xkruly87 i will follow you build when you start, also what is it like on insurance??? also can you do much to the 5pw to get more bhp? good luck on the builds

DynaJet power commander to alter the fueling ( or bazzaz like I am running). Ram air stacks maybe. No room for turbo/supercharger in in the promo kit unless you do a rear mount. I have not seen much online for internals but I'm sure there is something in existence somewhere. Insurance is purely dependent on the person.

i have found a kit to bore and stroke the 5pw to a 1.1L. you dont need ram air stacks when you run an open fitler set up.

I would be more likely to go to the engine maximum power, do not know much about motorcycles and engines gearboxs, I have a show I like loud noises and lots of grunt.

hello, good luck with the build make sure u make it detailed so we can see

p.s your not the only pro-motive pickup theres a couple lurking, possibly one near me too

[ZKruly87]

i will be following your build closely. mine has been put on hold until late next spring due to work. i will be away from both the mini and the engine for a while.

[Aceslow]

I think i am the only one in North America

The build will be pretty slow still as i need to get one more panel ordered and source an engine. But that will be hopefully completed before dec15

[crazirob]

Well I cut the sill off the driver side today... The PO had three seperate panels welded together and they were all over sills. I pulled two pounds of rusty panel and crud from inbetween each panel.

Ill post a pic tomorrow. As there is some funky panels in there that i need to know if they belong

[Aceslow]

I chopped both outer sill panels off too see how bad the rust was.


its pretty bad in some areas.

what is this panel???



I also drilled out 43 spot welds today to remove the heelboard. i need to jack the truck up to drill out the rest


How do I go about replacing the floor?
I am going to do one side at a time and cut half the crossmember out leaving the other half in until I am ready for the other side.
Do I do the heel board first or last?

finally got a lead on a engine today!!
