well i figured i would throw a thread up for anyone interested.
here is what she looked like in the fall. I popped a head gasket and blew out some oil lines thats why there is oil everywhere
here is what it looked like after i stripped and welded everything
here is what it looks like after paint, i meant to get a pic after i primed it but i forgot
the paint store did a good job matching my color, i peeled back some paper to take a look
i also painted some odds and ends, valve covers, coolant rail from lower intake and brake booster Gloss black. Also i painted my upper intake "aluminum" color
the 2 dings are unknown to me some one dropped something on it in the winter i think and didn't tell me
i am rather proud of this lol, back about a year ago one of the bolts for my fuel rail stripped out and we used a piece of exhaust strap to hold it down (how ghetto) so i took my fuel rail and welded on an "extension" and drilled a new hole and tapped it in the intake , still gotta grind it and make it look pretty. BTW the 24 lb injectors were just for mock up so i wouldn't get my 42's dirty lol
other goodies that i have to install
Autometer Sport Comp Gauges:
-boost
-water temp
-oil press.
-and an external fuel pressure gauge that is going on the cowl
new 50Resto carpet
new heater core (what a pain that was )
ARP head studs
got a bung welded onto my oil pan for oil drain
Motor goes in on saturday, and then its jsut a metter of time till i can drive her again . i will keep this updated
