So that silver 99Z parts donor car of yours could end up being a low buck drag/turbo combination in the future ??? If that’s the case, we know this pile will be cheap and you could post some pics of that whip to this thread.
Might actually make a unique build thread that went from free junk to buyer/user with multiple inputs. Kinda silly but cool as well
Is "too many cars" a thing?

Yeah the 99 SS car that I bought for parts is going to become a budget turbo build as long as it's in good enough shape once I start tearing it apart. I will definitely know more within the next couple months when I get time/motivation to pull the parts needed for the 97.

Cool beans. Still need to add like three more cars to your profile there so others can fully understand the magnitude of your automotive disorder

My home made pin stop contraption



Little heat. Seal was toast on the shop rose bud; So had to Jimprovise



Desired stop depth set. Piston facing the correct direction, trusty pin Driver in place



All done. Bout twenty minutes total. SWEET

Killing me guys. Had quite the chuckle picturing the new Dew commercial with that goofball acting all Hot while Junior stands there like WTF
All seriousness though; thanks a bunch !!! Your interest fuels me
Heads getting Milled thirty five now to get down to about 55cc
Block getting bored, honed, and decked next. Praying that thirty cleans up that fucked up cylinder. Doubt it but it’ll be close. Can’t wait to paint it. Always my favorite part for some juvenile reason....
Meanwhile the next owner of this Lil’ Mill is saving his pocket change and watching from afar.

Should CC in the neighborhood of 55 after a pretty substantial milling



Not great lighting but surface finish is really nice

What gasket will you use with those "Notched" heads milled that much?

Will do Gotta get those three broken manifold bolts out. Lap the valves in again then clean and put together with new seals and springs

Not too certain. The replacement ones look like bore matching graphite

Thanks man. Much appreciated
Dropped the block off at the Machine shop today
They plan to offset bore the few nasty rusty cylinders if needed to insure they clean up well.

Put a 3/8 washer over the broke bolt, use duct tape to hold it, weld it to the stud then weld a nut to that, cool it with penetrating oil an un screw it .. Works for me every time..

Good idea. One is slightly sticking out. The other two are recessed. Could end up drilling and easy out extractor. We shall see soon

Best guess as of now before CC’ing the chambers or finding out how much the block gets decked to clean up nicely. Should end up pretty boost friendly with the factory .500” camshaft

I've had to build up weld on the broke bolt as well. Usually the heat from that breaks it loose pretty well. Then just a set of vice grips can unscrew it

Good to know. Thanks. Some minor searching found the Fel Pro 9292. Not even certain that’s the correct one but looks similar to what came off

Thee arsenal 5/16” coarse



Start with a two step blob from the wire feed



Enough to hold the nut



Three quick “1 second” zaps to fuse the blob to the nut
