The 'BurbBarian' build thread.

Another update: so we won’t be finishing that Cummins build the kid became hostile with me after we suggested that it stays 2wd for a few months but we keep his current trans and transfercase connected while we build a trans crossmember and kept talking S—T behind my back to certain people so I just kinda gave up on him. I don’t need that kind of drama in my life. On another note that stupid Damn Saab is leaving my driveway this weekend. After putting about $600 in small parts and finding about $1,200 of work left to do I decided to just leave it at a junkyard. We lost the title anyway. I’m ordering upper and lower intake gaskets from MAHLE so I can suck up the gas prices and just get a damn job. I was getting tired of not driving my own vehicle after having my license for nearly a year and a half. If you guys have questions please ask or even advice. Until next time y’all stay safe.

In the middle of doing intake gaskets now. Soon to be on the road.

At least my injectors look ok. What a damn mess.

I had everything back together when I realized just how important one small rubber hose was. Have to take half of the top end back apart today and remove my distributor to replace it

Much needed update. Runs. Drives. And has gobs of power. I got it all back together today and took it for its maiden voyage. A local car/truck meet that happens every Friday night. It was awesome. It drove and ran beautifully, only minor issue is I have a terrible hot start where I crank it for about 10 seconds before it will fire, I know of the fix for it I just don’t have the money to fork over for new injectors and a fuel pressure regulator. I although have taken off the top end quite a bit in the last 7 days I don’t want the hassle of doing it myself so I’m going to take it to a shop for the injectors and pressure regulator replacement. But oh boy is it fast.

I have a question, does anyone know if the Fiveomotorsports replacement injectors are any good? I’d like to upgrade but time and money doesn’t allow for the. 0411 computer swap or the GTP 36pound per hour injectors Lawrence Lt was talking about on YouTube. I need to do headers and an exhaust. The. Eventually I’ll swap the cam and valve springs. If all else fails me with gasoline engines I’ll Cummins swap it. I don’t want the wiring hassle of a 24 valve and there’s already a full kit to swap a 12 valve in with the current 4L80-E I have but I’m not sure I like the 4l80 behind a Cummins.
