Man, it's been a while since I've been on here, I've kinda missed all of you. Been a bit busy lately, opened up a business building and rebuilding engines, and doing some engine related repair work. Pretty good money. Today I started tearing out a 4 banger out of a 91 ford ranger. Man I tell ya, when ford does something they really don't think about us at home/ small shop mechanics do they? Wow, I about but a bullet through the whole damn thing. Don't know how often I'll be on here, but I'll try to check in more often than I have been. And if anyone's in the Jacksonville, FL area and needs some motor work, rebuild, or want a custom built engine done, just give me a holla, I'll beat any ones, and I do mean anyones price. Later yall.

hey 1992RS- i might have some business for you! i know a guy in jacksonville who is gonna be essentially restoring a 1976 1/2 (im pretty sure that's the year) porsche 924 and it'll almost definitly need some motor work. anyway, i told him about you and he was wondering if you had done any work on porsche engines before...... he's kinda anal about who works on his car.

Well, as far as porsches go, I think he should take it someone who specializes in them. I don't think I have enough patients for that job..sorry dude.

Hey there paying me to get all greasy. What can I say...LOL Well I can take any motor apart and put it back together again, but I can't afford the tools for some of them high cars. Plus I'm sure I'd have the deer in the headlights look while I'm trying to dismember, I mean dismantle the motor. LOL

them crazy germans and their engines that are all, flat-like...

1992RS · 02-24-2004, 08:27 PM

Tell me about it.What do they call it? A pancake 4? or something to that effect.

PowerCrazy · 02-24-2004, 10:15 PM

well the 924 is a more-less standard inline four, along with the 944 which is a beafed up 924 driveline with a slightly different tranny but same basic engine but a little tuned. the 968 also ran an inline 4 but that was highly tuned compared to the 924 and 944. what you guys were talking about with the pancake 4 comment is actually refered to as a flat 4 and it was used in the 914 and 912 and also i believe in the 356. the 914/6 and in the 911 and other such models derived from the 911 had a flat 6 which is basically just two more cylinders on a flat 4. but then again porsche also had had the 4.8L (i think that was the displacement) v8 that was in the 928 that hauled ass.

- i guess that's the porsche lesson for the day

(I feel akward posting this in a camaro forum)

Holly shit dude, I think that's more than I ever wanted to know about porshe..LOL Now I deffinatly don't want to work on one.

1992RS · 03-12-2004, 02:00 PM

Well yall, still looking for some more engines to perform surgery on. business is going pretty ok. Just finished up a job a couple days ago. Mostly just stock rebuilds. I want a custom job. Some one needs to send me a tired 350 that needs a lot of love. LOL I did however just finish a 400+hp 305, 335 stroker for those of you who get offended by me calling it a 305. It's amazing. This one is carbed, stuck a holley 700 vacum advance on top of an edelbrock performer rpm. she purrs.

I need more like that. 4 cylinders are boring. Oh well. Just thought I'd check in on you guys and make sure your not starting any trouble. LOL
