yea because old worn out bearings are just as good as new fresh ones...i probably shoulda re-used the piston rings too huh? the stock internals were fine, the block was looked over by a machine shop and honed, and all the clearances were perfect...the whole entire motor was perfect, just cleaned it up some and put it back together...these motors see 200k miles and have perfect clearances sometimes, and this block only had about 30k on it
i want to fire it up by may
shoulda swap right in just like a foxbody since its the same chassis...im using foxbody swap parts and a k member from a 94/95 gt
and my77, dont worry i got teflon comp seals... just waiting on the tool to get the heads cut to size... the new springs wont even fit under those lol
oh yea and it will be a lot of weight... adding coilovers to the front to keep the car from scraping the ground lol
i was sarcastic.

so where are u with the entire build right now. can u put up a little update and summary of what has been done and where u are going from here
90% of my parts are sitting here....waiting on my buddy to find a shop though...hes been looking and has it narrowed down to 3...also waiting to get my frame pulled back into alignment after wrecking the car... i get my license back thursday, so ill be dropping the car off to get pulled friday, hopefully have it back by monday or tuesday, and then hoping that my buddy decides on a shop by then... 1 or 2 weeks and we should be tearing into it i hope
damn that sucks, how did u wreck it? so i know u stated it earlier, but how much is this going to cost u when its all said and done? im assuming there are no installation costs?

$600 installation cost...really my buddy just needed some help buying a shop since he needed a down payment, so i paid him the 600 to help him out since hes doing so much for me
looking at 4-5k all said and done...coulda been done much cheaper, but i bought a lot of new parts
still waiting for my car....body shop should be done with it this week
my buddy also got a shop yesterday...so maybe in the next 2-3 weeks the tear down should begin
ive also already found a buyer of my drivetrain...its going into a new edge v6... its kinda of a neat car... full cobra clone (kids dad has a cobra, and is paying for everything)... the orange color gm uses on their z06s, and black chrome fr500s...hes going to be rebuilding my engine and turboing it...so atleast someone will get some use from this motor since i no longer want it! lol
cant wait for the new one to get dropped in
heres some pics of the shop...the previous people built an office over the drive in door, so my buddy backed his super duty in through the drive in door and obliterated it lol...clean up this week, hopefully moving his tools in next week (he needs a flatbed to move his box...it weighs 6k lbs)
Quote:
walk in the door, the office is to the left
this little room, well ill just say it not there anymore
and on to my office, and thats a dock door. i think tow truck can drop cars there easy
here you can see the office they made in front of the drive in door
its no longer there.
i wasnt there 5 minutes tearing **** up.
body shop called me today...they were "manuevering my car around the shop" and the tranny locked up in reverse... my buddy said he was over there and saw them beating on it last week like it was a damn F1 car...im not ****ing happy AT ALL
cant even bitch at them because i dont want ****ty body work done
grrrrrrrrrrr
its not like im even going to be using the trans anymore, and i got AAA so i can move the car to my buddys new shop when its done
but that throws a kink into me selling it for my fuel/exhaust systems money
