Also while i was under the hood i fixed the oil leak (i think) the drainseemed to be leaking a bit where it comes out of the turbo

i removed the housing because i couldn't get a wrench down there..

Yes and no, bought a few things but haven't made any real progress.

i picked up an 80e about three weeks ago on ebay for $725 came out of a 1995 diesel van. only thing i've done is cleaned up the outer case.

plans are to pull pan off, change filter and just give it a visual inspection for now.

waiting on some funds to get a new torque converter, will probably end up with another Yank.

Also purchased HP tuners so that has been keeping me busy for the past week.


Holley LS fest is coming up fast Sept. 6,7,8. Hoping to have this ready for that. I need to upgrade the rear end and i should be about set.
