I would like to purchase a pair if they are still available at the $599 price.

thanks a lot!

does anyone know the thread size/pitch of the bolts that attach the bellhousing to the block? I'm trying to bolt the engine to a stand but I need some longer ones to do it and I'd like to pick some up before I make the trip home and go to work on it.

If all you care about is power for the dollar than get a big pushrod v8, really. There are a bunch of other reasons I'd much rather use a 1uz. The power band of the 4.0L 32V engine is nice and smooth, not just a big torque hump in low rpms. Reliability is a tricky issue. Part of it comes...

I was under the impression that producing ethanol from corn is much too inefficient, compared to sugarcane like they use in Brazil. In some cases there is a net loss of energy when producing ethanol from corn.

Businesses don't need tools to screen for illegal workers. The problem is that they LIKE cheap illegal workers. Keyword is 'cheap'. Most of the stuff he says is just rhetoric. Bush's administration has done little to nothing to reduce oil dependancy, or waste. Our primary and secondary...

Look at the roofline and the shape of side glass, and the long hood like you said. It's SIMILAR in styling, at the very least. If you want to argue what "similar" is, feel free. I own a MKIII supra which people have been known to confuse with a :censored: ford probe. I'd say they're even more...

Sound Performance does upgrades for A340E. They don't make any horsepower claims, which isn't reassuring, but people have successfully run them with 700+hp. Of course that's a turbo 6, not a torque monster v8. http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=291468 For those of you who with a...

A scavenge pump in a dry sump system should be capable of pumping MORE oil than the main pump to effectively scavenge the oil pan and keep the tank full. That means its going to pump air a lot of the time. It wouldn't be a 'dry sump' if the scavenge pump didnt keep the sump empty. I hope you...

There have been commercial trucks with both a supercharger and a turbo charger, so I think you're right about that setup having its merits. I saw one such truck in a junk yard and I think it had a GM big block.

Zuffen, I think you're missing something. Boost with an air-air intercooler that is not warmed up already is good, because it does take heat away quicker when it's cold. You're also right about heavier intercoolers being able to contain more heat, and so they're colder for long. So, weight is...
