I am now back home from training so the build will continue! I will be moving in a couple weeks so I am going to drop all my engine stuff off to be assembled on the way to my new house.
Just to update I dropped my engine off at Tick Performance a few weeks ago, the end of April. I met Martin and I must say his customer service is as great in person as it is online if not better. I can't wait to get my engine back and fire her up for the first time. I also got new cam specs.
Lol it would be a little late now to change my mind really considering my engine is at the machine shop and then getting assembled. I really can't wait to get it back and get it started up.
So an update on my build. Tick Performance just got my engine back from the machine shop so my engine should be ready for me to go get soon! So stoked! I should be able I get it up and running pretty soon after. I'll probably get a mail order tune so I can drive it to get a dyno tune done. Hopefully my rear won't blow before I get my 8.8 built.
I had forgot about your build. Good to hear it's progressing along nicely.
A long road but almost there. I have a friend building me a 8.8 rear for my car so I won't blow the rear end on start up LMAO. Also got a Milodon high capacity oil pan, it's 7 quarts not including the oil filter. That and I decided to have my headers dumped out the fenders so I'm doing dual fender exits with TSP 2"x3.5" stainless headers.
Good call on the 8.8. How much will you have total into the 8.8? That's the route I want to go too.
Right now only $170 but we just started. That was for the rear itself. I can pm you the details of what the total cost will be or if you pm me your email I can forward it to you as my friend sent it all in a email. I'm saving a lot though because I don't have any labor costs except some welding and gear set up.
