Got my rockers, locks, guide plates, locators today.

 

JE pistons came in TODAY! Almsot all parts are in.

 

Well it didn't look that rough from the factory.

Get it sandblasted.

 

Haha, you have a very good point.

 

what cam are you going with?

 

One you recommended lunati 60122
Do you guys think the PAC 1218's will be safe to use? Kinda late now cause there already orderd, but just need some opinions.

Lift .535/ .550 (not includeing rockers)
1.6 rockers

 

Pulling it from the top is just a waste of time, yes it can be done, but from a very good mechanic it took him 6 hours start to finish out the top, with air tools, It took a friend (who is a student mechanic) it was 2 1/2 hours out the bottom using hand tools. I won't waste my time going out the top.

 

I dont think it even took us 6 hours, Ill ask them how long they think it took, for a second opinion.

 

took about 3 hours, for us to do it.

 

Got gaskets today

aswell as springs, and waterpump sprockets/water pump gear etc. Also got timing chain.
My block has been at a performance shop getting splayed 4bolts for 3 weeks or more, so that should be done extremely soon, if its not done now.

 

Just a little update, spoke to the engine builder yesterday, he said the shop who is doing the line bore (align?) and splayed caps, lost a few workers so thats why that is taking FOREVER. Im still waiting on Cam and ARP studs, but everything else is here, and waiting on the machine shop.

 

what are your goals for the car?

 

wife is P*ssed at you, she can't walk straight now...thanx for the wood!!

 

Plan is 383, je nitrous piston, compstar 6" rod, 3.75 compstar crank, lunati 60122 cam, stock heads for now. 12:1 compression, 300shot nitrous. (in the end 300shot not with stock heads)


Your welcom
