Just messing around here in this video... actually it's really a sound clip cause I had to keep my hands on the wheel. Mud tires on wet asphalt don't grip well especially since my truck hardly weighs anything. =] Slippery slippery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1_yaBpMGFk I've been working a...

Damn forum screwing up again.. adding whacky attachments. Yeah I used the crazy epoxy and it's holding just fine. The next thing is JB weld... actually the next thing I do is buy a brand new generic size aluminum radiator and begin modding it like I should have done in the first place! Never...

Just a small update. Just been adjusting the clutch and I think I got it nailed today. I also grabbed my old Flowmaster and threw it underneath so that I could actually hear myself think when I drive. It's cutting down the flow a bit but hey, I'm not choking in the cab from the gas now and it's...

Wow that looks great... the engine, the boat and most of all you get to go out and enjoy it! Beautiful.

Lookin good. Will be interesting to see how it works out. It's just a matter of time of course.

Hehe you have some big plans but that's a lot of money. I would just grab a 1UZ and toss it and the transmission in a 944 and go have some fun! Welcome to the 1UZ source!

So jealous!

Haha thanks man. I did some great burnouts today! Then when I was in another town visiting some friends at a shop my radiator sprung a leak so I used some super expensive industrial epoxy for radiators. The only catch is that it takes 24hrs to cure so it's parked until I get a ride back tomorrow...

Wow lets see some pictures when you get started on her. Had that sucker shipped from my back yard eh? :D Well Modesto is only a couple hours away from me anyway. Sounds like you'll need a supercharger on the 1UZ to get that big rig rolling.

Mmmmm supercharger...

Yeah that's painful to wait so long. Let us know how it fits when it all goes together. And I recommend people use credit cards for such purchases. It's the only way you can get protection from these sorts of transactions. Even if you use Paypal... use the credit card option. I would gladly pay...

Here's a good one. The only video I have so far. Friends were fighting it out for a ride in the truck and the loser had to take a video while we drove away. :D Trying to keep the revs from going to high for now. Also kinda have to baby the clutch while I put together my new one. Also I'll begin...

Hmmmm Supercharger....

Thanks big C. This thing is a dream come true for me. I popped the clutch out this evening and I should be able to grab a different disk and make it work just fine. I want to take my time and get a performance clutch to match the good flywheel. I have a feeling I can get a 6 puck disk to work...

I haven't had ANY time at all in the past few days and I have to work as fast as I can in the morning so I can have time in the afternoon to find a new pressure plate and clutch disk for a new flywheel I have. The other POS isn't working for $hit. Yeah it drives but it's NOT RIGHT. This engine...

I drove the truck this afternoon. It is fast.

And for everyone's viewing pleasure I took a video of the engine firing up today while I was troubleshooting the alternator. It starts up on it's own with the turn of the key like it should. I have the Adaptronic tucked nicely under the dash and it's working quite well. Of course the...

Hey thanks I can't wait to drive the thing. I've fallen victim to Murphey's Law once again today as my alternator isn't up to the task of charging the battery. That's what you get with an original LS alternator! That must be the ONLY thing I haven't replaced yet on this engine. Tomorrow I'll get...

Just a quick update. I have the Adaptronic all wired up in its home in my glove box. Since I have all the wiring done right I have wrapped it all up and it's nearly permanent at this point. I also put the wheels and drive shaft back on the truck so you KNOW I'm getting ready to drive this...

Yeah there are a lot of options to use out there if you have the means to do a little machining. The Adaptronic isn't as plug and play as you think. It would be a big mistake to run it standalone with a supercharger at first. There are so many things you have to get familiar with to get it...
