wow awesome build. can't wait to see the finished product.

 

 

Oh, one last thing... if you're going to mate up any braided lines to existing piping (like coolant / oil), weld the ends on before you put the motor back in the car.

 

Im trying to stay away from AN fittings for the most part. They tend to leak over time.

 

Carbonetic Triple carbon got picked up today!!!

Looks pretty beefy from the looks of things. Engine will be going in as soon as I find my clutch fork, shaft thingy from when I switched to a tilton.

 

Clutch fork shaft thingy lol



Pics of Clutch or ban!

 

Didnt take pics of the clutch yet. Unless you want them of it still in the box.

Anyways, I got most of the motor together for a mock-up to see if I retained all of the bolts and things getting moved around 3 times.







Before anyone says anything I just noticed the alternator bracket is on wrong.

 

Time to scrub the block! Filthy!

BTW, I like the smokes on top of the c16

 

The block is clean. Just got done cleaning the valve cover.

As for the smokes, well the can is empty. When I get another one Im going to weld the 2 together and make a bar stool out of it. I already have an old seats from my previous bar set.

 

Wow it looks good, cant wait to see the final outcome though!

 

Me either. It gets closer everyday.

 

i wanna see those barstools!

 

lol that is kinda funny.

Looks like an awesome build though. Bringing back very tiring/frustrating memories to when I did my build lol

BTW I ended up putting the engine/tranny back in from the bottom and it wasnt too bad. I'm sure you can do it from the top too but I didnt have another person/helper and wasnt too hard and didnt take too long.

 

im in the same build except pauter rods and wisco hd1400s 20 over but a 57trim lol hopfully upgrading turbo!!!

good luck youll be seeing my build video soon!!

 

Nice build, take your time and do it right ! Keep up the good work!
