eddie just did my motor about a month ago, good guys over there.

 

[AN/GSC-52]

Yes, I'm very excited Eddie is doing my motor, he called today with an update. I appreciate his honesty in what will work best and not just what adds to the build cost.
Got the ported intake from Champion today, what a great job they do, there web pics do not do their work justice. I'll post some up tomorrow.

 

[AN/GSC-52]

Got the intake back, champion does very nice work!

[AN/GSC-52]

Agreed, I was surprised by the amount of porting done. I sent them a nice thank you email.

Now lets see how fast you can have it in the car and running.

 

[AN/GSC-52]

It's up to my part suppliers. Keep running into small things I need.

 

[AN/GSC-52]

Who sells bolts for these valve covers?

 

[TurboBuRick]

Excuses, excuses.

Looks good though. Do you plan to drop it in complete? Tans and all?

[AN/GSC-52]

lol, I detail as I go.
I'd like to, but I think I'm going to do engine and then tranny. More manageable and less risk.

 

[AN/GSC-52]

on more

 

[TurboBuRick]

I put them in complete by myself. Do you have a plenum strap? That's key.

Pic's are really nice.

[AN/GSC-52]

No, do you have a link to one? I used the top cross support of the lift to pull with a come along. Cherry picker doesn't look like it would reach. Just concerned the top support can handle all the weight?

I have an older chery picker. Extends way out. Plenty of reach.

Do a search. I have a thread that has pics of a install using the strap. One of best things I ever bought.
