Update: Need a flexplate and water pump pully

[moparfwdsleeper]

is it a manual or automatic flex plate your needing?

[whistlin']

I could see the dipstick in the picture so I'd guess automatic.
Paradox, if you can't find one let me know I have several.

[Entity]

looking good i must say.

wow, 9months and still not running, I suck! but since those last images were taken, not too much has changed, I got kicked out from my house, I'm 17 with 2 years left of school, I don't have a job because I have no transportation. Then on the 8th of last month I flew to Nevada to my older brother Jacobs funeral. This trip cost me $1400 that I made selling my computer. He was shot in the head point blank at a truck stop in Kansas.

I dropped the tank, drained and removed the pump and sending unit.... and both are shot. I must say, I've never wanted a car to run as bad as I want this one to. I took the pump apart, and the impeller was stuck (chunky stale gas, sitting about... 6 years) and at some point I lost a part. It was 43F out all day, and 30F tonight, so I decided to head in and take a break. Also, why do these pumps cost so damn much! $110 for a electric moter and a little impeller don't add up to $110 in my book.

But yeah, engine is almost back together, I got some new hose and metal braid and I braided the turbo water return/feed and the oil return/feed lines. looks sharp to me.

[Paradox]

head on, turbo lines ran. Almost ready to fire up.

[moparfwdsleeper]

youll get it going... it took me about 2years and 4? cars later to get mine done

[Paradox]

hehe, thanks.

Anyone know how to affix that power steering pump to the engine? I can't seem to figure it out... it has another bracket besides that one in the image.. but I dunno..

You mean duct tape doesn't work here?! You could JB Weld it....then again all the grease would kind of prevent that from working so well.

I know..ZIP TIES!!!!

Sorry, couldn't resist!!

There are I think 2, possibly 3 different styles of PS brakets over the years. I dunno which one you have, so its hard to tell. Got some better pics of it?
