I talked to Ed C. today and my stuff will be here tomorrow. I think I'm going to try to do everything this weekend since I have 3 days this weekend (no class on president's day). Any tips or helpful advice before I get going would be appreciated. FYI - I already have everything off the car, I'll just be assembling. Heres a few things I thought of:
-Clay the piston to check for PTV clearance
-Rocker geometry (Don't know much about this, Ed said he'd help)
-Get my cam degree'd right and timing set OK
-Double check all electrical connections and vacuum lines when putting everything back together.
I'm going to try to use the stock VC's with a set of comp pro Pagnum rockers and a pretty thick VC gasket, hopefully they will fit. If not, I saw a bunch of fox body VC's on Ebay.
BTW - Here is waht my combo will be plus the mods in my sig
AFR 165's 58cc
FTI custom cam
Comp Pro Magnum rockers
Aeromotive AFPR
GT40 (ported by TMoss)
I am hoping for somewhere in the neighborhood of 290-300 rwhp, althought I'm not terribly concerned with peak numbers. Also, I painted everything on my engine (bracketing, intake MAF, etc. etc.) gloss black with red trim, so I'll post some pics when everything is put back together. I can't wait!
Thanks for any suggestions.
