Only a few more days now!!! This coming weekend, I am pulling my motor and totally changing the personality of my car.
Will be installing: FTI AFR 165's, FTI Cam, Scorpion 1.6 RR's, BBK Longtubes/H-Pipe, Romac Balancer, Timing Set, Pushrods, SPEC Stage 2 Clutch, UPR Quadrant & Firewall Adjuster, along with all the fun stuff that goes along with those items.
Have a few good buddies coming to my house and starting Friday evening. Plan is to have everything done by Sunday night. Will pull the motor from the car by Friday night and get it on the stand. All day Saturday will work on the shortblock getting everything straight (Degreeing, PV Clearance, etc...), Bolt up clutch & Exhaust, and then get it back in and fired up by Sunday.
Not trying to rush it at all, but there is definitely experience between the 4 of us that will be working on it and I think the 20+ hours we will have will be enough. Don't want it to go longer than the weekend, but if it has to spill out into another week, it won't be the end of the world...it's not by daily driver.
I've been following Mark's progess on his AFR/FTI build, hopefully mine will go smooth as well and I can get it running right.
Here are a few pics of the parts ready to go in...beware you dial up people!!!
Heads of course

Matching Shorty H
Custom Hardened Pushrods
Roller Rockers
Billet Timing Set
