Well the rebuilt short block is in (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It's never easy, but this time it was insane! I was working alot just to pay for this (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Plus pulling everything apart and putting it all back together a few hours every night and the weekends in 95 to 110+ deg heat.
There are some people I gotta thank first of all..... My wife..... just kidding (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) Vic over at Performance Speed & Machine for not butt raping me (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) on the short block! AndyJ for sending me some stuff I needed badly (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) SteveD at Prostop Performance for going WAY out of his way to get me some brake line's (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banana.gif) Tony Guaglione at Hiline motorsports and Carbotech for rushing(making) a set of pads to me (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) And everybody here (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/hail.gif) I have been using the search option alot! Here are some pics of this round of mods The motor, notting special.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/7de9211d.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/53f1cb75.jpg Modified water pump http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/ee3f0185.jpg Oil recovery/ HVAC removed http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/DSC01079.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/DSC01080.jpg 996 setup http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/2fb78ada.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/DSC01081.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/DSC01084.jpg Some stuff to make it a little safer on track! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/DSC01102.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/1fc94db3.jpg Now I have to get out there and do the alignment........

Congratulations .. I hope the 3rd time's the charm! And that all looks very nicely done. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Hot weather sucks for working on cars--my lungs can't take the fumes/smells when it gets hot. They close up like some valve... Remember to give your lungs a break now that your car's done. What did you do for fixing up the roof on your t-top car? I see a pair of bolts sticking out on either side of the A-pillar at the top. I'm curious about that fix, since I've been mulling over something similar. Cheers, Nik -- Black LT1 twin turbo (2 years, 1 month of tinkering) |
