Been on vacation. Will try to get started next week. Still have a couple little things to pick up, like coolant, motor oil, and oil filter, etc.

Okay, so my daily driver Nissan needed my attention this week. Needed one car to be operational. Plan to start the swap this weekend.

But, the good news is I had a couple of other things come in.





Founders stuff looks incredible for the price. Got the on-car adjustable panhard bar with Poly ends and LCAs with their 3-piece poly ends.

I ordered the Comp pushrod length checker today. I won't need it until I'm near the end of the swap, so hopefully it'll arrive just in time. Then, I'll order the Manton pushrods. I already sort of know what the size will probably be, but I want to know exactly what my preload is going to be on the Morels.

I got it because of the price. And I have squeaking back there, so instead of just replacing with new bushings, might as well get something that's a big step up in performance without sacrificing ride comfort. Those 3-piece poly joints look like just the ticket.

Plus, I'll be set when I put my 315s back there.

Sounds like a badass build combo....IN for your TEA results; still have yet to
put mine on as all spring I was flooded with roundy round motor builds and
we finally got nice weather up here about a month ago so I can't convince
myself to tear it down yet. Like you once mine goes under the knife I know
I'll create every reason possible to change/upgrade this or that....like that
commercial with the kids.."we want more, we want more, we really like it so
we want more"....

Some fun stuff from CircleD came today! All the tools should be here this week, too. I didn't budget for the tools, dammit!!!

Anyway, the CircleD package is nicely done - very impressed with how it was packed. Chris was very helpful as well and look forward to seeing what the custom 2E does for me (4000 to 4200 stall).

Any reason why you got a single disc and not a multi disc?
