didnt look like a bad car....were there tires on it? doesnt seem it in some pics

 

Tires on what??? The red car or the blue one? Tires were flat on the blue one but I am going to keep the rims.

 

some of the pics in ur album...the red one seemed it was just resting on its rims

 

Probably due to the 50 series tires and the area I was snappin shots at. I went up to a 60 series in the rear but I'll likely go back to 50 series tires again.

 

ah ok gotcha

 

Well pistons and rods came in yesterday. Hopefully the block and crank will be going for work next week. Found a place that will clean, deck, and bore the block 20 over for $210 and balance the crank between $125 and $225.

I recieved the new 52MM tb with liquid filled fuel pressure guage and another set of injectors the other day as well. 3" exhoust will be shipped within the next month hopefully.

Pistons are wiseco forged 8.0:1 and the rods are stock rods shot peend, polished, and balanced. Reconditioned with ARP rod bolts. Rod bearings picked up today. Soon I will be ordering the head gasket set and the main bearings and hopefully next weekend I'll get to start putting it all together.

 

cant wai to hear how its oin...get some pics of the build-up

 

Once I get back from NY I'll be taking pics of the car as she sits right now. Engine bay and whatnot then I'll start teardown and taking pics of the build as it goes on. I guess I could take a few shots of the block before it goes for boring and whatnot.

 

awsome....sounds like it will be a handfull

 

Well new update:

Intake completely out of the car and exhaust removed. Next the head will be coming off and the radiator out so I can pull the block and get the flywheel off for balancing with the crank.
