    Put a set of calipers to the blocks earlier today.

    This is the tii block:



    These are from the larger-bore s14 block:









    And this is from what appears to be the stock s14 block:





    Keep in mind that this was measured using a Harbor Freight set of calipers. All cylinders within close diameter to eachother...I think.




    The gearbox still didn't turn up.

    I spy quite a few Euro S50B32 parts and that pic where you ask about the mystery piston... the header set +1/2 is Euro S50B32 header set as the B32 has O2 sensor bungs compared the B30 that has the O2 sensors in the center section right before the CATs.

    If all that was Euro B30 parts I would be sending you a PM to work a deal. Kinda bummed but you scored with this haul.

    S14 parts, S14 parts.... wow!

    Damn man, none of your pictures have given away where this place is to a local have they?

    We've all seen what can happen when someone see's nice things in recognizable places on this forum.

    Hoping for the best as well, and get a damn lock on that container!

    So I ran by the parts pile today and noticed something strange.

    Things were jumbled around and the gearbox was missing. I didn't ask my buddy if anyone went into this container and grabbed something..I'll do that tomorrow. I'm hoping it was just moved to the shop.

    The container is not locked, but it is in a secure lot...but truckers come in and out all the time to load and unload containers. I'm trying to remain optimistic at this point.


    But I did managed to bring home the tackle box full of weber parts. Here are photos:
















    I know what most of this stuff is, but not all of it. Pretty neat. This is years worth of Weber parts. Cool.

    Yeah I really have no clue what it's from. But it looks like it accommodates two cams and looks vaguely BMW.

    Yep, I only found the NFG on the 413 red label ECU.

    I'd love to get a hold of him and ask him a few questions about some of these parts. I love a good history lesson.

    I have a CGT guy who is asking about buying it all in one fell swoop. Not sure what will come of this.

    damn I wish I had those carbon bits. I'd swing by work and hide them in the dirty room, scarf & bag a few plies onto them, smooth them out and call them good.
    I'd line my entire closet with Carbon Fibre.
