FINALLY got the spray working. We had to back it down to a 150 shot because fuel support. I have a Walbro but ill be going with a standalone and C16 soon and trying a 200, possibly 250. I have a spare motor so why not.

that engine stand is an old one. a 69 pontiac 400 ram air was the first motor ever built on it...in ~1991.

soldiering on in this heat. heads are installed, timed, and timing chain cover on, water pump on.

gonna fabricate mount for turbo next week.







didnt touch the heads, they are already ported and have low miles. just took them off and put them back on. water pump is the same one it already had. rebuild is just for more overall strength.

Did a Chevy orange-red paint up on lower air box....turned out nice and shiny! Added a nice contrast to engine bay.

Just about ready to crank; have to prime the oil pump and change two rocker shafts that I accidentally broke spinning the motor over on the engine stand.
