Ok, a slight change in plans... Turns out I got my oil pump but no gears for it... Opps on my part, so now I won't have it back until after the weekend... Oh well, looks like I'll just have to party for 4 consecutive days instead. lol

The complete gasket kit runs about 150 bucks, the weisco pistons were about 450, and the fp2 cams were about 400...

Just as an added update, I am actually gonna have the motor back tomorrow and start putting it back in the car hopefully.

Blackcrow64 · 03-27-2007, 03:11 PM

I know everybody has been anxiously awaiting this day! (I know I have!!)

The motor is finally back!!!!!!

With many pictures to compliment it...

Ohhhh What could be in that bag? (It was raining on the trip home. lol)

Ohhhh a motor!!!

So clean!

Ahhh a close up!!!

And last, but not least... Your extremely happy moderator! lol (I can already imagine the many captions that could go with this picture, but I don't even care. lol)

Ima be the first to make a comment.... I'll be good and won't say nothing.

Get that motor in already.

Nice hat. Summit? What are you advertising now.

blk_srt · 03-27-2007, 05:42 PM

nice product placement

EDMUND65 · 03-27-2007, 07:34 PM

valve cover is dirty... lol is it in yet? whats it run? come onnnn brian!!!! is that my block?

Blackcrow64 · 03-27-2007, 09:58 PM

I didn't even think of the hat being in the picture...

Don't worry, that is definetly not the valve cover thats going on it... I got something sweet coming... Hehe...

So far I had some complications... A nice bolt broken off in the block that the machine shop never took out. Unfortunatly I needed the hole for the carrier bearing... Or so I thought... After spending some time on it trying to get it out and pretty much screwing up that hole, it was figured out that I could avoid using that hole. I never gave it any thought that there is a bracket underneath the AC compressor that the carrier bearing also bolts to. The bracket has 3 of the 4 holes to bolt down and both of my carrier bearing bolts can go in just fine now...

So... Tomorrow morning I will be cleaning many parts/accessories and prepping them to be put on the motor. I am currently ordering my new timing belt cover, injectors, and pump and I should be good... This weekend... Oh buddy... I'm off from work and I'm gonna have that thing in and moving right along. I still have to wire up my gauges (procrastinator) and rewire the CAS and put in my fuel pump... Uhh... I'm sure theres many other little details I will forget about as I go on...

So thats about it for tonight.

Mikelb · 03-28-2007, 07:22 AM

Damn... good stuff.... keep us posted man, I look forward to seeing the final product and some sweet timeslips and vids

Black99GST · 03-28-2007, 03:00 PM

SWEET! i'm excited for you! i cant wait to see some videos of that bad boy!

Blackcrow64 · 03-29-2007, 12:36 PM

Well I went and polished my stock intake manifold this morning... I didn't do it quite as nice as my other things since I plan on swapping it out for a different one next season...

I also realized that the guy who assembled it put the 6 bolt motor mount on it again, so you know what that means... My ass has to take all the timing off again just to change that shit. I'm about sick of running into problems, I just wanna drop it in!

Oh and I lost my pressure plate to top it all off... Freakin great...

Just one question, if I may Brian;

how

oh how..

just how in the world...

did you lose a pressure plate?

I mean, okay, it's small item and all

secrets safe, it took me 2 hours one day to find a ciruclar saw I was just using and set down.

lol Well I had a pile of spare pressure plates and I made sure to put my good one on top... Well... Its not exactly there now and I'm not sure where it coulda went to. lol

I'm hoping somebody didn't take off with it when visiting the shop one day.

Hopefully I find it... If not then I guess I'll just have to buy a better one. lol
