Forged motor going in

[Kooldino]

With some luck, my engine swap will start tomorrow and hopefully end on tues. Then I have to drive it like a sissy until the first oil change. :/

Good Luck, hope everything goes smoothly. I cant wait to ride in the beast when its ready!

 

[Mike R]

Nice, wish I could have gotten one of Wagners shortblocks instead of the stock one...Wagners was 700 bucks cheaper! (although I paid nothing..yay warranty!)

Are you doing the work yourself , or are you paying someone to do it ..

Me personally I wouldn't pay anyone to do my internals.

[Kooldino]

LOL, you guys kill me.

I took 2 days off from work and did it at a local speed shop with a guy that really knows his stuff. She started up on the first try...and got my home in one peice.

 

[LinuxRacr]

Damn, the flashbacks! (nervous)

Congrats man on more power! How do you like the sound of the motor (or did you get the pistons coated)?

 

[Kooldino]

I didn't get them coated.

Yeah, at idle it sounds like a diesel. Insane.

Quiets down once the revs go up though.

Does the engine quiet down after break in?

 

[LinuxRacr]

Not much. It will get quieter with higher revs though.

 

[Kooldino]

Doh.

 

[acidbug]

Wow..finally...Great to hear that she is on the street! What's ur plans for the tranny?

Chas

 

[Kooldino]

Well, LSD is a must. Beyond that, not sure.

 

[acidbug]
