[muddpawz]

I just started tearing down my 87tc 2.3 thats goin in a '94 B2300 w/ T5 & 8.8 w/3.73s. Trucks all stock and is a daily driver/commuter so im building it to drop in and drive as best as i can! Good idea AJ on the post!! Id like to hear how every1's comming along as well.

I got some ARP rod bolts and got a place cleared out in the to get started on building a motor, now I just need a motor lol!

[D94R]

As soon as I upload the Bajillion pictures from my Europe trip I'll upload the few pictures I have of me sanding/grinding down the cab of the truck as I start my massive emulsion into the tear down of my sadly neglected Ranger as she has started to (but easily fixed) succumb to the ages of time and needs some proper body work to bring her back.

[Redneck86]

Oh cool, no hurry I got all winter lol! Wouldnt happen to know what the part number for a big VAM is would ya? I'm trying to figure out which one I have laying on the shelf.

[Jesshwarren]

[PrerunningRanger]

Well, i taken the Rods, and Pistons outta my 86T block and bought a head gasket, and bout to soon pull my 96 ranger motor swap the pistons and rods, and drop motor back in with a turbo ready to go on lol

ahhh yeah! the big VAM is the bigger of the 2 hence it is called the big VAM lol!

seriously though i think the little VAM has a smaller inlet then the bigger one. so if both the inlet and outlet are the same then its the bigger one.

[Redneck86]

The inlet/outlet are the same. I'm gonna keep it "somewhat stock" for a while then probably sometime during the summer when cashflow increases I'll switch to a newer computer and a tuner and all that great stuff.

[AJ_Fritz]

all i am going to say on that is.. take your time, do it right and dont scrimp.
