I've been kind of at a stand still with my latest project so I figured I would go ahead and make my first build thread. The motor was blown due to a snapped timing belt when I received the car. Lucky for me I had a 2.7 block and a 2.5 head left over from previous builds sitting in my garage. I had also received a wiring harness and a lot of spare i parts from one of the motors I purchased. The car has passenger fender damage and clear coat is peeling off most of it. But the a/c is all there and supposedly works, also fresh tint, and six disc changer. So I ordered a upper and lower gasket set, water pump, and timing belt kit, and got to work.
Then I figured out I had to order a new one of these. Which was the first set back.
And today I figured out the machine shop forgot one of my intake gaskets
I know I can just put the motor in the car without the intake but its friggin hot outside and I don't really feel like putting the intake on inside the car. Then I tried putting on the fender that was thrown in with my bumper surroundings and realized that its a cabby fender. So I called the dealer for the one gasket and it should be here Wednesday. Then I'll put on the intake and stab the motor. Other than that I'm waiting for the first to come around. Then I'm purchasing a whalboro fuel pump, a new fpr, and some ebay (yes ebay) headers. I have a set of ellips and one of Lukes 12'' boxes that I need to get covered. I am also planning to save up and buy the Jom coilovers just to have a little fun with the car. I have more ideas for later but for now this is going to be a dd and I don't want to do too much just yet. I'll update in a few days.
