it out of my old Xj.
88whitemanche Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Super saggy springs Huh? That 44 is going to look nice under there
outlaw star Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Super saggy springs Huh? That 44 is going to look nice under there Yeah. She sat about an inch lower in the rear before so these helped.
wombat Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 what mercruiser parts did you use in your engine and why?
outlaw star Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 Old school (early 80's) Swapped the OMC for the AMC head because the designs and manifolds are different. This is just stuff I had laying around.
outlaw star Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 Also the crank is heavier than the stock 2.5L crank. Pontiac also used that crank in the race versions of the Fiero. Its the same effect as adding a heavier flywheel.
wombat Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 so really all you used was a mercruiser block and internals?
outlaw star Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 Correct. I used the AMC 2.5L head.
outlaw star Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 I stand corrected on my lift, took all the crap outta the back of my truck (transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, spare tire, etc) and the rear raised up about another 1.5"! Damn, now I can take my 1" coil spacers and rear 1" shackles and probably clear 32" without cutting. Here's before I took the crap outta the back on 31's.
outlaw star Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Now I need new sway bar links (one broke installing the lift) and put my track bar on. Might throw these on along with some 32" tires.
