On a Jet Plane,
Illinois
in my last post, I think I mentioned something how the engine surprised me with needing machine work. One would think that by now I would've learned that nothing gets by "easy" with this car.
Still love it, though.
Anyways, the machine shop told me that I should see the engine mid-April. It is being bored over .020, line honed, maganfluxed, balanced, cleaned, ect. The crank is being polished, as well. Don't recall the entire list since it is not in front of me.
So now just got to order up the bearings, balance shaft elimator kit, and a head gasket. Cometic seems to be in order for the gasket. However, I am not sure as to which one yet. I'm going to need a thicker one, since the head was fubared and needed to be milled quite a bit. .040 quite a bit. Darn kids overheating their cars.
I just sent out the 2gb bumpers and 2ga twisty sideskirts for paint.
What else.. oh! Located some more black/grey panels for the interior swap.
That's about it for now. Back to the waiting game.....
Here's a pic of the car back on all fours.
