not trying to be a dick when I say this, but why dont you clean anything before you install it? everything you are showing up close pictures of has a fine layer of filth thats not helping anything and makes it so you just get dirty any time you have to work on anything int he future.

I actually have cleaned most pieces. That wash bottle looks like hell, but I'll buff it out, along with my overflow bottle. I like things clean and not oily. I don't like getting dirty, working on my car.

740 Turbo Overflow bottle & bracket...The old 240 one cracked, and I had a 940 unit ziptied in there...but this works well, and is the same as in my 242 16vT

NPR intercooler fitted!

Must be nice to have a lift so you can completely assemble the engine bay THEN drop the car on the drive train

It makes back breaking suspension work, no sweat at all.

I'm going to install the short block from above, then torque head in car and install transmission.

Profit for not having to buy another rattle can

240240 brought me my B230FT short block, on his way home from Davis...

It's Zvolv's old motor, from his '75...a '94 B230FT with Yoshifab 16v valve reliefs!

I cleaned, resealed and installed it, this week...and got my freshly rebuilt head back from the machine shop...they had to take 3 thousandths out, as it was warped...fresh seals and 4.6L v8 valve springs!

I've followed the "Non Ghetto NPR Piping" thread and have done my best to replicate it, with a 16v...

Also, Lexus/Prime 250's...16x7!

Meh...front is a little light, till my transmission is back in.

'79 GT front springs get her up a bit...but this is a practical daily driver wagon for hauling and camping. Not lowering this one

Mylesofsmyles · Apr 12, 2014

Airdam helps!

Sharingan 19 · Apr 13, 2014

As soon as flywheel returns from machine shop

BIG NEWS!

I bought a brass 3/4" NPT to 5/8" Hose barb adapter....Why? Because I tapped my PCV vacuum port, on my pre turbo elbow, for less leaks.

Sharingan 19 · Apr 17, 2014

Like dis? Gotta love that thick cast aluminum elbow.

I actually found a 90* fitting with a long smooth barb in steel, so I returned the brass stuff.

Mylesofsmyles · Apr 18, 2014

Sorta...didn't think about the 90-degree elbow...good thinking

Rectilinear · Apr 18, 2014

Nice build! Looks like it's coming together well!! Makes me wish I had time to work on my redblock Datsun project....
