Sweet vid, looks like jbp is paving the wasy for the lsj.

 

Last time I checked, taking out head bolts with an impact gun wasn't a good idea..........

 

Unless, perhaps, you have no intention on reusing them and the plan is to drill and re-thread for larger head bolts.

 

Oh I know the headbolts can't be re-used. But it was my understanding that you could actually damage the head by doing so. At least that's what I learned in school and I was told the same by a couple of machine shop owners.

 

cant wait for the rest!

 

this might be interesting.... I seen the videos a few days ago looking at JBP's website. I would like to do a 400hp build once i get the car paided off. should be easy once i get to that time and point....

 

damn you guys gotta get more vids up asap lol

 

subscribed. Good ****.

 

Yep, you can cause trouble that way. Maybe we should assume that they loosened them in sequence beforehand?

 

That is likely a fair assumption as Greg (the fellow doing the work) has 25 years of experience under his belt.

 

What is the estimated date of completion?

 

this thread is useless without MORE videos!


god DAMN thats a teaser. more more!!

 

The rwd conversion has commenced. Once that is complete the car will be up and running and tuned within 5 weeks. Then there will be 3 weeks at Desired Customs for Keith to work his magic.

 

whats the status on this build????

 

After having been told the conversion was being done it turns out it wasn't.
The car was then sent to a different shop. The back end is cut and the 4link/ford 9"/adjustable coilover/custom axle kit is on order. The rest of the car is stripped and the chassis is being worked on. A spare engine has been bought and will be used for the positioning and designing of the engine bay/cradle.
The "built" engine is just waiting for the custom crankshaft to be done and then the engine goes back together.
Other specialized parts are being tested while waiting for the crank.
The turbo header will be done was the final engine placement is done so we can maximize the space. The chances are the header will not work for other LSJ's simply because of our turning the engine.
Updates are done regularly in my "RWD" thread.

 

good luck with the build

 

alls i have to ask is what do you do for a living and how can i get in it

 

Do you mind having sex with fat, ugly and old women????

 

Whats the status on this build.

 

Any new videos JBP?

 

videos are gone from the site. all are not found. Did JBP give up?

 

dude you dont even want to know what happend, they are far past that now

 

Technically yes. As for the clips I have them on disc but there really isn't anything news worthy in any of them.
