le sigh

balancer blew up screwing up cylinders 1 and 2

 

Throw that boat anchor in the water and put a ls1 in it

 

I have $1600 worth of custom wiring harness in the truck....lmao

 

Audiophile here, more like an audio fool. Anyway, Klipsch and tube amps are my standard.

 

I miss my 83, straight front axle, single cab, longbed. It was stolen from right in front of my house. 385,000 miles on it.

 

Ls harness is only like 300 on eBay. Plug and play.

 

im not getting something like that off Ebay lol, I ended up finding a replacement 3rz for the time being for $900, just gonna drop this one in for the time being

 

however...the tacoma on the other hand...she's gonna get some loving with some goodies about this time next hopefully. some big changes coming

 

Better then 1600 and I’ve got a few guys I know running it. No problems

 

yeah but the 1600 was mostly because this is also an entire body harness too, not just wiring for the engine

 

Get the Holley terminator, comes with the ecu, touchscreen dash and engine harness for $1k. It’s what I’m going to run in the El Camino.

 

that sucks to hear man :/ I luckily quickly found a replacement 3rz thats running and in good shape for pretty cheap

 

yea, that truck was loads of fun!!

 

Honestly this is the time to do it. Plentiful parts everywhere even a 4.7

 

i would, but I have too much money into the wiring for the 3rz. I really dont want a V8 in the 80 right now to be honest, im perfectly content with the 3rz as its already made for a vehicle that weighs more than what it is. I just want this damn thing driving already haha. im going to pick up my replacement 3rz today, so all i gotta do is move some accessories over and drop it in

the tacoma on the other hand, possibilites are endless lol, im thinking a T56 Magnum with a gen 3/4 5.3 LS with some bolt ons

 

How many bent rods?

 

zero, balancer blew up, piston sides in #1 and 2 got destroyed and walls in #1 and 2 are messed up. I guess the metal from the balancer got into the walls or something and messed everything up. All rods are good, rod bearings, main bearings, all thats good...literally just the balancer, oil pump, and cylinders #1 and 2 that got effected

 

Maybe it’s just the angle of that pic, that first one on the left looked bent.

 

I wish they would offer more support for V6 engines...the Ford Cologne 4.0L, the Chevy Vortect 4.3L, some of the newer 24v ones that are making close to or more than 300HP (not sure if their torque curve is all that great, but one out of a 1/2 ton truck would probably have plenty of torque if not the impressive HP rating).

I honestly don't think a V8 is the way to go with what we do most of the time. We want to be overaxled and underpowered, unless of course you're rock bouncing, but I doubt a stock chassis truck is really up to that anyway.
