Got it back, and getting it together!!!!! i picked up my parts last night!!!!
so once i got home, we got moving!!
we got the block cleaned up, the pistions clearance all checked (wall) the rings all file fit, all bearings clearanced, set up the end play, and got everything all set up and ready to work on.
tonight we will be putting the pistons in checking clearance, then hand the rings on the pistions, and begin assembly.
im hopping to have the entire shortblock done tonight and possably have throw the head on and check pistion to valve, then throw the heads on for good.
as long as everything fits up, i will have it done and ready to go in the car by the end of the day tommorow which means best case thursday, worst case friday i will be putting the motor in, i have to rework the fuel system a tad, and should be up and running by saturday, and possably at the test and tune sunday!! thats if everything is the right parts.
the only hold up may be oil pan fitment with the alum rods, they hit
and pretty bad, once pistions are in, we will adress that issue, that will be my only hold up if everything else is correct.
cant wait, im close now

jl, i need to be to the rear axle in the class im in, so im just going to get it done.
al, dont swing by tonight, we are putting it together at lou's house, and tonight is assembly night, so we dont want anyone there, no dust ect. tommorow hopefully i will be putting the motor in the car, so swing by then.
Brian, its thatwhitemetal ****, can you tig that? if so, give me a buzz, once we fit it up, maybe you can drive by (3 minits from my house) and see if you can do it.
give me a buzz when you get a minit.

I didn't know there was a rule for that... makes sense to do it now in that case.
is that a rule for all the classes at ned, or just the one you run in.... if it is, then it makes me want to get moving on that sooner then later. I have to get the converter out of my car and get it to Lenny to have an adjustment on that made so the car will be apart for a little while in July, but back together before hte end of the month I figure....... maybe I'll try to get Bruce to do the exhaust back to the axle too while I'm at it.

its a rule for ihra it isnt inforced much, but in the real street class they can brake ***** about it, so i have the stuff, mine as well just do it. im thinking i can do it in about 3 hours, so one night after work should do it.
if we get the motor done tommorow night, by friday i will have the motor, tranny all in and done by friday night. saturday, make the exhaust and button up a few things, (wire in the wide band, and new 2 step, and maybe get all the nitrous wired up and lines bent, then possably race sunday
