"New" issf refugee

Jayoldschool finally convinced me to sign up here. It seems all the wagon regulars have transitioned here anyways.

I currently live in Ottawa, ON. I've got 2 Roadmaster wagons:

1995 Black WB4 with red cloth. 183000 km.
383 stroker, LE2 heads/intake with a 228/235 .560/.560 109 LSA cam on comp pro-magnum rockers.
36pph injectors, pcmperformance 91 oct tune
58mm AS&M TB w/ SSRI type intake
Vigilante 2800, 3.73 gears, eaton posi and 3.5" aluminium driveshaft.
Hotchkis springs with airlift 1000 bags in the back
bilstein shocks
Hellwig front and massive 1.5" rear swaybars, UMI LCAs
coated 409SS tri-y headers, pypes X-pipe, dynomax ultraflo SS mufflers.
OZ Nova wheels. Correct 5x5 bolt pattern, 10" wide rears w/ 275/40R18, 8" wide fronts with 245/45R18.

Every front end piece has been replaced, and I replaced all the lower body bushings with the pink/green "Mueller" bushings since I had a stash lying around. This winter, it will get finalized. I have a cpt lvl3 trans waiting to go in which will require a slight tweak to the tune, I need to get wagon OTA pipes with the 24225/24226 resonators and it will be finished. I also just got a street trends dominator/slp hood, which I'm hoping will look sharp with a RMW waterfall grille. Since the hood will need to be painted, I'll address a few flaws in the body at that time.

1994 DCM Woody. 120000km. Daily beater wagon.
crane 104227 cam, LE2 heads with comp 987 springs (yeah, a bit outdated). Scorpion NSA 1.6rr.
30pph inectors, pcmperformance 91 oct tune
52mm TPIS tb
yank 3200, 3.42 gears and eaton posi.
vogtland springs in the frong, MOOG CC505 in the back
bilstein shocks
Hellwig front bar, Hotchkis rear, spohn upper and lower control arms.
coated 304SS tri-y headers, dynomax intermediate pipes, 17449 mufflers and CIA OTA pipes.

I bought this one as a winter beater for $900. It had just received a rebuilt trans and brand new opti. I figured I'd use up some of my spare parts on it and drive it around during the winter. I decided to cam it when I saw I had to address an oil leak from the front timing cover area and knew I had to pull the opti to fix that stupid WP seal as it had been improperly seated. I did a whole front end rebuild, with control arm bushings. It hadn't been undercoated like the black one, so that involved a LOT of swearing and throwing of tools.

I hope to attend wagonfest this year if my schedule allows. It looks like a lot of fun.

Hey Jason

Welcome! Glad oldschool talked you into coming over. You will probably recognize many of us here. Good guys and good info.


Tom C.

Welcome aboard! And welcome to the "other" forum.

Oh geez! You're HERE now, too???????? lol

Welcome and looking forward to pics!

Hi Jason,

Got your PM,looks like I will need those manifolds.

good to see you here, Lorne.

Cool, another Black WB4 with OZ Novas. Welcome to The GM Longroof forum.

Hello, Jason. Welcome to the spinoff forum.

Hi Jason. Glad to see you finally came to your senses and joined "The Real" wagon forum.

Bill

Welcome to the forum, I have only been here a short while but the board seems to be getting more active (even without that post whore 81X11 )

Haaaaaa-ha.

Welcome Jason Glad you are here!! Bring the PICS!!

welcome to the other side we are picture sluts here so get busy and post some up!

Oh great ANOTHER wagon with OZ rims.......I'm jealous

The WB4 is in storage for the time being. I haven't taken pictures with the OZ wheels and haven't received the slp/dominator hood yet.
Here are pictures of when I bought it.

The underside isn't as nice as some of the other guys on the forum, but at least it was rustproofed.

Don't worry, it`s days of seeing salt are over.













yeah, the inside is a bit worn at 183k km (115k mi). I'll do a search for the correct SEM dye for 95 red.

Now the fun starts.




block I bought from MadMav. He had a blower cam in it but was running NA. I took it out and got a LE spec'ed cam.




LE2 heads. I can't believe I found a guy someone local in Saskatchewan who was selling a set of LE2s...


What EGR ?


With the zero-decked block and milled heads, even the LE ported intake didn't fit perfectly onto the LE2 heads. It required more permatex than I would have hoped.


Out with the old...



Chromex coated 409SS tri-ys. Purchased from Dwayne. Please don't tell him they are touching LE heads...




This pic clearly shows why headers fix the dreaded broken rear manifold bolt problem.



AS&M 58mm TB. If you're taking the time to put in a stroker, might as well get a new opti and guaranteed-for-life water pump. I was stupid and left the old opti vent harness. I have since bought a new one but will only install it when this one craps the bed.






the gen 1 hotchkis bar has since been replaced with the huge 1.5" bar Navy Lifer was selling a while back.

that's all the photos I have for now. I might have some on the laptop. You'll have to wait until spring to see some nice exterior shots.

AWESOME pics. Man that rear sway bar is HUGE!!

And one of these days I'll get down there to pick it up for him.

Bill

Welcome to the forum!!!!

Looks like I need to drop off my wore out block at your house.......

Jason,

What can I say...... It is about time!!!!!

Welcome hope to meet you finally at wagonfest!!

Tim

Wow!

Also, if you do find the correct SEM code for Ruby Red...can you share? I am looking for that too...

wow this forum is great. I stumbled on the Ruby Red GM code 79I = SEM 4791 in less than a minute. Thanks Tom, I had been looking for that for a long time.

Told ya you would like it here...

Okay how about the dark TBI red SEM color? plz share where you found the RUby red one.

thanks!!

^ What he said! I have a Blazer console just waiting to go in. I'd LOVE to do it before Daytona. (Maybe even find a good seat too... I'm hitting the yard over Spring Break!)

I got it from a post in the interior section. Tom suggested calling Mark at VinylPro (1-800-750-7939) for the TBI red.

thanks will do

As will I. I forgot about it when that topic was posted. LOL
