I haven't been a big fan of the "tuner" exhaust systems as of late. but my existing 2 1/2" pipes looked like pea shooters. So I broke down and picked up 2 - 3 1/2 " resinator tips. They look much better and give the new V-8 a deep droan.

Looks good Tony (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) So how is your car running since you put the new motor in? Haven't seen any pictures? Inquiring minds want to know.

Inquiring minds want to know. Hi Mark, All is well. I have about 350 mi. on it now. Seems to be running strong with good oil pressure, lots of power and plenty of revs. So today I go for a Sunday drive into town, I hear this squeeling sound while cruzing sown the road. I shut it down and pull over. I opened the engine lid and restart it. I could hear a dry squeel with a slight crunching noise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) I shut it down again. Good oil press, temps OK. I realize I'm on empty so I needed to make it to the gas station if I want to make it back home. The noise is gone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) So I continue to go to town, All's ok. Temp running a little hi, 200* usually 180*. Oil press id good. Drove home gingerly but it ran good. I checked the play in the alternator, and remote water pump pulleys, all OK. Still, no more noise. So with the temp running higher than normal I'm hoping it's the water pump acting up. I have to go out of town for a couple of days. When I get back I'll pull the pump and Alternator for inspection. Hope that was it. All in all thanks for your help, Let me know when you head this way to see the inlaws. Tony |
