Project:Teal Beast

Started on putting hte new parts i have procurde over the past year for the motor.
Going to be installing BBK Ceramic shortie headers, BBK X pipe, GT40X heads, BBK ssi race series intake, and still debating on putting in the cam now or later when i do the bottom end with forged internals. Pics below are before pics

RE: Project:Teal Beast

Removed the airinjection tubing,headers and heads today and scraped the top of the block a little.
Any sugestions on cleaning off the top of the block? was gonna use a biscuit than was thinkin it may take off some metal and am considering using a wire wheel. Last pic I put on one of the new heads jsut to see how it looks....Ya I couldnt wait.

Looks good so far.
I'd deff throw in the cam now rather than waiting. stock cams aren't bad but can deff be improved on.

RE: Project:Teal Beast

Ok I decided to change the cam out also.....question is should I look into replacing the timing chain while I'm at it or should it be good? motor has about 125000 Miles on it. the oil gallery and old heads looked like they were in good condition.

RE: Project:Teal Beast

yes on the new timing chain.its cheap insurance. make sure to save some money for a tune after your done. with that many changes your gonna need it. those sn95 computers are pretty picky.
