Sorry guys. Nothing has happened yet. Although I tore the engine apart to find it's been bored .040 over.


I need help. I need to find good sub $800 aluminum heads that will fit TPI intake bolt patterns. It's the only thing I need before I buy everything for my top end rebuild

figured id update.. tho not much of one..


tore the block apart.. found the crank bearings have been reground .010 over. and the block has been clearance.. not sure if its been dacked or not. BUT both the main bearings, and the rod bearings have uneven wear on the rear bearings, like pistion 5-8, wore down to the copper. since my next motor will be a LS and I just want the damn thing to run, we got silicone impregnated bearings and new main cap, and rod bolts (hoping the uneven wear is caused cuz they reused old bolts and it didn't torque down right)




anyway. bought a COMP xe262h cam, 462-469 lift, 262-270 lift (218-224 @ .050)
double roller timing chail, and a bunch of small things




things I need:
clutch, flywheel, balancer, pullies, headers, Y-pipe, cat, and all the fuids, plugs ECT.








that's pretty much where im at.. works slow so funding for this is rather slow ATM

After 2 more years, I've tried selling this car like 4 times, and no one seems interested so I figure I might as well try to FINALLY put it back together and actually have some fun with it
