* = need before turnover to...
Came upon a great article today shared by Mayday garage and written by Charles Kha. I feel his words are very true and worth pondering by all of us.

I'm fully building my bottom end right now, enough to support well over 600hp, but I'm only looking for 500ish with my bolt on situation, but the fully built bottom end is focusing on reliability with a superduperawesome oiling system (without going drysump). All I can say is.... it's expensive lol.
And here is the perplexing stuff:
"new" valve body
Internals of the "new" trans
Old valve body still mounted
Old oil pan. I have no idea why it was so dirty... remember I had just performed a flush when I installed the cooler. I want to say this is dirt that cam from the t/c...
More:
Stripping the block
I gaze at my princess and despair :'(
The Gates hose are impossible to get off... ruined this one trying now I need a new set of coolant hoses FML
Random picture of my gourmet ramen. le fuck yeah
Leaking PS hose, gonna replace with braided...
Next:
Different tranny mounts. My old one on the right and the one that came with my "new" trans on the left. There is a large heavy rubber thing that once mounted doesn't actually touch anything and gets in the way of the exhaust support bracket on my car.
Box of cleaned parts...
First, thanks guys for the comments, and second, here is a long awaited picture update with some perplexing stuff at the end. Here we go:
Cleaned up the shifter
Have to cut the wires to take the rubber piece off :'(
I hate ghetto wiring... need a soldering machine...
Oh yeah, I'm gonna need new AC lines. fml. It seems at some point, someone decided to put some form of softline into my system, and now it's leaking from the union from hardpipe to softline.
