My old camera still sucks.

Not too many comments what gives?

looks good. cool a starion. dont see very many of those around.

keep up the good work.

oh btw. your camera is freakin out its overexposing the light reflections? ithink.

Baby steps here.

I am picking my engine up tomorrow from the machine shop, then I will spec everything out and document every clearance, once that is done engine assembly begins.

I am about done with my crank trigger wheel, now all I have to do is machine out a nice adjustable aluminum crank sensor pickup.

I also will need a larger capacity fuel rail now that I have gone with E85, I just don't think the stocker will have the required volume to support high HP.

So that is where I am right now.

And before I can build myself a new manifold I need to finish two for other people.

I also need to finish my shave job in the engine bay. ( I know its taking me forever, mainly because of my lack of time.)

Engine is now back in hand, just going to take my merry time install all the bearing torque it down and do a bunch of measuring.

This bottom is going to stay together damnit!

OK, so you're in the lead, my valve springs tested weak, so I'm ordering some BBC springs.
I do agree on taking all the time you need to measure and document the clearances, though. I'm going to design a spec sheet the lays it all out idiot-proof style.

 

[SURUKO]

nice to see all coming up nicely :icon_bigg


btw youre going to have to change your sign or you gonna keep it with basic mods..:sarcasm:

 

[funky_monkey58]

Mains all have proper clearances and the crank is now installed. As well I painted the block black. To proceed further I must wait upon more parts.

 

[honestabe]

isn't that how it always goes Sean?

 

[funky_monkey58]

Did some more sanding on the engine bay tonight, will try to get some pics tomorrow.

 

[92nsx]

Also you need to take way smaller pics, or post way smaller pics. No need for 5 mag pics is a build thread

Your block is looking really slick man. Are those JE pistons?

 

[supra90turbo]

Beauty! That looks incredible. I want it as a centerpiece in my living room

 

[92nsx]

I always knew you wanted your engine to look like mine. Now about that 6m crank, JK.

Ross pistons with teflon coating on the skirts.

Thanks!
