Your moms aunt Flo's 411


Recommended Posts

Yeah,, i found them at a junkyard for $37.50 a piece ,, was looking for some 7-8 inch wide slot mags and just happened across a whole set.  :thumbup:

 

The problem is my there's another guy local to me running mesh wheels on his 411 and don't wanna cruise around like twins or something.

It's not that much but the size difference magnifies the rear droop something fierce .

 

This is a 185/60/13 snow ( i assume tread is taller than normal road tire) to show size is about the same.

I got these a few weeks ago and might run them with 195/6014s on all 4  if worst comes to worst

That snow tire is pre drilled for Titanium studs !  They work very well !  Most states have outlawed the studs by now, they really chew up the pavement if you are in  a situation where you really need them [but you get home].  Had a pair on the rears of my RL411 in Montana.  Really needed them and they came through.  Moved to California and ended up giving them away.

The radiator is smaller pl411,,  and engine has larger front pulley to damper some of the shake stroked R16 has ,,,, and because of this the OG fan has been cut down to fit .....   So i added a licktrick fan.  Space is tighter at bottom so had to notch middle support 
 
 
  only oics i got

  Bumper was put on Thursday night because i was going to drive it to Portland today..  Unfortunately there was a couple things that i couldn't get to,  so i drove aunt Flo today..

     If i take it off to re-install foglights i will take some for you  :thumbup:

 

 

Ted has a video of our spirited drive down Skyline dr in Portland after meet,,  but not sure where he's putting it ,, and if on Faceplant i won't be able to steal it to add to this mess.

We then went on Skyline drive cruise on our way over to PIR as we had to deliver a couple things to someone working tech inspection for the SCCA ROAD RACING SUPER TOUR << copy and pasted for the fuckin win 
 
And parked next slinky little thing  :wub:

I honestly didn't think i would find any more than the one i had,,, since I even stumped Rapid Rod  When i asked if he could get me some last November at Eaglerock .. Although i might have been a little hard to follow due to lack of sleep,,,, and what-not

Wayno's adapter plate needs a little bit of massaging to get exhaust thru to back.. Took a grinder and a die grinder and fucked some shit up... 

should be able to fit exhaust easily  now.   My neighbor Juan-Ear already put a Waynoplate in his 411 so knew how much needed to be ground off.

Starter has been clocked down so far the inside of tranny starter hole needs some whittling also

Well that is weird, maybe your distributor is different as JJs starter/distributor were hitting each other until he did some grinding, them plates were made exactly the same.

What front case did you use?

 

We both used L bell housings on 85-86 720 short trannys 

 

Got it buttoned up Friday night and drove up to All Japanese Classic in Vancouver BC on Saturday -Sunday..

Yes everything worked great ,,  

 

The one thing i'm probably going to change is,, 

When i remove to change engine ( didn't want to risk untested engine on that kind of maiden voyage)  i am going to make the unused bump above where the exhaust is cut out,,,,  into a taller bump with hole and tap transmission to install bolt from front of plate...  to make exhaust bolt up way easier..  

  as it is now,,  the top exhaust nut is almost impossible to get at,, So that would eliminate the bolt directly on top of exhaust,,  but still retain ( i think) most of the strength ..  on original engine ,, bump was a locating pin i believe 

 

maybe

There are 2 bumps, the one above and another one below if you didn't grind it off, you could likely delete the one near the exhaust if you drilled and tapped them or just drilled a hole all the way thru and used a bolt/nut/lock washer.

Keep in mind here we are talking about a J13, but that is the only bolt on that side, I cut the upper exhaust stud a little shorter myself, but that is on an engine on a stand, not in a vehicle.

Personally I know it is a pain but I would only have to tighten that mount bolt near the exhaust and the exhaust nut once so I would deal with it and not delete it.

I tried to make a plate that didn't require a bunch of mods or changing things, it's kinda weird that Vons plate didn't require the inside of the transmission case to be ground on to clear the starter and yours did require grinding, maybe all the J13 blocks are not the same.

Is your distributor different than Vons?
