Small update.

Shortblock is at my house. I haven't opened the pallet yet so no pics.

Got both SFC's tacked and 3/4 welded up today. I'll finish them tomorrow then get the motor all prepped to be pulled. Hopefully my buddies motor crane and engine stand will be available to me next week.

Psyched to be finally getting stuff accomplished. :rock:

No pics yet Todd, I'll see about getting some tonight.

SFC's are done. Ran out of welding wire the other day so that set me back a day.

Top of the engine is striped from the intake to the front bumper support. Only thing there is the heads and block. Still waiting on the motor crane. with any luck I'll have that today.

I'm also doing an AC delete. I never use it and it needed to be recharged anyways. I will say it opens up quite a bit of room in engine bay on the the passenger side. I'm going to see if I can move my radiator inside the support where the the AC cooler was. That will give me more room around the turbo seeing it sits between the water pump and fan.

I did a little wire tucking too. :awesomework:

Todd, I have to work this weekend but as long as I get the motor crane today I'll have those headers ready next week.

The teardown is complete. I did an AC delete and I got to finish my wire tuck on the passanger side. It really opens up quite a bit of room.

How she sits ....




Saturday will be degreasing and cleaning day. Followed by some rattle can paint in the engine bay.

Then I can finally start bolting stuff in it instead of taking it out.:rock:

I got the K frame, A arms and coilovers installed. Wire tuck on passanger side is complete. I spent today tearing down my motor. Tomorrow will be a massive parts cleaning day again.

I'm bringing my heads to a machine shop on Thrusday for pressure testing. They have less then 5k on them but seeing they're out. $40 well spent in my book.

All goes well motor will be complete and sitting in the car by Fri evening. :awesomework:


I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow.
