Your project is coming along nicely as well!

 

 

Do you know yet what that's gonna cost you? I've been meaning to check around machine shops locally to see what it'll cost me to get the block cleaned up, maybe the heads too...

 

Not a clue on the price, I doubt it will be much since my grandfather is friends with the owners of the shop. They have done a couple of his engines as well.

 

Shouldn't be too bad, I think I put $900 into mine which included boil the block, touch up the hone, replace all the rod bolts with ARP and resize them, clean up the pistons, balance the rotating assembly, new bearings and rings. Probably a few other things I forgot about. Not being in the over priced state of NJ you could probably get it done for 1/2.

Now I think I need to unwrap the motor tomorrow and do some work on it. Getting cold up here again

 

Yeah as of right now there are only going to dip everything and then press in new cam bearings. I will be doing everything else with the help of my dad and grandfather.

Engine is going to be ford blue, while the intake, valve covers, and water pump will be gloss black.

 

Hmmmm... if I ever autoX this car I feel like I'd run these.




EDIT: Bronze ones aren't bad either.

 

SICK!

 

They are only $120 a piece for 16x7s, I paid more a piece for my 15s on there now.

I do feel like if I bought these, there wouldn't be enough chrome on the car to balance out all of the red.

 

I much prefer the wheels you have now to those.
