I bought the car about 2 years ago as a shell and sourced everything to get it in running condition. It still needs work and I will be pulling the engine soon for a complete rebuild.

Finally took the block and crankshaft to the machine shop for servicing. Boring over and crankshaft polish.

On a separate thread I posted my cylinder block had ribbed cylinder walls on cylinder 2 and 3. This is what I found.

I had ordered new balance shaft bearings prior to the tear down but will no longer be keeping the balance shafts.

Gas tank cleaned inside n out and re installed.
I got my block back from the machine shop yesterday and will be ordering everything I need by today. Had to go .040 over on the pistons to get everything cleaned up but excited to get this thing finished soon.
Crankshaft remained at standard spec.

Well I finally dropped in the engine today.
Unfortunately I didn’t use the eagle rods because I ordered the wrong pistons :banghead:

Regardless my main priority isn’t huge power but a nice clean dsm but it would have been nice.

I updated the valve cover as well from the hideous lime green. No disrespect to Paul walkers eclipse :p

Started to buff out some scratches since she’s almost ready. I’ve only done a 20 minute cycle and drain since the rebuild because I don’t have tags. She hasn’t been registered since 2007 :toobad: . I will get some temp tags tomorrow and get to proceeding with the engine break in.
