The front pump bolts in my trans keep loosening up, I think the bolt holes that hold the front pump in are shot, so I decided to buy a MVB TH350 from my buddy Tonye, it was $400, it only had a couple dozen passes on it, and had a TCI MVB, and a deep cast aluminum pan, which I was planning on buying anyway, so that made it as if I was only paying about $150 to freshen up my old trans, plus it's got a lot of good parts in it,
I had to give up my borrowed "raceone85.com" carb, his other one started flooding suddenly, just as he's trying to get his car together. So now, I've taken it upon myself to modify my BG carb for E85 myself. I highly recommend raceone85.com , their carbs WORK, and their product support is FANTASTIC, I just can't squeeze the (bargain) price of their kit (and the free product support) into my budget at the moment. I've opened up my boosters, put some 45 squirters in it, opened up the IFRs, got close to the right jetting in it, I've got it where it idles and revs pretty good, and I can move it around, but the transition isn't very smooth, now I need to order some different size air bleeds, to replace the HSABs and IABs, as well as the emulsion orifices, and probably should go to a 50cc front accelerator pump.
