Copped this today. csb is completely blown, but I was gonna buy a new one anyway so no biggie. One step closer.

Poped my valve covers off to see how she looks.. She's a dirty girl, but the cams look good. Also, idk what happened, but my valve covers are destroyed. On the lookout for some new ones.

deadline for this build was mid october, but i got a little crazy lately with the moneys so i'm taking a short break in order to replenish my accounts. also, the reason for my deadline was so i could drive it to this bmx jam called "texas toast", rad fucking times have been had, but it has been cancelled this year, so no more deadline. i'll be happy if it's in the bay for good by my bday (nov. 6), but even happier if it's running.

dropped my pan off to have the pinhole welded up and i finished my brake system. flared, bolted and flushed. no leaks so far :up:

the brakes are something i have been completely dreading and i feel is a major milestone in any v8 build. so it feels pretty damn good to be finished with them(hopefully).

Dropped the hammer on some parts and I got my pan back!

Things are gonna move fast again for a second then probably slow down again, ha.

Did some work today. Oil pan is fully installed and I spent some time cleaning up the TB.





Can anybody tell me what this hose is for and how I take it off.

Sucker is stuck on there.

It looks like it might be a coolant port for cold weather cars. I haven't looked at mine, but judging by the internet, I have seen some that are capped off and others that are in use. Realoem doesn't reveal much.

Thanks man. Yeah I tried to look it up on realoem too, but got nothing. I'll keep looking around.

Made a new steering shaft today as well. duct tape is currently holding it together for mock up purposes only. Shits pretty sturdy tho.....

The hose on the throttle body is for the brake booster. There's a hard plastic hose that goes into it. It's just a metal nipple on the throttle body, the hose should just pull off, if not just slice it longways with a razor blade like you would with a stuck fuel hose.

getting really restless waiting for my parts to arrive. my manifolds should've been in the mail already and at my door by monday, but it seems like the person hasn't done shit yet! Thankfully i have a lead on cheaper/closer manifolds in the event my first ones havent been sent and ive been waiting all this time for nothing...
