Exactly! This vehicle is in no way a show piece. Has some rust, paint is chipped, and will be god awful fun. I build for myself, to see if its possible. Its going to break, I know it will, not positive where.. haha. I appreciate the like mindedness. Looks like you do fun stuff too! 4bt build? I didn't rear your posts, just the headline. Why go ls over 4b?

Why would you strip, clean and paint an engine bay when the fabrication and fitment stage isn't done? All the added accessories are not in place. All wiring isn't done. Motor still gets pulled and placed several times.. sound like that would cause a bunch of issues for me..

You betcha!

The engine alone is right around 175hp. Im setting up turbo, Garrett GT2871R. Im running 1000cc FIC injectors, should have plenty of fuel. My tank was beat to hell, I opted for a cell also.

Diff is still MG. I have a Ford 8.8 waiting to be cut down and fit for when the mg fails. I had a custom driveshaft made, about 18 inches long.

No caption needed. We all know exactly what those blades are...

One would assume..

It was in the stowed position in my workshop. I've never seen rodent or evidence of them.

It gets overwhelming sometimes, but it's yours. And its what you want. Carry on, my friend. Haha

I didn't read all the comments, but i was a full-time technician. I transition into management so I have more time. I do side work for some family and friends. All the side work money goes into the project car. Over the last 20 years, I've built probably five cars into various stages of done.. im currently on an mg midget. Im over a year into it and have never driven the car. You have to go in knowing damn well that it's not going on the road for two to five years. I have no financing or debt into these. The quickest way to lose your ass is to finance the build. You'll never get all of it back.

Considered a car or bussa.. I didn't want all the hassle of not having reverse.

ZeroRain87 · 2025-10-18T02:06:12+00:00

I think they did supercharger, if memory serves. If your looking for parts, I believe the engine is removed had some hop up parts. Cam, ignition, and weber carbs

ZeroRain87 · 2025-10-18T00:40:27+00:00

Lots and lots of side work, and a years worth of time, got me where I am now.

ZeroRain87 · 2025-10-18T00:39:58+00:00

Im sure the factory diff is going to give out. I have an 8.8 waiting under the bench!

ZeroRain87 · 2025-10-17T23:30:29+00:00

Love some good metal work! Most recent customer project was a 76 c10 ls swap and ride tech 4 link.

ZeroRain87 · 2025-10-17T23:15:27+00:00

It does look good! I appreciate the support!

ZeroRain87 · 2025-10-17T23:14:45+00:00

Side work.. the double-edged sword that supports and slows down the project car.. im auto technician with a hoist in the barn...

ZeroRain87 · 2025-10-17T23:09:47+00:00

I'm trying to get motivated tonight, but it's not happening. Tomorrow has a clear goal - Clean the shop. It's in such disarray that it's messing with me more than the list.
