Wow... your pics of it make it look MUCH better than it did in the auction.

Congrats on the good catch.

Jon

 

hey its from an auto. Good find. Whos gonna drop it in for you?

 

Wacko. We're having a BBQ at his place this weekend.

 

Cmon man, don't ya let me down. I have the engine in the warehouse of my office. Yesterday I removed AC compressor. exhaust manifold and started on rat's nest. I'll have it ready by Thursday, then can drop it off at your place Thursday night. Let me know if that works for you.

NoLuck would beat a stock 12A.

 

thx.

 

I will let ya know.

 

can i bbq w/ you girls?

 

 

j/k man. If there is one, you're invited as long as uncle Wacko doesn't have a problem. Bring your own wrench though.

 

Here's the engine in its present condition::





Here's all the extra **** that was removed:




Tomorrow, last thing left to do: clean it.

 

no need. Clean it after I install it. But if you must, be sure to put duct tape on the intake and exhaust ports. You dont want those junks to get there.

 

Yeah I'll do that. In fact all the ports are sealed now.

 

Dude! Even the rat's nest tubing is still shiney!

That thing should clean up nice..

I might have asked, but what do you need to do to make an Auto 12a fit into a standard?

Jon

Edit: Rat's nest off, but Air Pump still on

DoubleEdit: Okay, you removed it in the picture of all the "misc parts" I was thinking you were aiming for "The solution to pollution is dilution" and plumbing it straight in like mine is

 

change the flywheel.

 

change the flywheel from a similar year engine.

 

its probably just fine. ive seen the motor in person..i know the guy..

 

Good to know that. Now I know who to go after if its bad.

thanks mikey <<<====do you still need a tranny? I got a used GSL-SE.

 

yes i most certainly do.
i got an new rx7 thats an auto...
it needs to be converted to a stick.
Please hook me up with the tranny.

are you parting out a whole SE??

 

Look, I found an engine under the dirt!

 

Looking better and better:

 

Ian's got the Sterling Carb?

Who's racing against the Weber with a Sterling?

 

it will be my bro's SA. He blew his streetport - now running a stock 12-A with IDA. I will be installing CDRAD's engine tomorrow. So maybe Sunday run or sometime next week. I will try to video tape it.

 

I'm missing something...(besides my left temporal lobe, I mean)
:scratchhead: Who's running Cdrads Sterling Carb? What engine?
Do I get a say in jetting it before the drag? (-I mean if it's not Carlos...He don't listen to me nohow anyway!)

 

I'm running my sterling carb, in the stock engine you see in the pics. The current jetting in my carb is your recommendation.

So going from a streetport to a stock engine, should I make jetting changes?

 

Stock engine & flywheel?
I'll PM you.
