just got the quote from the machine shop new studs and bearings on the axles $355. top seal rings and diamond pistons $800 all machine work and balancing of rotating assembly $775.

that all sound about right 200 for the rings 600 for the pistons sounds right. but 355 on the axles sounds alot to me.

 

blocks all apart it looks great!! wont need much machine work. pistons that were in it look brand new same with the rods but the bearings were a bit worn lik it got a bit hot?

 

great progress so far.

 

yea im finally at that point where i should be doin work often. cuz the moneys comin in now and i got alot to do

 

theres a change of plans comin i think. dad called AI for me and the only thing he could say is were goin with trickflow 215cc heads and now were lookin at tea trickflow 220cc heads

 

so after talkin to the old man were still usin AI but were gonna go with the trickflow 215cc heads. try and get more on motor. also i talked to dave at nitrous outlet and i might also get a direct port system and spray 2 stages. the direct port isnt decided on but the heads are. if i get the system ill spray 150 through the single nozzle and 200 on the DP for a 350 shot.

 

Do you really think you'll be able to transfer all of this power to the ground without twisting the bejeezus out of the thing? What are the plans for the chassis?

 

10pt cage umi 3pt frame connectors and maybe a strut tower brace. the cage and frame connectors should be all we need.

 

so it turned out that thursday he didnt call he confused me then i confused him lol but he did call friday got all the gasket info piston info CR and deck hight. but AI confused the HELL out of both of us. tell me if you understand. the guy rick that they show they said is a master tuner and his car has the best of everything. then they told us that we'll be lucky to get 9s the best we could expect is 9.5???!!! did he think my dad said 8s or something??

 

got bored tonight so i ripped this outta the car its an old alarm that the guy befor me had the thing weighs about a pound. was entangled in EVERYTHING.



off to the machine shop tomorrow with the block 2-3 weeks there
