I got the RV-torque cam and the over sized valves. I told them it runs on Propane and they knew some tweeks for that as well. Apparently a lot of tow trucks run on that up in Oregon.

Looks like I found the right place. They seemed quite knowledgeable and are already building it.

Now on to the Distributor.

 

Dude that sucks. I guess it will turn out for the best in the end. It's only money right?

I want in on the drag race too. Let me know ahead of time so I can throw in some 91 octane and slap on a few TRD stickers.

 

Oh... distributor, not alternator. Never mind me.

 

Nice...sounds like you made a good call.

 

not funny!

 

I hear Elvota is going to be doing a new 4.0 swap with this barely used 2006 V6.

Just kidding. That motor would be cool in the buggy, but it would brake parts right and left I bet.

 

Smoking deal too on a 4.0 w/ tranny

 

I'm in for the drag race. I'll pull 2 spark plugs so it will be fair.

 

....

 

Cary @ Got Propane fixed the buggy. The new 22R is up and running. Turns out the motor did not die but the MSD box, now it has a custom GM ignition and works a lot better.

Even more simple yet. That motor had 300K on it and leaked like no tomorrow, it was due for a new motor anyway. No more leaks.

Bottom line is the buggy is back, and yes it still only goes 55.

 

And that's enough.

 

but you don't get a zero to sixty time if it tops out at 55.

glad to hear it's running.

 

I bought the engine from Sunwest in WA. from ebay, with the new head,timing cover, high lift cam, new everything and delivered to Va. with no core was 1300.00. Seven year warranty. No problems.

 

Good to hear you got it squared away Steve.

 

Good news Steve. Just in time to drive it up to Moab!
