And the build begins....(pics)

honing the block out. like cross hatching, making sure the cylinders are all perfect, for a perfect fit to the new pistons.
 
the whole shop they have is wicked man. you name it they have it. the block sleeving machine if effin crazy huge. they have machines that clean with super hot steam. its a cool place.
 
Just my .02$.... You should look for someone to port those heads and get some upgraded cams, springs and retainers. For 'All-Motor' engines power is in the heads. Turbo cars are the just with boost. Not 100% but close. Nice build.
 
yeah the head was already ported, valves have been redone, no cams or springs needed.
thanks for checkin it out.
 
Lookin' like a good build thus far.... How do you take the oil squirters out for the honing? I have a block and I have to get it measured and see if it needs to be over-bored but I haven't got them out yet....

i'm pretty sure they bolt in, and you pull them out..

it should be like that.. if not, you might need to give some leverage on either side to sort of pry it up.
 
yeah i didnt pull them the shop did and he said they were an absolute pain in the ass.
 
im going up there today, i think they are done with it now. if not then ill take some pics.
 
money is tight, the motor is still in piece, still gotta get this blue one up and on the road, im waiting on axles for it, then gotta get these damn oil drips fixed and fix the trans. once its all done ill be back on the scene with this build but the block is bored and honed, new oil squirters, just need 2k to have it all put together. but your baby is in good hands.
 
curious if anyone is interested in buyiing the car with the motor in pieces, just needs put together and back into the car and needs a turbo and then tuned. if anyone is interested let me know. i need to buy a truck and my silver car needs a good home, the blue one is up and running and also needs a good home.
 
make an offer, car has a ton of parts on it, engine just needs assembled, the engine in literally in pieces, owe over 4grand on this car still, car only like 45 thousand miles on it, you can see all my parts and what all has been done i just wanna get out from under this car.
 
yeah i hate to part with it but times are tight and i have parts laying around that go with the car like original Dave B gauge rings
 
lolum my blue one just needs that engine ;) and i still owe just under 4k lol

deal deal ;)
