961, RE: Spy photos of my new engine... Posted by phatGS, Apr-21-01 02:44 PM May be a stupid question, but what happened, did you blow it? I don't really follow the turbo section that much since I'm not (yet). | |

963, RE: Spy photos of my new engine... Posted by Stan2gnt, Apr-21-01 05:11 PM Yeah engine pics are sweet. Only wish I had took some picw with the head still off to see the shinny pistons (Oh well there dirty now anyway). Next time It wont be a header bolted to it either. | |

964, RE: Spy photos of my new engine... Posted by BLKOUT, Apr-21-01 05:30 PM No, I didn't blow it, that is my old engine just re-built. I guess I should have said improved engine rather than new. I blew the stock clutch up at the end of last year, so when I replaced it I went ahead and did the whole engine. I added Crower rods, Wiseco pistons, the recip. assy was balanced, and all the usual crap included in a rebuild. I also put in RC 440's. Besides that, I did alot polishing, painting and some chroming. I will put up some pics of everything when it's all done. | |

965, RE: Spy photos of my new engine... Posted by phrenzy, Apr-21-01 08:51 PM Hey BLKOUT, The motor looks great! I bet it'll run really nice with all the new goodies too...Good luck! Also, how exactly are you polishing? What's involved? The valve cover for example, that looks really good and I'd like to attempt it when I do my internals a few months from now. | |

970, RE: Spy photos of my new engine... Posted by BLKOUT, Apr-23-01 12:53 PM Thanks alot guys. I just got done putting the engine & tranny back in. The car should be done by this week-end. Phrenzy, I didn't do the polishing myself. I attempted it, but it's just too hard and time consuming to do without a big machine. | |

971, RE: Spy photos of my new engine... Posted by Skrilla, Apr-23-01 05:04 PM ...did you rebuild the engine yourself or are you just swapping in the rebuilt engine? | |
|
972, RE: Spy photos of my new engine... Posted by BLKOUT, Apr-24-01 02:56 AM The engine is my factory engine, I just built it up. I didn't actually do the building of the bottom end, I had a shop do that. Other than that, I have done all the work myself. Hopefully it will run as good as it looks. :) | |
