Just Got My Shortblock, Getting it ready.

[VETTE_50_TH]

After waiting about 3 months for the engine builder to finish the engine, i finally picked it up today. Its all done. The best part was how much it cost for him to do it all. $271 to do everything. Degrease it, polish and mic the crank, bored and honed the block .020 over put the pistons on the rods and assemble everything. Also put in new oil galley plug, new freeze plugs, arp mains, eagle rods and wiseco pistons. He also surfaced the deck and check for levelness. I will have pics tomorrow. I just ordered all new oem stuff for it too. Water pump, oil pump, rear main seal, gasket, and case, all the oem bolts for the short block and strainer. Then soon too have the BSE and gears for the oil pump. So excited. Tell me what you think.

Richs Automotive Machine Shop, RAMS, if your ever in town. Really nice guy and does a good job. Im not sure how he can do stuff for so cheap but, hey, it was done right so, im happy. He does mainly V8 stuff, but lately he says has had a lot more 4 cylinder engines come in.
My plans for the car for this year is just to use my current turbo, evo3, and get a nice FMIC, 750cc injectors and dsmlink. Also would like my tranny redone. We will see.
