I figure I'll add a summation to the start of the thread for those that don't want to sort through all the rabble. I have learned a ton throughout this build. Some stuff I'm proud of and some stuff I would have dofferently if I did it again. Mostly stuff like cheaper sourcing of parts, but anyways lets start off with some pics and mod list.

Heres where the car sits today. Ive ripped out a few things off the engine to prepare for the teardown. I dont have much time always so it goes in random stages. Here's the pics.

we're pulling the engine at my friend's house. and he has a trailer full of gravel there. so as soon as that moves I will be pulling the engine. Maybe next week?

amargill19? · 03-29-2007, 11:06 PM

confused as to what a trailer full of gravel has to do with pulling a motor..

CAPT_BLOTTO · 03-29-2007, 11:07 PM

the trailer is where i'm going to park the car for a few weeks. his driveway is full.

thelostartof · 03-29-2007, 11:07 PM
