My VE friends, I've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is after a long pause, I'm back on this project....the bad news is, a 160hp Pee pump motor and 47RH is going to see it through. I figure the question is, WHY?! It's mainly a time issue, I just can't find time to build this VE motor right now. I was pretty passionate about putting a VE in this thing but when I found an unmolested motor, with a fresh trans, for a good price I couldn't pass it up.
If it's not too much salt in the wound, I'll probably just keep updating this thread, unless, of course, the pain is too much to bear :evil
The motor has 300,000 on it but has been well cared for and is bone stock down to the tamper screws on the pump. The 47RH is a Jasper reman with low miles, billet single disk and a few other updates. I will be starting a thread on the trans in the 94-98 section. The motor I plan to do almost nothing to. I'll have it on the stand tomorrow removing some of the unnecessary parts, checking it over, and bolting on conversion parts.
The power goals haven't changed, I've still got 2 chargers to choose from, and we all know it'll be cake to hit those goals with a 160 pump.
You'll also see updates in the Diesel Conversion area Excursion thread since some of those guys don't wonder into 1st gen land much.
