Earl Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Measure them:) if you had to bore it out you'd need oversized pistons. You can't just slap bigger rings on to fill the gap:P lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 False you can, up to a .50 over. It's pricey though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
industrialsized Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 yeah you can just hone them out if they are still round and the bores aren't hourglassed. just use a blade hone and go slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I need to measure it all first to make sure I can safely do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Oversized rings just sound janky to me. Like a quick patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Pelican sells them, so I will assume that they are not that bad. But if I need to go oversized rings I will end up with a new motor.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 So it looks like the 318 will be sold! Good or bad I do not know, but it gives me the money I need for the swap car. Guy that will be buying it is a good guy, has great taste, and will take care of my baby. It is amazing that You can get so attached to a car. But I know that its going to good hands./rant.

GunMetalGrey Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Will pick up a beater, maybe a cheap rusty e30 that I won't want to toss money into. But we she see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 So, I will make a larger update at some point, but the car has been "finished" to the point of driving, ordered some stuff yesterday, sent my rear shock mount through the trunk, and as a result may need a new tire, even though the current one only has 50 or so miles. And life carries on, got my black window banner;) few pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Finally had some time to work on the car today after busting my ass for the past three days on tims car trying to get the m50 situated. If his car was a late model it would have been sooo easy, but no he had to have the early model lol. Right now it doesn't crank, the starter spins but doesn't engage. Lots of possibilities to look into. Anyway, I got the car back in the garage and decided to make it a bit easier to work on Everything came off real nice and easy, figured this would be nice because now I don't have to worry about scratching/denting my nice body panels! So the plan right meow is to shave the bay, take out all the unnecessary brackets and things that the new motor won't be using, went to harbor freight and picked up this bad boy to help me out a bit! The right angle should make it real nice to work with, after shaving the bay out, the bay will get a respray I think, make it nice and fresh! At this point the m60 is a definite yes, and I am just working on sourcing one, which is tricky. Also going to be going with the five speed (given I can find one) and we shall have some gnarly v8 power! So glad that I am leaving the m50 swap, it was just too common for me! Next big task is to remove this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
