B C Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 No Wheels New Wheels The 17x9 style 5 reps were heavy, required stretched tires or plasma cutter experience And did not instill good feelings about driving hard. -5000 scene points later and I have a different set 15x8 et20 Konig Wideopen (13.5lb) This engine is going away It is/was a champion among M20s and proved its worthiness many times over. I will be pulling it, selling it, and rebuilding a rather disgusting-looking engine that has been sitting dormant for a few years to put in its place. No worries. My current M20 is being recommissioned to duty in another chassis Dirty, corroded, and im rescuing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowleym Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 oooh I'm excited for this. Wanna spill the beans on all the plans? LIKE EBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted December 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Im not even sure what will all be done besides an engine rebuild. There are many things I would like to do but I have to decide between taking time to do everything I want to do + missing out on driving the car in 2015 or waiting to do some things over next winter.

jc43089 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Do not remove the oil pump secondary shaft bearings unless they are damaged. That is all. Also I like the new wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowleym Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Go twin disc 7.25" have someone machine m20 flywheel and buy the hydro tob. Clutch is 10 spline 1 1/8 like Chevy. Clutches are cheap and it's nice and light. Very rebuild able. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc43089 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 I would hot tank it and see what happens to them. Have you ever replaced them? Sucks the big one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipMF Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 What size tires are you running on the 15s? I've been lokking for 225-50-15s but haven't come up with much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 What size tires are you running on the 15s? I've been lokking for 225-50-15s but haven't come up with much. Here is a breakdown of all the summer tire and track tire options in 15" from tirerack.com. I didnt include all-season or high performance all seasons to the table. Heaps of options in 205-50 but that would be slightly stretched on an 8" wheel I would like to do 225-50 but the prices are a bit stupid compared to the 205s The last thing I want is stretched tires and 205s would have a slight stretch but this is a 205-50 on a 15x8, very acceptable. Much better than the 215-45 on a 17x9 that I just got rid of HipMF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 The new tires i will be getting are going to be meatier and the front end is missing about 100lbs of weight. With that said, i plan on raising the rear 3/4" for better suspension geometry (as opposed to lowering the front) this had been on my to-do list for a long while now. Its hard to get used to how small the wheels look but they are SO much lighter and driving will be much more enjoyable mkoepp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
