That had better be due to the fact that there are Suzuki transmission parts laying all over the place getting prepped for reassembly! Honestly, I'm not sure why you're in here teasing us instead of building and installing a transmission.

You know I'm just kidding. I don't know how you get anything done with a house full of girls like that. Though, I do understand why you spend time in the garage! LOL.

Yea Nate, I'm hoping to stack it up tonight.the weather is gonna b nice today so I'm going to get the case cleaned up. I also have a turbo on the bench that I was cifering on last night when I should have been working on a trans....and a pair of wisconsin generators I was trying to decide which I am going to put on the Yazoo and rewire it then..
Yea these girls will keep a fella on his toes,you know how that goes!

I'm waiting still on the up pipe v bands,inlet boot and ic boots.
I got my wife to go yesterday and pickup the plate to build the mount out of.

The inlet boot I am very excited about.I found a place that sells a 5.5" to 4" reducer boot with a45° bend.I think it will be perfect and I just will have to extend my current inlet pipe a bit.
I may get crazy and have the plumbing all powdered when its done.

I didn't figure you'd be able to do all this without taking it to the "next level". It's just how you roll, lol. I can't wait to see it come together and see how it runs at RRE. I'm a bit jealous, to be honest. I can't seem to break free from other commitments to spend anything (time or money) on my truck...

I'm trying though!

Its a sickness!

There may be a shipment sent to nitro plate as well...

Believe me,this is a stretch and I have sold stuff I had forgotten I had and found the most affordable way i could find .

in the end my trans wont last long so i will have to figure out that hurdle still.

I did do some tinkering last night on the turbo . nothing big but when I get to that point pics will flow. Mainly need that inlet boot to establish height. The SD plenums and y are on the engine on the stand so once i get the base and boot then location I think will be able to be lock down.

I should shut up and go do something..

You and me both... Trouble is I'm in Grand Rapids this weekend so everything I'd like to be doing right now is 5 hours away.

I don't have a set to use on my mockup engine to build my kit.
If I buy a set then I'm short to buy head studs..
I'd gladly return them when I'm done...or if this works out I could maybe help you with some parts lol

That is really by accident lol

I had originally planned ones and a 366 . this set of injectors came available and
Without a wastegate they would have been awful hard on the 366...

I guess in the end...i guess i went big?

Poor e4od is dead but has not gotten the message..

More pieces today :-)

haha You can borrow them for sure! I'll have to box em up and see what shipping will cost. I would like them back at some point. Ive got plenty of parts that need installed, so I will be focusing on that with my free time.

But the first thing I do with my paychecks is to get this other 7.3 engine back together because I am sick of having pistons, heads, and a crank sitting/standing on my workbench lol
