Default whadaya think?

Hey guys i thought i would just throw a few pics up of my project. I know its nothing special, but its my first, and im proud of it lol. All i did to the motor was all the gaskets (I think evry gasket that could leak was leaking), lunati timing set, 24# injectors (one of the shitty 22#'s was leaking bad and i was afraid of washdown), slp air foil, msd opti rebuild, new water pump, poly motor and trans mounts, k&n fipk cai, and pacesetter lt's with 3" ory. I really wanted to at least do a cam, but work is slow and i dint have the money. Im getting a piggyback from ion. I also had the 16x8 trans am style wheels and found a set of 4 ws6 wheels in really good shape for 200 bucks! I love craigslist. So i got new sumitumo htrz's for them for 400 from tirerack. So in the end ill have a non leaking car with better handling and a few more ponies. The hardest thing iv done untill this project was a timing set on my 1991 slomaro. I think a pro would be happy with my work too.

The motor goes in this or next weekend!!!!!!!!

looks pretty good to me! have fun with the motor install, although you should have a better time than I did since you are going through the bottom.

There is nothing like having a leak free motor after you've been used to a motor puking it's guts out all the time. Have fun with the LT's man.

lol you guys crack me up all the time. And yes its gunna be sweet to have a dry car, i cant wait. It's looking like next weekend though. My dad does alot of sidejobs and has actually had too much to do. So with me being really slow at work iv been able to help him and make some money. Theres a mazda in the garage right now that we'r doing the bodywork and painting, it should be done soon though. So hopefully next weekend. Ill post pics and vids when finished.
