"The Red Baron" My build to 350 FWHP

[Blu90GST]

I'll start from the beginning. I bought this pretty little girl the day after Christmas last year, pulled her home on about a 3 hour drive, that ended in a dent on the drivers rear quarter panel right behind the door

Replaced the head with one I pulled off an old 90 gst that looked recently rebuilt and drove it for around a month until the car decided to start dying when pulling up to stop lights/ signs etc. I did a compression test and found cyl. 3 at 85 psi, at this point I was done with messing around and pulled the block out of the 90 gst and off to the machine shop it went. Right now I'm waiting on my measurements for what needs to be bought for the rebuild. Here's what I've got for now though:

-Arp main studs, rod bolts, and head studs
-BSE kit from STM
-STM EGR blockoff plate
-OEM 6 bolt pistons
-AISIN water pump
-Gasket kit (not sure which one, any suggestions would be helpful)
- New Spectre N/T oil pan that will be drilled for a -10an oil drain

Right now I'm waiting on my machinist and my check, so I'll update when I get word about either.

I applied for a loan today so that I can get my rebuild going, :fingerscrossed:

Dont take this the wrong way but its definately not wise to borrow money to modify/build a car as there's many risks (accident, theft etc) . As others might or might not say save your money and do it so its all free and clear.

But on a side note car looks good and keep us updated
