Ah okay, I haven't seen that one before.
Ive moved a couple things to run off right at the firewall, map sensor and knock sensor. I removed a good amount of plugs and wires that weren't needed, then I lost motivation lol.

 

Got the motor assembled 100%. Was thinking of putting the motor/trans in the car but for some reason QM doesn't include the bolts to bolt the throw out bearing to trans... Going to grab some from the hardware store tomorrow...

Didn't take as many pictures as I wanted but here's what I have.. All bearing clearances are spot on to what the machine shop told me.

Crank dropped in




Rods/pistons/rings assembled. Rings were filed before this already.


Crankshaft end play within spec


Pistons/rods installed and TQ'd. Rod bolts torqued with the included Manley lube. Stretch and recommended torque both spot on.




Headgasket/MAP H11's. Applying the included lube for the studs before spreading around the threads.


Head on a torqued


Timed and mostly together


All together






Daily driver

 

Lookin good bro!

 

Thanks man

 

Bolt solution for the throw out bearing


Good bolt length


Installed. I used blue loctite on the threads.




Some one asked for pictures of the plates and discs of this clutch so here they are...

Disc 1


Plate 1


Disc 2 > Plate 2




Ready to go in the car.


Looks good. No shims required for stock crank.


Cell phone pic of the manifold/turbo mock up

 

Make sure you stagger the clutch disc so that the holes don't line up with one another.

Looks great so far. I think I bought the same bolts from ACE Hardware when I did mine.

 

very nice looks awesome! new setup is going to kick ***

 

sooooo sick scott

 

Thanks guys. Everything is coming together very smooth. Put the motor in a little while ago and got the manifold/turbo installed so I can start to fab the LICP and the downpipe.

Ignore the crappy valve cover. It'll be glossy or maybe wrinkle black before it runs.




Making sure things are good..






Pic for you Tom. No way in hell you would be able to run any kind of filter if you bought this manifold lol.

 

Your forman don't look to happy about the job there Scott. He found somethin he doesn't like that you have to fix

 

Looking good Scott! Can't wait to see it all buttoned up Do you still plan on getting out to the track once more this season?

 

Nice build,,, alll the best

 

Pretty sure he approves of all the work

Thanks man! Should be up and running next week. Just waiting on a few random odds and ends to come in.

I won't be racing it until spring I'm pretty sure. Need to buy my new wheel setup which won't be for a while lol.

Thank you

 

Curious on the compression ratio...., sorry if it was posted and I missed it, looks to be a killer build. Good luck with it!

 

Compression ratio is 10.5:1
