Well got a good chunk of work done on the new motor today. That's all for now, will work on it a little bit more tomorrow :)

Fresh from the machine shop -



Sprayed the block with high-temp engine shenanigans -



Got the bottom end all buttoned up -





Put the head/headers on -

[Cronopoulos]

I hope you get it up and running soon! Sounds like its going to be fun when you get it done.

Thanks man, hopefully it will be. Putting together the motor this weekend, waiting on my headers, ecu, clutch and a few more goodies and it's go time.

Love your car.

That last pic took me awhile to realize that was your finger. haha

LOL, yeah... Obligatory with every motor pull. Thanks for the kind words, she will be back up and going here hopefully in the next few weeks. Bearings were wrong and new ones arrive on Monday.

Thanks man!! She sure doesnt skip a beat. In the market for some Euro Bumpers or an M-TECH I kit if possible... M20 turbo is on the engine stand for future mods.

I do like the look of your car, are you planning on maybe tackling the Bogus Basin hill climb?

Thanks :) I had everything in motion to do it this year but had a financial pinch at the last minute. Shooting for next year now for sure. I would also like to go to some nearby out of state ones as well!

[SkiFree]
