sniper Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 a 350 crate engine I got a deal on from a friend of my dad's. 330 horse (will end up at 400), hooker headers, performance intake, upgraded from 200r4 tranny to 700r4, 7.5" (or 7" cant remember right now) posi rear end, and tons more stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showtime 1-1 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Pulled the engine on the Bandit today. Came out pretty easily, too. Now I just have to order the gaskets I need, and pull that tranny apart to put second gear in. It's not exactly a quick job, however...Here's the frame, minus engine. The engine is a stressed member in the frame, so taking it out really takes a lot away from the bike.This is the big hole left in the bike, without the engine block, carburetors, air box, fuel tank and exhaust pipe. here's the engine/transmission block, placed upside-down on a table so I can pull the tranny shafts without having to take apart the top end. I hope this works...I hope to have this thing put back together and rolling in a week, provided I can find the parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Kammback Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I bought a gauge package at the AMC show the other day, doesn't quite fit, I think it may be for a Spirit or Concord, I think I'll wire it in and just leave it there anyway (even if it doesn't work), I can't bring myself to cut it to make it fit correctly.I also got to the air shocks today, much easier than I thought it would behere are the new shocksAnd the passenger old shock, still had a lot of, errr, springiness? to it, but I had to crush it to hold it still and take the bolt off the top of it.The trash men were here and I wanted to get rid of them, so I threw them in the can before taking a picture of both of them, I don't think it matters though, we've all seen old shocks beforeI had to mount the drivers side shock with the air hookup pointing out, the exhaust pipe would have been right in the wayI pumped it up as much as I could at home, then I drove to the flying j to do it right, though it has no gauge on the one there (hey, it's one of the last free air places) a guy pulled up behind me to fill up a donut, I was almost done, and I guess I didn't tighten one of the ends enough, so it popped off and the guy had the shit scared out of him thinking the car was collapsing on meLook at all the new ground clearanceAnd she feels so much better, it's amazing what a few degrees in stance can make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOW IN GOD'S NAME CAN YOU CALL THAT UGLY, THEY ARE BEAUTIFULNone of those I would call ugly. But then, I believe the ugliest cars are the blandest. The car I probably would dislike the most because of its looks, aside from the real horros like the Multipla and the Ssanyong's, is probably a solid, 90's Japanese commuter of some kind.YESSStill prefer Russ Swift in his little Mini.

Asper Sarnoff Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Thanks for the share Eagle. That was some great footage with an extraordinary vehicle being put to use. I did however catch that the driver did pass a couple others in ways that could potentially have lead to acidents, at least judging by this clip.
