Holy crap. I didn't realize that you were building a pre series this whole time. Neat!

2020 can’t be escaped even holing up in your garage... James turning over a new leaf before his mid-life crisis. One mans junk is another mans... well scrap. Another pile of about 5 m90s not pictured ready to be hauled away. Haven’t even

gone through the 3800 heads section yet...

Holy crap. I didn't realize that you were building a pre series this whole time. Neat!

get the fuck outta here with that pre series shit
its a 90 LN3 vinC from the toronado trofeo we originally hacked the front subframe out of and put into the back of the twin engine 442.

its replacement is on the shelf, a 95 SI L67 talldeck, this is technically a series 1.5 as it has the cam snout/Tchain design of the SII as well as something quite similar to SII die cast rockers.
the LN3 is ported and worked over quite well and is running a SII oil pickup and f body pan with a modified SII windage tray/pan gasket and the 86/87 fwd intake flipped 180

even though ill probably never get around to putting SII heads on the tall deck, at the least this engine will be getting the smaller and lighter SII crank and SII pistons with rebushed chrysler 440 rods to get the rod/stroke ratio fucktons closer to 2:1 than the horrible 1.5 ratio of the SII short deck

for now though this well worked over SI is far more than the pos toyota rearend can handle not to mention the 88 2.8L v6 F body 700r4

Are you going to get it running NA and then turbo later on, or is that all temporary?

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

Meh we'll see.

This Toyota rearend and 700r4 need work to handle more than the ln3

 

[Handsome Jesus]

Turbo after working some bugs out and driving a bit. Maybe it'll get my billet 6262 after some more upgrades

 

[Euro]

Well holy fuck. 3 dinosaurs I haven't seen in years. James, the Cressida, and that Regal. Good to see all of this, glad you're doing well James!
