    Yep, I would love to be able to help in any way I can, we may need to have an EFI tuning chatbox session with GunMetalGrey and anyone else who wants to chime in. If Muffins pops in and starts talking carbs then I dont know what we will do.

                    Made that, start of a dyno.

                        Have you figured out what you are going to use to load the dyno?

                          Thanks! Have to give credit to one of my friends, you may know him. He was with me at the last meet I was at, he really knows how to run all of our metalworking equipment!

                          We are working on that yet, may just end up with a DC motor for load, or an exercise bike flywheel.

                            Super stoked about that, now to work on the ms3-ms3x harness.

                              Have you found the basic settings online for things like cranking rpm and cranking pulse width? If not I can get you started with what I have,

                                      Well, as it turns out DIYautotune sent wrong parts in the kit, sucks because it was due to their supplier.

                                      Long story short it gives me a constant low voltage error, so now I need to get the right components from them and take it apart again! Yay!

                                        question. I have everything for my megasquirt setup, but all I really have to do is setup the ignition, and wire it to the connector. Could i pay you to do that?

                                          So, I don't update this thread often enough.

                                          I got my oil pan, and got the 12an return welded to it. Local shop did it all for 30 bucks!

                                          IMAG1758zps7b295a2e.jpg

                                          So I worked on some body work in the meantime, having ordered almost everything I need to drop the engine in.

                                          remember those pieces I was working on? Well they got trimmed up and I worked on welding one it today

                                          IMAG1761zps846d0de3.jpg

                                          added a bit of JB weld to the side that is normally spot welded to hold it in place for easy welding. Starting tacking it on, now mind you I am using a 90 dollar harbor freight special flux core welder.

                                          IMAG1763zps23ed0c91.jpg

                                          Got a bit hot in a few areas and went through, not a biggie, turn down the wire speed a bit and carry on.

                                          IMAG1765zps8b83349c.jpg

                                          Got the wholes patched up and lots of tacks in (especially for a non structural piece)

                                          Then grabbed the die grinder and started working the welds down a bit

                                          IMAG1767zpse7dc78d7.jpg

                                          Looks so gross this whole time, but then you take some sandpaper....

                                          IMAG1768zpsa72809ed.jpg

                                          And make it look decent! Needs more sanding to rough it up again, and to feather out the surrounding paint and then start taking the body putty too it. Pretty happy with how it is turning out (especially for one of the first times doing this)

                                          Tomorrows challenge is staring at me... and this one will be very visible from the outside of the car.
