shop2
I changed to glass bead and it works great. In the pic you can see the old freezer I reengineered into a blast cabinet. Works great except I can't see much because of the dust.

Race motor break-in
Phred, Great advice for a race engine. If you don't mind me asking, what about a street engine, using stock factory parts? What kind of "break in" would you recommend?

need aluminum wheel
I do believe that is the "Five spoke aluminum mag wheel". I've seen them in different sizes. From 4 1/2 inches wide to 7 inches wide. Also some of them have four small holes in the center of the rim for the screw on cap. I got mine from: All Z Auto Wrecking, unfortunately for you they are in San Diego. But If you can't find anything around there you might want to give them a try. (619) 421-5881 their address is: 793 B&C Energy Way Chula Vista, CA 91911 Good Luck

Engine Rebuild Questions
A turbo charged L24. I'm sure someone here will point you in the right direction. But I'm thinking that with all the parts you will need to do this metamorphasis you might end up using the entire turbo engine. Good luck.

NorCal
Come on Carl, "Free Labor" how can you pass that up? I see, oil change, valve adj., tires rotated and didn't you need to change the gasket on your oil pan?

Engine Rebuild Questions
First you need to make up your mind on what your gonna do. FI, TURBO or N/A?? This way we could point you in the right direction as to what will work and what you need to get. So far the only thing we know is that you are going to stick with the L24 block. Let us know.

Hit and Run
Sorry to hear that. Your local police must be very busy. Sounds like they gave you the "brush-off". That and they are lacking in tactical verbal skills. "Thank-you very much Sir for bringing this to our attention, please fill out these forms and we will issue a citation to the offender for hit & run and reckless driving". It's no wonder why so many people take the law into their own hands. :tapemouth

Engine Rebuild Questions
If you are going to keep the L24 block and are going to replace the pistons. You should consider boring out the block as much as you can.

Bad leak, after accident... Can anyone recognize this piece?
Don't forget the firewall gromets if you replace the hoses.

Can I remove this
Kind of looks like a pump of some kind. You will have to see where the tubes & wires go to.
-
Another thing to remove
Don't remove that. The vapors from your block and the vapors from your fuel tank go to this valve and then go to your air cleaner to get burned off in the engine. There is an old post about this somewhere.

Can I remove this
I've never seen that. Where do the lines go?

What's My 240 Worth?
It all depends what you have done to the car. If you haven't done much besides change the oil and put gas in it then it's probably still worth about 3k. But if you have been busy replacing old bushings, hoses, brakes, engine rebuild, etc...(the list is pretty long). then the price will go up. Those cars you see for 15k have probably been through a complete restoration and have had a lot of work done. Hope this helps ED

Brake, Clutch & Gas pedal
That's what I thought about the clamp on kind. They might look nice but they are not practical. Screwing them to the pad would be the best bet. How about glueing rubber pads or naugahyde to the pedals?
