Cant wait to hear her grunt again lol, idle rev at 1000 RPM. thats a large overbore thats been done to the motor, was it sleeved or just bored. If it was just bored, you will struggle to rebuild the engine later on using the same block. Otherwise sounds like it will be a beast. I remember my hz 5.0L that had an .080" overbore with slightly worked heads, cam. With the dual exhaust was very quiet till 4000rpm then u heard it.

Tony Soprano Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 The ute looks awesome Joe, make sure you keep the thread updated. Moses do you feel like putting up some pics of your car? I like the sound of the 2J in a BMW... Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Thanks guys, Dangles shes now at its limit cant go any further over, no room lol, exhaust wise im looking at 4 in 1s and the manifolds will be ceramic coated. Moses, no shes not charged just all standard. You being a spraypainter will appreciate the finish. 1 Coat black undercoat, coat of silver speck, 3 coats of cobalt blue, 1 clear coat sanded back then clear coated. The patern is called Crazer. The engine bay is to be mirrorchromed. M8 have a look at the paints from alsacorp.com they will blow your mind, the paint is now available in OZ mine being the first done i think? People are going to love the colour or hate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildfish Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 NICE! that colour looks wicked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Wildfish, the colour took me 2 years to decide on. We tried to make it as close as possible to the blue water offshore, its hard explaining it to a panel beater who has only seen green water inside, but he nailed the colour on the fifth mix, thinking about mounting a gamechair on the tray for laughs.
