    New project

    As some of you know, this car was unmolested. Only thing done was a set of dealer installed motorsport shorties and a BBK pipe with cats. Thats it. Nothing else. I got it from the original owner and now it begins. Starting with a simple cam swap for now. As you can see in the pictures, I had some oil leaks. Now I know where from. the original cork VCG's were hard as a rock and the bolts were finger loose. A round with the welder to fill some holes and some paint and the engine bay should look nice. Did the drivers side last weekend. Cam this weekend and the rest this week while the thing is torn apart. Pice will be updated as I take them.

    PS, Jarad, dont ever try this on your own!!!!

    More. I figured that since the gasket kit came with head gaskets, I might as well pull them too seeing as they sometimes go bad. Gave me a chance to check the valves and cylinders too. Still has the factory cross hatch and no ridge at all. This motor must have been babied...until I got it!!! HAHAHA My bud was fooling with the cam and caught me off gaurd.

    HAHA Sorry Jared.

    I know Tim, the holes suck real bad. Mow with the motor basically torn all the way down, I have a ton of room. I am going to re-do that side and fill the holes that I did not use for the coil bracket. I forgot I had the Fireball coil and that saves a few holes. Took everything off the firewall a little while ago. Prepping that tomorrow for the finishing touches. Passenger side I think has more holes than the drivers side did. I am gonna be there for a long time welding. Those long tubes go in the drivers side with the heads off. You think I need to pull the motor to do the passenger side? HAHA

    Thats what I was thinking too. My buddy that was here watching could not belive his eyes. The cylinders were almost new. Wish my parts were now so I could re-assemble. At least it gives me time to do the engine bay and make it pretty.

    Nothing really. Not right now anyways. Doing alot to the house this year. We agreed that I will be doing a big motor build next summer. I am just basically doing the head gaskets because they come in the kit I bought and to have a piece of mind that they are new and good. Besides, number 5 cylinder metal ring did not look good. It was only a matter of time until it went.

    Nope. I actually put those on a band saw and cut one in half to see the ports and how much I had to work with. I am going to put some time in the other ones I have here and see what kind of flow numbers I can come up with. I gotta guy who will flow them for me for nothing. Just need to help him out some with his work. I have another iron in the fire for some heads that I will more than likely get.
