I'm a circle track racer I race a 1981 200sx. I'm not very good with a computer but I can drive. Last year I set the track record in Roseburg Oregon. This year they came out with some new rules to hurt my cars performance. The rule states that you must weigh 1 pound for every cc. Currently I have a 24z block with w53 peanut L18 head. It works out to be 2444cc. I'm looking for another combination that uses stock stuff due to the rules that is about 2300cc. any suggestions. I need about 200-230 horse.

I came accross your blog during a search on dog leg 5 spped for datsuns. I have 2 510s and one 240z. Many years ago I came across a 5 speed dogleg trans. I never noticed it is as long as a 280zx 5spd. I am planing to use it on my 240z but I have not been able to find any info on it. I have owned 5 spds out of 200sx with the dogleg. Never have seen a dog leg this long. It has the old round flange drive shaft coupler. Any Ideas of what I got?

Just wanted to inform you that I once again have changed my blog, which I'm sure you have noticed with the inactivity on my former blog, New Day Dawning. Hopefully, this will be permanent.
The blog is http://revolution.kingdomrising.org

hi josh, i just wanted to say hi and let you know i highly appreciate your site. i was browsing the something awful forums (which i do not have an account for) and followed the link to your site in the stick man thread. i thought they were funny. i clicked on the "horror of horrors" section and liked it, then i saw religion and was like "uhoh, whats he gotta say about this?" and i was completely impressed with your views. im working on reading all of your articles right now. theyre a breath of fresh air. so many of your views and insights are things ive been struggling to say for years. to put it as cheesily as i can: in a way we're almost kindred spirits. i love reading what you have to say, and enjoy the things im learning, and am feeling encouraged to learn more about. my relationship and understanding of God is becoming more 3d than it has in a long time (its a long learning process)

thanks for being so kick ass!

Hi! Just received your e-mail. I actually just installed your banned books badge yesterday, and I'd hoped to link to your site with it. However, since I'm new to this whole blogging/HTML thing, I couldn't figure out how. (Do I even need to use HTML to link to your site? I don't even know that much.) Frankly, I was just proud that I'd figured out how to get the wee image to show up on the page. Anyway, I'll take it down until I learn how to link.

Thanks for listing the Frankenstien specs. I might try an LZ24 in my Dime at some point.

On that subject, do you know where Ben Pila's info on Z22 block/Z24 crank modification could be found?

August 17, 2007


jovial_cynic said:
No problem. Keep in mind that the L24 is prone to cracks in the block near the head, so if you get one, you might want to have it pressure checked before you dump a lot of money into a build-up.

No - not familiar with Ben Pila's data. However, I've done the swap myself, so if you list your e-mail address in a reply, I can walk you through it.

I like Barack's stance on the war. I like him in terms of his global appeal versus McCain. Most other issues are a wash for me. The one thing, I want some clarification on is TAXES. Given recent events in the economy, I strongly believe the wealthiest Americans need to carry more of a tax burden. I assume Barack's plan will do this but wanted your take on it?

hi i got your message on my wild west star wars picture. thanks for the compliment, im happy when i find out people like my art

i found your site over a year ago when i found your thread on the something awful forums with the little metal men. i wanted to see more and you seemed like a pretty cool guy so i went to check out your site and i was really blown away with your religion section. ive gained a lot from it and i wanted others to hopefully stumble across it like i did, so i linked to you

and unless my memory is busted, i think i remember a sermon you had online that you had given, and i remember liking it. i was like "a something awful member... giving... a sermon??"

November 12, 2008


jovial_cynic said:
tom - I think we may have chatted about this before. This entire conversation sounds familiar. Didn't we add each other on myspace as a result of a prior conversation? Do you have another site where you've posted your drawings?

In any event - yeah. Your drawings are fantastic. I think that you manage to capture ideas in your drawings that are very close to how I'd see the ideas in my head. It really resonates with me.

Glad you like my religion/theology content. And I agree that it's pretty strange that somebody on SA would give a sermon. :)

Aaren said:
I dont know if you still check this or not but I needed some information for a project Im working on. I have an 1981 510 with a z20s.. I found a built z22 bottom end and I was curious as to what all I would need to make my head work on that block. The shortblock only comes with just a block and rotating assembly. I would have to reuse all of my timing/head stuff. Would I have to use a z22 timing chain? would my timing cover work? do you know of any problems I would run into? what head gasket should I use.. z20 or z22? Any input would be appreciated. I was going to just put a stock bottom back in but for the same price I can get a slight bump in cc's so I just wanted to see what it would take to do it.
Thanks

Hey Aaren -

Yeah, I check my contact page. :)

I sent you an e-mail about your datsun engine questions. In short, the Z20 and Z22 block are basically the same for your purposes. Just throw the Z20 head onto the Z22 block and scavenge whatever parts you need from the Z20 that are missing.

Hello i was just wondering the web and came across your page and had to ask you a couple questions.As of now i am building a 75 620 and am hell bent on doing the turbo deal,i dig the location of the turbo on your 510, BUT...because of the steering rod on the 620 this makes that quite difficult. Do you have any ideas where i could stick the turbo in a similar manor? i also have a 1972 510 that i relocated the firewall back about 10" in the middle and stuffed it with an L28 running about 12:1 compression with a fat cam and tons of port work it will step out in the 1/4 mile at about 14 flat at 5000 feet elevation. But i cant get traction in the ass, cant go any wider on the tires and there is no way I'm trading the independent rear end for a solid rear axle any ideas on that? thanks for your time....Dave
January 11, 2009


jovial_cynic said:
Hey Dave -

That article about the turbo 510 isn't mine -- that's a copy/paste job from 510-enthusiast Jason Gray's old site.

Regarding turbo and steering - I imagine you'll need an entirely custom exhaust that moves the turbo elsewhere in order to make it work.

Regarding your straight-6 dime, have you considered hunting around for a limited-slip differential?

It depends on a lot of things. I'm in school now, so my schedule is extremely busy, so I think I would only be able to take commissions over the summer months (april-august), though there are some quiet times here and there. I would also have to like the story, or at least support it, or think its quality, though I won't get involved with any projects that glorify/include pornography (though I know you're not that kind of dude. I just have little faith in the goons).

So if I like your story and have time, I would totally draw some pictures for you. Unless you need them soon, then I probably just couldn't do them. That's also a factor I suppose: deadline. But I'm just stating the obvious.

Hey, came across your site from the OT Yard Sale thread on the figurines. I was wondering if you could do a Datsun 240Z in metal about 6-9" long, and if so what the range of price on it would be.

Good luck on the 510, would have gotten one of those if the Z hadn't been available at an awesome price.

Francisco said:
Hello !
I have a cuestion:
In this formula, what is the 2.6?

Example, stock L20B = (45.2cc + 11.36cc + 7.0cc +2.6cc + 488.0cc) / (45.2cc + 11.36cc + 7.0cc +2.6cc)= 8.4:1

plase let me know you email thank you very much.

February 12, 2009


jovial_cynic said:
Francisco - that would be the chamber volume created by or occupied by the piston due to non zero deck height at TDC cylinder. The piston sits .45mm below the deck, and it creates 2.6cc in chamber volume.
February 12, 2009


Francisco said:
jovial, thank you very much, now I can ajust my compression ratio on my L20b, what you think adjust my compression ratio at 10.72:1?
Thank you very much !

February 13, 2009


jovial_cynic said:
Francisco -

At a CR of 10:72:1, you're going to have to worry about the kind of fuel you are using. You'll need the higher octane fuel.

What are your plans with the engine? Are you building a racer or a daily driver?

February 13, 2009

Well, you've already done more than I've ever done with an engine. I've never modified the head or gotten my hands on flat-top pistons.

If I had your email i would forward you the newsletter I just received from Black Lake Organic. After reading it, it's just announcing their chicken feed, but I always like to promote things I like, so I thought I would pass it along. Not that I can say I like their feed....


NUTRITION ALERT---NUTRITION ALERT---NUTRITION ALERT

CHICKEN FEED HAS ARRIVED

You asked for it- Finally, one ton of the Black Lake Organic Soy-Free Natural Layer Pellets in 50lb bags has just arrived. Hey, chickens need good nutrition too, the better they eat, the better you eat! This special formulation developed by chicken expert Bobby Johnson, is now on sale at $24 per bag. Come get some for your flock!

Superior Feed Blend- As previously reported, this is a special custom blend of non-GMO and non-spray grains with extra protein components and the essential amino acid methionine, which is required in poultry nutrition. Ingredients include wheat, oats, barley, green peas, fish meal, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, yeast, limestone powder and calcium phosphate, plus salt and vitamins, and they’re all human food grade. According to Bobby, there are a number of “organic” chicken feeds available in the area, but none of equal quality to this blend. Look again at the natural, nutritious ingredients.

Northwest Regional Source- Our special custom blend is milled by Union Point Custom Feeds in Oregon, a small mom and pop business. Mom is a certified nutritionist, and Pop reportedly can talk turkey!

How To Get It- This quality, pelleted chicken feed blend is available during regular hours (9 to 6 everyday, except Mondays) from Black Lake Organic Nursery and Garden Store at 4711 Black Lake Blvd, just 3 miles south of Highway 101, on the lake. Come get some and stock up. As a special favor, we are asking that you notify all your chicken raising friends to come get our custom feed so we can sell it down quickly and satisfy as many local chickens as possible. If you have questions, please call us at (360)786-0537.

Chicken Books- For those needing to learn the ins and outs of chicken raising, BLO still has a few copies of two books on the subject:

1. Storey’s Guide to Raising Chickens, and

2. Backyard Poultry Naturally, by Alanna Moore.

These, too, come recommended by Chicken Man Bobby Johnson, who refuses to say which is the better book. Guess you’ll have to read both of them if you want to be smarter than a dumb cluck.

Great data! Thanks for posting it. Hope you don't mind if I add some of it to my blog, with attribution of course. I'm building a 2.1L longrod, was doing some research, and found your stuff. I'm using a L20b block (+3MM), L20b crank, Z20e rods, Z22e pistons (+1mm), a V912 head at 41cc, 88.5x1.5 comp gasket. I'm trying to figure the CR but can't find good data on the piston top volume and I don't know if these pistons are "early or late?" Any help availble? Thanks

Hey,
I was reading the article about the Dodge Caravan transmission. Our van has started kicking down with a clunking sound at about 25 mph when we are slowing. Is that kind of what yours was doing? And did that sensor fix the problem? We have not had any problems with cruise or speedometer, and it just started a couple of days ago. Is this the start of the sensor going bad? Thanks for any help you can give.
John F.

November 02, 2009


jovial_cynic said:
John -

You are referring to this post.

Yeah - that kicking down with a clunking sound is precisely it, and that would be caused by the INPUT sensor. It's the OUTPUT sensor that would impact the cruise/speedometer.

outside.As I finished and opened the doors to head outside there appeared to be a lot of steam coming from radiator.I popped the hood to inspect if there was a leak.I twisted the throttle linkage to rev it up and it sputtered as the RPM's rose.I went in the van and revved it up with foot feed and it did same.Is there a rev limiter in neutral as well as at high speeds.I put in gear and drove on ice,revved and no sputtering.Any one else notice neutral rev limiter?

So i read through your turbo 510 page and figured meybe you might have an answer for me...

I have a 71 510 with a l16, dual carbs attempting to do a blow through setup...

Got everything hooked up and figured out and finally it came time to start it, idled fine but in nuetral if you rev it up it stumbles when it comes back down to an idle sometimes dieing sometimes not. Now when i tried to drive it as soon as i give it gas and try letting the clutch out it will rev up for a second or two and then just want to die.

I know the basics about this stuff but have no ideas here. hoping its something dumb and easy that i overlooked

If you could email me id really appreciate it! thanks

Hi Jovial,

My friend is a huge Pearl Jam fan and is turning 40. I was looking at the Ten figurine and was wondering can you weld that on to a beer tap? It would be awesome to have a one and only unique tap to give him for his birthday.

Thanks

How do I change the tranny filter on a 97 dodge grand caravan with a 3.0 engine? I would like to do this myself. It has been years since I have done car repairs. Never on a front wheel drive. I am unsure if all I need to do is drop the pan or if it is more complicated. I have difficulty getting under the car so I would like to have all I will need before hand. Should I replace the pump while I'm at it?

Hi, I have a 2004 caravan with two problems. First is the shifting from reverse to drive. Once in a while when shifting it will not engage. If I shift back to park, sit for a few seconds then shift to drive, all is fine. Any thoughts?
Second more concerning problem is lately between 25 and 40 mph, it feels as though I'm driving on a wash-board section of pavement. Shifting appears ok, no hesitations. At first I thought tires but it is very consistant with speed on any road. Thanks, for any suggestions.

Hi,
I liked your step-by-step information on replacing your dodge caravan sensors and have a question for you about my 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan.

I needed some Tranny fluid, because i felt sutle slippage in slow acceleration so I put some in (ATF+4) and it started making a knocking sound, now its empty: leaked it out. Some transmission fluid was on the ground (front drivers side)after I moved it to a level area, to recheck the fluid level. Do you know why it would be leaking now? I just bought it in the end of September (2011), and this is the first time I put some transmission fluid in it. did I put in the wrong stuff? Cheveron ATF+4 (non-synthetic I think). Any advise or suggestions would be helpful, thanks, Cheryl

Cheryl -

Leaking tranny fluid is no good. There's a number of reasons - you could have a cracked case, a bad seal, a loose drain bolt, etc. If you just threw some ATF fluid in because it was slipping, you may have overfilled the tranny case, which could cause your seals to literally blow out due to the pressure.

You need to have it taken to a shop, unfortunately.

Hey Jovial Cynic,

I'm writing a free blog for the nonprofit community and I'd like to use the photograph on your blog of metal being forged in fire for an upcoming topic about core values. May I use it?

The blog is at http://rumohrandclarke.wordpress.com/ and we're just getting it started.

Hey Jason,

I haven't talked to you in a long while - how have things been? I have a KA/DE question for you.
I am wondering if I could destroke a KA24DE using my fully balanced LZ2.2 crank. I would like to know if you have already thought about the possibility, and if so, what is the correct rod & piston combination to use to do so. What would the rod/stroke ratio be, and what would that compression end up being? AND - are is there more than one way to accomplish a destroked engine using my LZ 2.2 crank?

Thanks for your help with thoughts,
Keith

Thank you for taking the time to photograph and document the transmission repair of your Dodge van. My wife's 2006 Chrysler Town and Country was shifting poorly and dislying several codes. I found your website through a Google search.I purchased a transmission solenoid module the next day.Thanks to your imformative instrucions and guidance I replaced the module and the minivan's transmission now operates flawlessly !! Thank you again.

I just stumbled onto this website. It's great!
Question: 1997 Grand Caravan Sport (3.3L) is heading to salvage (blown head, 296K). but it has a rebuilt tranny with about 75K.
I replaced this van with 2000 Grand Caravan(3.8L, 153K). Are the trannies compatable (1997-2000; 3.3L-3.8L)? Should I have the tranny removed from the 1997 before it goes to the junk yard and store it as back-up for the 2000? will cost some $, but maybe save some $ in the future?. Also, any maintenance suggestions for the 2000? Thanks, JIM
