Finally getting some good work done!

Got the tires mounted and balanced.


Front Viking setup assembled.


Tearing the suspension apart for a full rebuild.


Test fitting my new RCI standalone tank. I would have bought a N2O outlet standalone, but I got a great deal on a used system on here. Turned out that the seller screwed me, and the tank that was designed to fit where the computer goes, was actually for an RX7, which was failed to be mentioned. I plan to re-do it all with this tank, and the help of another member who has sent me a lot of pics of his setup like this.


Motor getting ready to drop


Motor and Trans out!


Checking out the Tubular K Member.




Beginning the pre disassembly of the motor before putting it on the stand.

 

Nice progress! What is the rolling A-frame for?

 

Thanks, its getting there. Hoping to get the motor down to the bare block today. I use it to lift the car up in the front to get the motor out. Much easier than a cherry picker

 

Paying close attention to this build. Looks great! Tony talked me into a 383 set up as well so I'm ready to see your results. Gotta get my body ready for the engine first so itll be awhile for me looks great so far man also interested in the results on those mt's!

 

Its funny how persuasive he is!! But he all knows we want the best, so it's an easy sell!

 

Shortblock coming apart. Its a shame to tear it down. Only roughly 20 k on the rebuild, and less than 2k on the Tick cam swap. Time for a garage sale

 

The engine looks so clean coming out. You can tell it hasn't been in there too long. That's what I've been doing. Selling all my performance parts from my last revision getting ready for the new one. They're never fast enough for us

Nice progress man. Things are going quick! Real nice build.

Awesome idea on the A frame too. I wanted to hang some sort of crane type deal from my ceiling in my garage but I haven't figured it out yet.

 

Thanks! I have been watching your build as well, looking good!! Any plans to ever move to an F1?

 

Thanks. I've been trying to put some hours in on it too. I'd definitely like to upgrade to an F1. That's an easy mod so I'll see where I'm at when I'm getting ready to put the blower back on. I decided to upgrade my transmission which wasn't in my plans but oh well lol. I put a deposit down yesterday with RPM Trans for a TH400 so I'm excited.

 

Hell yeah!!

 

Getting a little more done.

All 4 Viking Coilovers assembled



Starting to get to a shortblock



And we are officially down to a shortblock!!





Out with the old!!

 

I sold my old wheels to a friend, and we both needed to roll our fenders. Rented a fender roller tool and knocked that out this weekend. I also took this time to install my rear coil overs.

 

No more Pistons or rods



Shortblock fully disassembled

 

I started a for sale thread if anyone is interested in any parts from the cam only build.

Things are coming along steadily. I try to spend a little bit of time in the garage 2 nights a week, and try to get 1 day on the weekend. So far it has not upset the wife

Got the new prothane motor mounts installed.


You could say it was time for new motor mounts. Once I broke the two halves loose, the original motor mounts just fell out, they were no longer bonded to the metal.

 

In for results

 

Nice! I still have nightmares about doing my motor mounts.... Aligning the holes was a nightmare! Although with the motor out of the car, you wont have those same issues.

 

I hear ya! When I did these on my LT1 years ago, I wanted I burn that thing to the ground.

 

Did I miss it? What are the new cam specs?

Also, what MAF are you going to use?

 

Nope, didn't miss it. I just got the specs from Tony last week. Cam is a 239/244, and I will be running a 100mm MAF.
