Saw Suicide Squad tonight. I went in with no hyped up expectations and also not being a huge follower of comic books or even comic book movies and thought it was decent. Fun popcorn movie anyway. Margot Robbie as Harley Quin though ticked all the right boxes.  Paging Cat Terrist to tell me how bad it really is.  Re: Olympics -- One of the programs on NPR had an interview with one of the long-distance swimmers wherein she mentioned she was loading up on pro- and antibiotics to deal with swimming in the disease infested Rio waters. I think I just said "Nope nope nope nope nope" the entire time I was listening.

An iron block 4.8 with a stock bottom end that was pulled out of a junkyard with well over 100k miles took 60+ dyno pulls under varying amounts of boost, all the way up to 26psi in a hot rod magazine test. They couldn't push it higher due to spark issues. The only difference between the 4.8 and the 5.3 is the crank has a different stroke. If you do get an iron block 5.3, get a set of 799 casting heads off of an l33 motor for a cheap head upgrade, with an ls1 intake and a good cam before boosting it. Edit: Also, if you go for an iron block 5.3, preferably get one from after 03 when they fixed the piston slap issue that some 5.3s suffered from.

the spyder posted:Which one can handle the most boost? Because I happen to have this BW 366 turbo siting around...... Pretty much all of them. Denmah tends to use 6.0 motors 'cause why not, but Hotrod (I think) built up a 5.3 to 4-digit horsepower, and it turns out it was actually a 4.8 with nothing done to it since it came out of the junkyard. So, really, whatever you can get your hands on, but I'd imagine a bigger cube motor would make a bit more power. Elmnt80 posted:Any junkyard should have shitloads available. Not here on the west coast. Anytime an LS/LM/LQ truck hits the pick n pull around here, the motor is pulled within minutes to hours. I have an email alert through row52, and twice now I've rushed to the yard and by the time I get there the motor is already in the air with a crew of guys pulling it.

I'm going to take this as us saying the ls truck motors are good options, just don't combine nos with dat turbuh. E: god drat, go back and reread those numbers they were getting with that setup before they slapped the turbos on. This does nothing to kill my perverted desire to own a 4.8/5.3 swapped 3rd gen camaro or firbirb. Elmnt80 fucked around with this message at 07:22 on Aug 6, 2016 |

The sad thing is, I could get all the major components except the trans and most of the odds and ends for under 5 grand thanks to work. I've got a regular who is into 3rd gens who has told me about a few shells for under 500 and I could get a full running drop out of any gm truck motor I wanted for dirt cheap from a couple of junkyards we're really friendly with. The only sticking point is the transmission. T-56s are spendy and T-5s won't meet up with the power requirements. And I don't want to run a 4l60/65/70 for some reason that basicly amounts to "but I want a stick in it!" despite having a boss and another co-worker that could show me how to rebuild them with their eyes closed.

I wonder more and more if a lot of the criticisms of comic book movies are due to the limitations of the medium of a ~two hour film and directors getting more and more ambitious with the stories they want to try to tell in that time frame.

Marvel seems to manage it and to be honest, it wouldnt have taken that much different to make Batman v Superman work - to me it seemed to have been butchered in post production. It's just more I think Marvel and of all people Ryan Reynolds with Deadpool have it figured out how to make CBM's work.

Oh, they'll take it and make power. Until they dont. Most of them are high compression motors, and they really don't want any more than 6-8psi if you want it to live longer than a zika baby.

Is anyone doing anything for the Historics Week at Monterey? I'll be around a few of the days, and given I lived in the area for a decade, I know some seriously awesome (and empty!) roads we could do a drive/ride on. Please post in the AI FB group, ask someone in #ai, or send me an email to djcommie gmail. I'll probably have my newly recommissioned 323 Wagon but may have a Porsche 968 if I can wrangle it.

Stayed up way too late last night (well, this morning really), but no big deal since I have nothing to do today so could sleep in. Well, I should have been able to sleep in. Stupid missionary/witness's or whatever pounding on my door way too loving early (I guess they need to get their proselytizing in before it gets too hot) waking me up. I don't care what your stupid religion is, waking me up on a Saturday morning after only 4 hours of sleep isn't going to get me to buy into whatever your particular cult is, and is going to get me to yell at you to get the gently caress off of my property and stop knocking on my door and ringing my doorbell (because knocking once, or even twice, is clearly not enough to make sure nobody is home or is going to answer the door. Fucktards). In all seriousness, what makes anyone think that ringing the doorbell AND then knocking loudly, and then a few minutes later doing it again, and when that doesn't work, repeating it a third loving time is going to have any result other than getting whoever is in the house loving pissed off?

Thats when you open the door half naked and start screaming in latin at them. But I'd still trade you. Finally fell asleep a bit after 6 am, only to be woken at 8 by a phone call saying I needed to come in and unlock the store because our opening manager was late. He arrived about 5 minutes after I got there. Fell back asleep about 9, only to wake up an hour later for my actual shift. And we have 0 customers due to the rain with no signs of it letting up. And I'm here for 11 hours today. I should have stuck to loving driving, I made the same amount of money.

My postman writes the 'they weren't home' slip at the office with someone else's handwriting and then despite me being home all day marks it as undeliverable since no one answered the door. Oddly these are the same days absolutely no mail, junk or otherwise shows up.
