    Getting more and more interested in adding turbo to 1008

    the stock line didnt have one, i used the stock like and some 1/8 pipe fittings off of the oil pressure sender to get it to reach. if you buy one and it has it you should be able to just drill it out, i had to with my rx7.

    Getting more and more interested in adding turbo to 1008

    i didnt have any issues with it fitting, i used 2 exhaust mani gaskets to space the manifold out from the blok to clear the injectors. I LOVE THE TURBO. just wait till you get it on and running good.

    Dual filter head mounting location

    When I first got my CUCV my filter block was cracked so I replaced it with the Mueller one from walmart because I was cheap. DO NOT USE THIS FILTER/FILTERHEAD It worked OK... but it is for a boat so the only place you can get replacement filters from is a boat store, they are pricey, small, and...

He was looking for a trade, i called and told him I'd give him cash for it and what was his lowest...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    i added some new wheels and tires. Firestone discoverer MT's in a 33x12.5x15. No idea on rim size, backspacing or width. The fronts poke out some and the rears are just tucked in a bit. The stock studs weren't long enough so i had to find longer ones. I used ARP 100-7706 studs for the front...
