there's pics of my old setup all over here. the new setup will look very similar with the exception of cleaning up **** in the engine bay, and hopefully making 150+ more rwhp. ill make a build thread once im closer to getting back together so its not drawn out over 2-3 months
how do you keep track of how your wiring harness went and what bolts go where? Im so unorganized its not even funny lol.. and my car will be sitting like this, this winter. looks good btw, what engine is that?
Looking good! I can't wait to have my engine bay painted.
I use lots of zip lock bags with groups of nuts/bolts/etc. when I have to take things apart. So maybe a single bag would hold all the bolts and whatever for the front bumper cover. Of course I label each bag 'cause I'll get confused.

built by TEC in south florida (awesome to do business with btw), 01 LM7 block and crank, eagle H beams w/ ARP 2000's, JE pistons, clevite bearings, ARP mains. keeping the TC76 and gonna see how far it will go. hoping for 650 on pump and 750+ turned up. honestly 9.7-9.8 @ 140+ is the primary target

1) the current power goals are based on the TC76. down the line a precision 7675 or something similar with likely end up in the car and those power goals will go up substantially, and i would prefer iron in the 900+ range.
2) its always nice to have a spare motor in case a good project comes up, plus a have a little emotional attachment to it. ill slowly turn it into a budget longblock find something to do with it. dont be surprised to see it in this little guy i just picked up to scratch my driving like a crazy person itch. buddy got hit on the left front corner and i got it for dirt cheap, gas savings alone will pay for the ****** in a couple months. 27.2 mpg last tank beating the brakes off it
