"project GSX" update #9

[jwcardy]

Well this isnt really an update on what i have managed to get done with the car, more of some of the things that i have picked up.

Got the stock shifter cleaned up and powder coated and put back together with new hardware. Pics dont really do it justice. I looks really good in satin black. Same color that i powder coated my front and rear subframes in

My kiggly girdle...going to be picking up a set of jayracing main caps also to go along with the girdle to keep everything nice and stout.

My dvdtfab mechanical fuel pump drive bracket. Yes, im am going to do it. This thing is very nice!

Im doing all my own assembly work to the block so i just picked up a few tools to double and triple check mine and my machinists work along the way. I have a couple other engine builds for other people going on too so these will come in handy more than once.

Digital caliper

rod bolt stretch gauge.

Micrometer set

Dial bore gauge

let me know what you guys think
thanks

You must make 100k a year to have all these parts. Looks like it's going to be a sick build though. I don't know about you but I don't think the main caps are a good investment.

the mains are just something ive been tossing around...but seriously thinking about...an no, not 100k a year
