All the parts to start my 4g64 short block finally arrived so I started strip down my junk yard special. I was very pleased to see that the motor I got had very low mileage. There was barely any wear on any of the parts and the oil pump looked brand new. Here is the parts list of what will be going into this block:

SBR Wiseso 9:0 Compression Pistons
SBR Manly Rods
New 4g63 Mitsubishi Crank
Full set of Cometic Gaskets
JAM Balance Shaft Removal Kit
ARP Head Studs
ARP Main Studs
ARP Rod Bolts
P.E. Cam Timing Belt

Here is the work I did on Sunday:

 

nice! How much for the short block from the salvage yard? Do you plan on machining for oil squirters?

 

I got a great deal for 200 bucks

No oil squirters for now. I want to get this into my car ASAP so I can sell the 4g63 so I can order some head parts

 

200 bucks is pretty sweet, deal when I build my block this is definitely one of my options I will be considering

 

My g/f would be very proud of the Manley conrods... (she works @ Manley)

- Steve

 

Really!? So what kind of hook-up can she give us?

 

She can give ME an awesome hookup

 

Ok finally took the afternoon off work today to drop the motor off at the machine shop. They will be cleaning up the block, boring/honing (.20 over) the cylinders, and balancing the crank. All this for a grand total of .... 60 dollars. I should be able to pick up the block on Thursday and start putting everything togther this weekend.

 

Very nice project!!! if you dont mind me asking...how much have you spent so far as far as the motor build up goes? I would just like to get a rough idea if i went this route with my motor. thanks a lot

 

SBR Destroker Kit: $1700
4g64 Block: $200
ARP Stuff: $200
Gaskets: $200
Timing Belt: $100

Total: $2400

 

^ Insane, I want a ride

 

nice project. gotta ask, why destroke though?

 

You can safetly rev this motor higher than a 4g63 and have the added displacement. I was going to just build up my 2.0 but for a few 100 more I decided to go with a 2.1.

 

So he can run higher RPM's

 

BTW my 4g63 shortblock will be for sale as soon as I pull the block out. I will start taking offers at 800+shipping. If you are interested please send me a PM
