Hi my name is Jon and its time i start a build thread for my brothers car. He does not have time to keep one up to date and I do most of the planing anyways.
Some quick history of the car it was his daily driver back in 07-09. In between that time the ringland gave out and he had it rebuilt by a local he put about 3000 miles on it before a valve bunt in the reman head that was bought for it. At this point he wanted that he wanted to go faster and put a turbo on. So I helped him build a new motor it was 10.5 comp motor with stage 3 crower cams. we tuned it on ms2. I had just got the tune to ware was running good and told him one more pull and we would quit for the day mid pull i looked back and there was a little smoke. Pulled up to the house pulled out the plugs and one had the ceramic off of it. With in the next few days he lost interest in having it as a street car and said race car only on the next build .
With this in mind we slowly started to collect parts. For a full race engine and sold some of the parts we wouldn't be reusing. Then sum time pasted as he got married and I was away at school. In that time I was following the stock block cars and then thought that we should see what a stock block can do. I went to a Pick & Pull junkyard the engine came out of a 96 eclipse with 126k on it.
The goals for the car run 14.6 NA, get the weight down to 2000 with out driver and then put the turbo on and boost it till she blows. Turbo never made it on we did run 14.26 all motor with the stock bottom end I believe this makes us the fastest non turbo stock bottom end 420A.

The name 8Bolt started with a joke at the tristate dsmtuners meet when my brother told a guy that the car had an 8 bolt engine in it he was shocked he then told him that we added an extra bolt to hold all the power before telling him that it was a 420A and the name just stuck.
