    looks to me like you are going for the stance and tucked award.

    Could be the next import atlanta trend right there.

  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    I've got the rear figured out, but the front is giving me second thoughts... I don't want to make 'er undriveable!
  • rbwdrivenrbwdriven Senior Wagonist

    got some welding and small stuff to finish up.

    I need to bring it in the garage and finish up the small stuff of a night time.

    CBE is talking about coming down saturday to help me play with it some more.

    then it is a go.

    I think it is me and the kids on Sunday.

    Might come see ya with the kids if you will be there.

    I never realized it until now, but you have a thing for anorexic wagons.
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    ??? uncontrolled weight loss?
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Well, I have the z6 shortblock built, waiting on the head. I have some issues:

    I got the rt oil pan from turbo_teg, but when I test fit it, the pickup hits the floor of the sump...?? Do i need to use the pickup from a d15b2/d16a6?

    What kind of header will fit? I don't mind modding one, I just don't even have a stock one to start with.

    Do 1988 rt4wd trannies use the same(smaller) clutch like the '88 2wds?
  • 3rd4ce3rd4ce Council Member
    Ok I read we need to use the rt oil tube...
    to work with the oil pan ...

    RagenAsian did the header mod ... Look n his thread for what header he used .. Sorry I'm on my Blackberry not much multitasking on it lmao ....

    As far as clutch stuff .... I know 88 is different and 89-91 is the same but not sure if its 2wd and 4wd specific .... Sorry .. Something to do with counting teeth n the spline ...
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Thanks, Chip.

    Yeah, I know about the spline thing, just wasn't sure if it applied to rt's. I see that the tranny from my '89 has the single groove on the pilot shaft, that's what got me thinking.
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    I'm still working on it! Big day at the junkyard today, I found a mostly complete '88 RT.

    Now this job is going in true bam style: I have 4 trannies, 3 shifters with cables, 2 sets of mounts, 3 half-shafts, 2 drivelines, 2 diffs, etc... I like spares.
  • DRMORTYDRMORTY Council Member
    Any Rare Goodies on it?
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    No pods, mirrors, underseat trays...
  • DRMORTYDRMORTY Council Member
    What color interior? only because I would love to do a 88 front seat belt conversion to my 91.. But has to be grey...

    what about? spare tire junk holder insert? Mud Flaps? rack? AWD wheels? Black Lugs?
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    No.None of those goodies and it's gold/brown.

    Speaking of RT wheels: Did '88s come with them? Seems like I see a lot of them with regular steelies.
  • DRMORTYDRMORTY Council Member
    did it have another drive shaft? I still got this one for you..
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Yes, it had the shaft, but I still need the spare. Swap you the auto RT trans. for it.
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Here's yesterday's haul in the back of TerminusVox' wag.

    525.jpg

    I got the transmission, shifter/cables, all the mounts and brackets. Intermediate shaft. Oil pan and dust shield. Full driveline. Speedo cable. Some DIN radio bezels. The full MPFI manifold with all sensors, throttle body, injectors, fuel line, the works. Complete engine harness, unmolested, including resistor box. Exhaust collector flanges.etc...

    I'll go back and get the pedal assembly and clutch cable, I ran up against closing time.
