wondered if you dropped something on your head again?!!!

good thing it's just the block. as I understand it, you can use any 1.3l block...

lol! no, I didn't even get under the car this time. I took it out the top!
here's a couple pics.. Also, I can't use just any 1.3 block :( I need an 89-94 G13B block. Unfortunately, the G13B only came in the GT engine from 89-94, 95-01 4 cyl metros used a G13B block for the SOHC engine, but it has holes drilled for a crank sensor. Also there would be deck height issues for the pistons I ordered.

great pix Alan! Too bad about the block, let me know if you need anything. I recently stumbled accross a pic a part here in socal! they already know my credit card number!

Oh, by the way CONGRATULATIONS on your ascension to near demi-godness on the other forum you swap master you!
