Narrower?

You might get away with cutting a hole down through where the battery tray sits?
Yea, (narrower) seems to be the best idea. Going to search for something in the morning @ the junk yard. Like a small compact car rad. I see this clear a day in my head, wish I was good at that photo thing.

I looked at that area but the plenum for the ITBs will be right there.

DEFIANT 7M I've been watching this thread from the beginning. Its so cool to see things progress like this. I watched IJ's from the start too. I dont make many, if at all, comments on the thread. I'm very impressed with the work you've done. It's nice to see some guys from Tenn on here. I wish I could join in the games, but, that wont happen. When you get done. I would love to see this in person someday. If at anytime you will be passing through to GA or torwards NC let me know, when the project is done. I'm just outside Knoxville. As it stands now I dont trust my 86.5 stocker to much to drive a long distance. It's beginning its journey on the last leg of it life. I wont get rid of it. I'll have it rebuilt.
Anyway. Just saying you've done a fantastic job. You and a few others really impress me with your knowledge and abilities.


btw: IJ, you never emailed me the pictures of your head when you finished it. :naughty:

Hey thanks man that really makes feel good:icon_bigg and I will let you know when headed your way.

CNC goes over my head - its one of those things that you think 'woooooow, coool.' and 'i wish i could do that/afford that' :D

learning CNC isn't very hard.. It's justifying the price to buy one! You can probably take a college course in cnc and learn basic master cam 2d/3d then move on to surfaces and just build your experience. Thats all you can really do.. A book only shows you so much =). I use to make gears daily in class out of foam and aluminum or brass.

I come from a land down under
I had NEVER been hands on with a CNC before I did my retrofit and managed to make a part within 20 minutes of finishing it! :)

I think in my case not knowing that I can't do it that way saves me lots of time while I do it!

Allan; you should be able to fit that tank where the battery is supposed to go. Either that, or if you've got nothing on the complete opposite side, then put it there. Putting a smaller radiator isn't the best idea, especially a tiny honda-sized one...

I can't believe this build is almost ready to fire! I can't wait to see it..
Went to Pull-A-Part today to look at some different cars. I understand what your saying about a tiny honda radiator. But I did find several good canidates from the Volvo,BMW and Audi crowd. The thing is my oil tank is about 22" overall in length, basically the same height as our radiator. So making it fit without a bit of surgery and making it look good at the same time may be a pain in other places.

I agree, Allan. Now that I have full understanding of how large the tank is... yeah.... good luck is all i can really say... lol.
I've seen road race cars with the tank in the hatch. The constant flushing sound IJ spoke of may be one of those things you learn to live with. This thing holds 5 gallons of oil!!!:aigo: Here is a what a basic five stage dry sump system looks like to give you guys an idea of what I'm up against. There are still things I need to complete this set up right. If I can get this tank under the hood the main thing is I will not need 100 yrds of braided (KILL KILL THE WALLET) line.

how about putting it where your battery is/was. relocate battery.... or put it on the other side where the charcoal canister is or reroute intake and stick it there. maybe you already figured it out...but you mentioned wondering about a place to stick it....

It's just a thought...i know nothing about dry sump...if that is what your tanks if for (i quickly read some stuff....sorry if i'm off here....lol)

Those are good ideas. Thanks for the measurements. The battery side is pretty much taken up by the plenum for the ITBs and my little idea for fresh air intake from the hood:evil2: I could section out the area on the pass. side by the washer fluid. The nose area is kool but the tank would hang below the front skirt. Then the idea of weight 5 gallons of oil is heavy. The best place just might be in the hatch.:icon_conf :cry: :icon_conf

Alana, just a suggestion for sound deadening if it needs to be in the car somewhere. Check out this product. http://www.quietcar.net/

it brushes, rolls or sprays on and can be done in multiple coats. perhaps spraying the whole container with a few layers of this stuff would cut down the noise of the thing significantly. Some rubber mounts to the body would cut down vibration, resonance aswell I am sure.

Check out the demonstration videos on their site...it looks like it could be very effective for what you want to do. It's easier to work with, gets into small cracks and works better than dynomat. weight would be negligable aswell.

Hope that helps and best of luck with your project!

Waz up guys... I'm still here. I've suffered a couple major setbacks. A custody battle with my ex-wife and a break in at my house:3d_frown: Both have killed my wallet and drained me mentally. The ex-wife stuff I'll leave it with that! The house FUCK ME RUNNING!!!!!! Close to $35,000.00 losted!!!!! Don't mention insurance please...Had to do some things to pay legal stuff..lets just say wrong time to rob Peter to pay Paul! Some jackass motherfucker hit me hard!! All my tools, most of my electronics (my brand new Sony 55" Wega:cry:) and more, half of my comic collection (old stuff) like Capt. America, Beast 30 plus year old comics! , $5000 @ wholesale MaryKay (my girls stuff) cosmetics. We are still finding stuff missing! We did catch this asshat I got my two vintage cameras my grandfather gave me back. That felt really good they mean a lot to me... The other stuff NOT!!!! Long story behind this fuckhead and not worth speaking. But lets just say he felt safe to come out of his house after five police cars pulled up!!

Custom piston from Diamond Racing. They have a 4cc dome, gas ported, short skirt. We had to send the head and the head gasket to them to make the pistons. They used the head too digitize the combustion chamber into the CNC. They need the head gasket to get the center line and some other specs. With the stroke the displacement is 3.5L ;) The HardBlok should cure the running hotter problem and also strengthen the block. I've watched them "rock" several circle track engines. By rights most of these engines should overheat with the type of cooling systems they have, but they don't.
Going back a little... here are pics of my block after being "rocked".
