moonpie33's 1985 Pickup Build-Up Thread
hey guys
well i have started my build
i have a ton of plans
the truck should be getting a paintjob this week or next, all by me. So i have a 85 supra also but she has a 7m in her and i needed somthing to put the 5mge i just built into.
the 5mge has 199 hp and 203 TQ at the crank! stock is 150ish this aint stock though this was on a motor dyno also
the mods on the motor include
OS valves
bored 30 over
knife edeged crank
gude cams
camry alt upgraded alt basically
timing was 15 degrees BTDC and more then 20 on the dizzy
i had to run 93 to avoid pinging
never knocked or pinged under load
and a few other fun things
this is a rev monster this will be a great replacement over the sad little 22re
so i found this truck, shes in terriable shape so ill give her a new life
let the fun begin
here is a teaser pics more pics will follow
