Ignition and prop Questions

Ahh ok,-- I saw that in a movie once where two guys draged for the ownership of the car. So you want to drag with Gonzo and take his motor?

I would immagine that gonzo would drive a-- Mmm lets see some thing a bit wussy-- maybe a VW Golf or a Volvo station wagon-- with a dog in the back.

How will you recognise him, will you wear a flower in your lappel or hold an umbrella. I will be wearing a toilet seat around my neck. This always makes me stand out from the crowd, unless of course this is common practice at American drag strips.

Sounds like I need to bring some decent beer as well.

 

Nah, there's actually some pretty good brew pubs downtown.

 

Sorry Stonebreaker, but besides having no knowledge of the difference between automotive and marine applications you are a bad liar. The time slips show you are running nitrous;hardly justifying your claim of a street car. Also, for a nitrous application, the times suck.

 

I found more of Stonebreaker's lies. In the information from the race track it shows that all the mechanical components and the porting etc. was done by real professionals at speed shops. His claims that he did anything is all hot air. I quote:
"LT1 355, built by Kenson Automotive in Fairfax, VA. These guys machine the engine blocks for Autothority, the BMW and Porche tuners. PCM by Bryan Herter" "In addition to the usual stuff, 150hp TNT nitrous system, additional fuel pump in the tank." "4L60e built by Briscoe Transmissions in Woodbridge, VA, 3500 stall Super Yank converter 3.73 gears" Next time you insult a real grease monkey who turns wrenches for a living and for a hobby don't lie. I guess as a computer geek you plays with your mouse instead.

 

Yeah, having the block machined at Kenson seemed like the smart thing to do - putting a CNC machine in my garage just wasn't cost-effective. You, on the other hand, got busted spouting wrong info to a forum member AGAIN, after you'd been warned. THAT's what matters. Throwing dirt on me doesn't do you any good, because it's not my word against yours. It's your word against GM's.

Tell you what. After I take your car on Tuesday, I'll even let you take first swing at me. I'll get my buddies to video and we'll post it to the forum.

 

You didn't just get it machined but the engine and transmission are completely built by real professionals. Stonebreaker, you got caught in your lies. Bluster and offers to swing at you won't change the shame of it. What are you, nine years old? Maybe all these years of playing with your mouse( probably the one eyed one, has made you believe that real life is like video games.

 

Where did I say I completely built my own engine? All I said was that I ported my own heads and installed my own cam. I DID make sure my rings were a little tighter than 80 thousanths, though.

 

HA HA HA HA...this is great...I guess the first thing I will say is I'm an import guy into tracks (EESCC, PIR) and starting to get into drifting...I'm no super mechanic, but I do turn wrenchs for a living....

as far as your fight goes, I went over all the info just for the hell of it, I know realize that stonebreaker really thinks he is tuff, and also thinks he is a good lier! (Just because you didn't say doesn't mean you didn't lie...its what you didn't say!)

Running NOS!!!! come on, if you get a car worth a **** you don't need that crap. My car is set for a track, and it will do a 11.7 with no NOS. Yes it has the turbo, but only one and a 16g so I am out of boost before I know it. Anyway keep the fight going I'm loving it...I just came here because I know jack crap about marine motors and not much about domestic anyway and so I know nothing about my boat...except for the fact it is not running right!

Hey gonzo...you have any idea why on my 4.3L V6 Chev in my sea ray dies when I put it in gear??? I am guessing carbs...but as mentioned I don't know carbs...I know Feul Injection...maybe you can help me out..

 

If it is a Mercruiser, there is an interrupt switch in the shift cable. It is usually installed in the starboard manifold riser. When you shift it momentarily kills the ignition to ease the gears in and out. If the cable to the drive or the switch are sticking it will kill the motor.

 

so How do I fix that problem? any idea were to download a book on this motor?

 

Clymer and Chilton make manuals for it with good pictures and explanations. They are easily available at most bookstores, boat dealers or online.
