That's gonna be a nasty little ride when it's done. What exactly does it take to get that to fit?

uhm looks like you put all the stock internals back in it. might as well put all the old bearings back in since nothing was changed.

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

cant wait to see the finished product.

[99BlackPonyGT]
