Damn you snapped that's exactly what I wanna so to my car.. Just gotta pay off all my fines and fees n what not..
Keep up the good work

 

I want an "Epic Shelf" Great job on your build

 

Thanks guys!
ill probably put the motor together this weekend, my dads out of town and he has my torque wrench! lol

 

I ordered some more parts!

Some energy suspension torque mount inserts (for $47) and a brand new omni 70mm TB (for a STEAL of $70 )

 

Gonna bore out the stock Intake manifold





Gutted out the bumper




Props to Wade from Torksperformance

 

Micro-polished crank


crank, bearings, and caps on (gonna have to take the caps and crank off tomorrow i forgot the thrust bearings lol)

 

 

props on doing most of that stuff yourself. I did the same a while back and had a blast doing so.

 

Thanks! Its definitely fun learning more about it as you go.

 

Have you thought of a different IM instead of boring out your LS IM? I think your set up would benefit from a modified Type R manifold. Then you can bore out the Type R IM to match your TB. Just a suggestion...

 

Ehh boring out mine is easier for now, I'll upgrade down the road.

turns out the machine shop undersized my crank by .010 with out telling me. I already opened my mains but i haven't opened my rod bearings so i can return those. I found some .010 over regular ACL bearings I'm gonna get.

I got a bit done today though, spent all morning scouring DFW for a damn piston ring filer, Oriley's saved my *** and got one from Oklahoma. So i filed my top compression rings to .019, and the bottom compression rings were already .023.




So we went ahead and put the pistons/rods in the block





Then we bored out my IM to 70mm to match my TB

 

Ok! I got ALOT done today! so there are ALOT of pictures haha.



Rods and mains are all torqued!
