Radio is in and working. Bluetooth and all BTW the speakers are shit.
Motor? what is that? i don't need no stinking motor.
Hopefully soon Sad part is is that it is now my fault it's getting delayed.

Trying my own dumb ideas

Crank doesn't spin freely on the block it goes half turn real nice and easy then just binds.

This is JUST crank and bearings NOTHING ELSE INSTALLED. Crank came out of this block and ran great for 12k miles now it doesn't work using the same bearings (coated) and i even tried another set of bearings that weren't coated and still the same binding.
Back to fucking machine shop jail.
This has me on the edge of moving away from the V6 and going to the 6.0 sitting in the garage.

What do you guys think about F-Body rear discs brakes with E-brake and all?
I have the complete setup sitting in the trunk and since the engine is now another six months away from getting done might as well keep moving in other areas of the build .
Would i need an f-body proportioning valve?
What about an adjustable proportioning valve , I have never used one but if i have to change the original one out why not?

since you have them off .. make sure your the brake setup will fit in your rims , if they fit . might as well do it ..
cant use the drum prop , you need a 4 whl disc prop valve or gut the original
dont think the fbody prop takes same fitting (metric bubble) as the gn (SAE inv flare), hiwaystars has the 4 whl prop
but without a motor i dont think youll notice the difference from drums

Do you have a write up or pictures on "swisscheesing" the front metal bumper support ?

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

Can't wait to get this pos done.
If it's not one thing it's another.

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

Heads are done and setup with Pac 1201 springs.
I'll post some pictures in a few.

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

Junk

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

Old springs VS new springs

Update
Crank was fixed and spun great, long block was assembled by Pacecarta, He also welded the egr port shut, ground out egr tower in the intake and also welded that shut.
I cleaned up the cluster fuck wiring mess by the starter and everywhere else in the engine bay.
Double pumper is in, teflon braided -8 feed and -6 return are in, hot wire and second pump wiring with a direct ground wire from battery by way of engine block battery cable.
Volt booster is in.
Still need to
order a heater control valve
Pipe the heat lines
install the Intercooler piping
Install rear springs and shocks.
As for exhaust i am planning on 3 straight through resonators/mufflers ONE 3" at the Cat location and 2.5" at the regular location. What do you think about that idea?

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

more stuff done
Pacecarta is awesome - guided me through the push to lock conversion stuff and on just about everything else ive done to this car.
Heater control valve is in with custom made plumbing
