It looks like the compressor wheel retaining nut came off and was swallowed. You should find it embedded in the piston of one cylinder, the others should be ok. Pull the head off before you order parts, you may need less than you think. I think the worst you will need is one piston and maybe...

PM sent. This could be the game saving ball. No driveshaft mods! Plug-and-play, just how everybody likes it.

Understood, thanks. Can you take one more measurement? Seems industry goes from U joint bearing ear centerline to far end of spline. Reference pic below, measurement J (tap to zoom): I was was able to spin off the spline seal on mine and measure the spline. It is also 2.5" OD and 16...

So that's in case you are ever pulled over by Russian police? I want to see the Prius pull an M35a2. T-case swap should be helpful to lower rpm and increase speed if your engine can pull it.

Ha! Look at that! A pile of coolness. The 1710 joint ears measure about 6-1/8" outside-outside. If you have one of those for a 4" tube then let's talk. Unsure about the spline count, but also a very creative fix if possible. Could make the entire ordeal a bolt on affair. I'm willing to...

First test run was on the trailer when I brought it back from buying it in MS. You didn't miss it. I'm swapping the engine at my work, then towing it to my house for finalization. You can call it whatever you want. OK, I'll do some performance runs as a basis, but this is a stock config...

Don't open the door.

Here is the all stainless tank dip tubes he fabricated and are now available for purchase from Ted. They fit the stock tank threads. Recommend to do both, but just suction side is available also. Stainless elbow and tubes, TIG'd by Chris Razor, one of the worlds most reknown TIG welders and...

Hope to get the clutch pedal installed this week and a second test run of the engine on the pallet with accel pedal action after work. Have an off-road function to attend on Sunday, then should be able to do the swap hopefully the following weekend. Fingers crossed. Truck will need to be...

OK, did some measurements. The trans output yokes on the Allison and RoadRanger are different spline. They are also different U joint. The main propeller shaft is also different diameter than the axle drive shaft, 4" vs 3.5" respectfully, so I can't simply salvage parts from my removed front...

Ted did a really good job. The inside of his tank looked surgically clean when done. He's cleverly creative to have around for alternate ideas. Anybody that is able to change the tire on a 9 by digging under it stays on my friend list. :)

No, been doing it for nearly 5 years now on random Fridays. Lots of the usual thumbs up, horn beeps, waves, etc. Enter it in school "Trunk or Treat", etc.... Bummer to hear yours went the opposite.

All the female teachers, admins, and moms, of all ages, ask for rides in it.

Not if you drive fast enough.

Drove the kids to school in it.

+1 on above. Replace rubber lines on suction side of system, insure fuel filters are clean and seated correctly, and try again.

Clutch pedal is the one on the left. *wink*

Yep, EU fuel is expensive. This is where the stop-start strategy was born that I am working on at work for all vehicle classes in US. Thanks, understood, and almost agree on the engine. There are a lot of gains via EFI. I am documenting this for anybody else interested. I am seeing 300hp...

A-1 as always SD. Gunzy, you say you have replacement gaskets. If not generic sheet that you cut, what was your source? Thanks.

Hi Fatty, love the name. Use a 10mm end wrench to remove the two solenoid mounting bolts. Unplug the 3 wire connector, and remove the solenoid. Engine will start and run properly. Use emergency stop cable to shut off engine. Nothing needs to be reset on the a2 8.3L. Your batteries are weak...
