Well not yet but 99% of it is ordered. I figured I start a new thread instead of extending my planning thread. Some things have changed from the plan but not much. The budget goes pretty quick when you start spending it.

Here's what I ordered ...

MMR 600 shortblock w/
-- MMR side bolts
-- ARP main studs
-- MMR street/race oil pump
-- 2V piston notches

On3 70mm forward facing turbo kit

UPR tubular K-frame w/coil overs
-- 12"/200# springs

KYB front struts

Maximum Motorsports CC plates

Spec stage 3 clutch

Kurgan Motorsports 340lph fuel pump

Pro-M Slot style MAF

Siemens Deka 60# injectors

Innovate MTX-L wideband A/F gauge kit

Auto-meter boost/vac gauge



I have everything in except the turbo kit and the shortblock. Turbo should be here in a couple weeks and MMR estimates a 4-5 week assembly time. That should put delivery time around the beginning of March. I'm not planning on cams but I couldn't see getting a shortblock without the piston notches.

The main thing I have to wait for is MOTHER NATURE to turn the heat back up.:smash:

Todd the UPR kit comes with the A-arms. I needed them with the coilovers to fit the crossover and hotside piping.


When I do it you're more then welcome to stop up. I'm actually going to get the car running after the suspension and shortblock. This way I can make sure there's no issues with the engine. I'll also have the car aligned then to get all the steering and suspension components where they got to be.

Then it's back in the garage for the turbo, injectors, MAF, and pump. If I have issues starting then I'll know it's with the MAF wiring, a fuel problem or the start-up tune.

The turbo kit show up today just before I left for work. :evil:


I'm not to happy with UPS. The boxes look like they came thru a war zone. The kit came in 3 large boxes and 1 of them has the whole end literally torn completely open. :mad::nono:

I haven't checked anything yet. I want to take pics of the boxes before I open them. My camera is broken and I have to borrow my stepson's. I'll post up pics when I get home in the morning.

Damn ups the last package I ordered was all squashed up as well then I saw the guy drop it on my porch...in my case it was nothing breakable but I still stepped out unhappy telling him off lol... That's good thinking on assembling the engine first and making sure all is well then turboing...less options of error if something does go wrong... Ids love to swing throughwhen the time comes! Keep me posted for sure

Reminds me of the fags that work for the post office. They always tear my magazines/ catalogs then put them in a fucking plastic 'we're sorry' bag instead of replacing them. That's why I fear ordering MM&FF because I don't wanna pay and have them overpaid assholes ruin them.

Got some pics taken. Enjoy the wonderful care that UPS takes while shipping costumers packages.

BOX 1 ...







BOX 2 ...






The 3rd box is fine and I think that's the one with the turbo,wastegates,and BOV in it. The one that is torn open looks to have mostly piping in it from what I can see. Hopefully nothing fell out.

I'm about to send On3 an email with the pics and then go thru everything and make sure nothing's missing or broke.

Hopefully everything is good. And like Todd said, if you need any help, just give us peeps a shout.

Just thought I stop in with no news. :(

February + unheated garage = no workie on car. :thumbsdown:

I got it sitting on blocks on each corner getting ready to weld my MM sfc's on. Just too damn cold. Maybe this weekend I can get them welded and finally start getting the motor and trans unbolted.

All I got to say is winter sucks and I usually torture myself during each one with new parts that I can't do anything with. :smash:

^ Yeah there's nothing fun about playing with frozen wrenches and ice cold nuts & bolts.

Go rent a Bullet Heater and get to work slacker

I was actually looking at salamander heaters today. A 75K BTU for $179 seems like a better deal then renting. Problem is I just spent $350 on a mig 2 weeks ago because my buddies got ran over in his garage. The welder I can use again, the heater I can't see where I'll use it again. If I'm not getting anything done by the time my short block gets here I'll get one then.

Well sounds like I'm not the only one who needs to get crackin'. I'll have those headers for you right after I start the new motor. I forgot to tell you that in our messages.

I got another phone call from MMR today. My shortblock is done and they were confirming that I wanted to pick it up at UPS's local hub. I have no way of taking delivery off a semi at my house. Oh, and UPS in Queensbury doesn't handle "truck freight". That comes from the Albany hub so I'll be taking a trip down there when it comes in.

The order for UPS went in today and I will get a tracking # as soon as they pick it up from MMR.


Todd ... plans changed again. I'll be doing everything at one time so them headers will be off shortly. I'll let you know as soon as they are.
