I thought it was about time I made a build thread. I'm super close to being done with the swap. I have a list of small things to finish up but the majority of the work is done.
The car was a 24 hours of lemons race car and has probably 7 or 8 races under it's belt. I don't have time to do the series anymore but I still do 3-5 HPDE events a year and may also to a time attack class with SCCA with the car.
The car:
Engine coming out:
Cleaned up the ending bay:
When pushing hard on the brakes I could see the fire wall flexing, plus this spot was rusty so I welded in some reinforcement plates.
Front subframe reinforced with the garagistic pieces
Subframe back in with E36 rack, my DIY steering joing, and Chase bays BBE
Test fit of the block
Had the heads milled and rebuilt with TSP valves, dual valve springs, and also put in a 228R Cam, new oil pump and timing chain
This is about where I sit right now:
