The 4.3 engine shares the same 90 degree gm corporate bellhousing pattern as all gen 1 and gen 2 (90s LT1/4/5) small block Chevy v8s. The bolt pattern is carried over to gen 3 and 4 LS engines...

Have you considered getting an oem catalytic converter off of something else and have a muffler shop weld the flange and slip joint to it? As I recall mkii and mkiii MR2s were fairly compact so far...
Thank you. I am running NB Miata spindles which use mustang ii ball joints and am curious about alternatives that offer more adjustment than what I've currently got.
Are the ball joints that come with the SPC arms regular mustang ii ball joints?
Helirich, I took these pictures while I was putting in the new exhaust and addressing a manifold gasket leak. This past weekend's misadventures did prove that the eagle premier manifolds can be...
I do not though the car is on my lift to address an exhaust gasket leak and install a new muffler and catalytic converter. I will see about getting some pictures the next time I'm tooling on it. ...
If you're insistent on keeping factory DMC manifolds, I recommend renting/purchasing an induction heater for the studs.
Outside of that, when I ran into this exact problem because two of the...
Looks to be a 16th" over 24"

I'm not sure why the forum rotated the image when I uploaded it. It looks correct on my phone.
I suspect you'd be surprised at what an english wheel can do for the stainless on these cars. I've run a few wrinkled quarter panels and fenders through mine with what little skill I have and was...
In my shop this past weekend would have done it.
...I've calmed down since but I'm still annoyed that this season's wake up routine included a new exhaust leak.
Wow, I'd have sold mine for less than that and it runs. I'm genuinely puzzled how these cars have managed to appreciate as much as they have in recent years.
I use one of these for mechanical taps because I do not hear very well and I find the acoustic isolation is really handy:

Arguably this isn't much of a sampling but 30k doesn't seem overly far off:

I will concede that these recent price trends have me considering putting my...
If you have access to the 570s drivetrain, why not grab a straight edge and a tape measure so you can post up what the dimensions are?
The old Buick 3.8 bell housing pattern will be different from a Chevrolet 4.3 pattern. There are commonly available BOP to GM Corporate adapter plates to accommodate this adjustment though. Offhand...
Just car people sharing car stuff. I found these guys several years back through YouTube because Ed hung out with Tyler and Freddie who did some story telling back when they were still in the...
Some of y'all might be disappointed when you discover the VinWiki app.
Wow, might be worth using the original vector and doing a 136" version on some aluminum sheet. I've been tinkering with the geometry this past week for the presentation one I'm doing. The optima and...
I think Michael's approach on the ratio adjustment is spot on. I am spinning up a 12x48 demo for a thin low power glow backlight technique that I expect will lead to a pretty decent contract....
Agreed, one mistake can nullify all the good in a man's life or career.
I'm not sure how that is related to what I described. While that is a commonly held view on the man, it remains in contention and can be ignored. John Delorean's failure as a business man was that...
Jay Leno's take on John Delorean seems spot on to me. With or without the $10 story, it is well documented that JZD was pissing away VC and other loaned cash as quickly as he could to show it off...
Marking the rotor button position as you described is a valid method of removing and reinstalling the distributor so long as the engine isn't spun while the distributor is out. When you pull the...
Tried to edit the original post but wasn't able to so I'm including it here:
Started to remove everything and curiosity got the better of me. Made some mixture adjustments and also attached the...
I discovered this on my shelf while reorganizing in my shop last week. I cannot imagine ever going back to a carburetor again so I'm putting it up for sale. This manifold is compatible with the...
