A Few New Projects to Keep Me Busy...
Well, picked up the ol' 12a from storage today, along with the other half of my -SE 13b. Got everything off but the Intake mani and exhaust manifold:
Hopefully I can tear it apart and see whats up with it. I remember it being hard to start and very lumpy when it ran. I am thinking of a tossed apex or corner seal. Either way, both engines will be needing a new housing and rotor...
You can see the 13b in the background. I have some half bridgeport 12a irons I will be tossing on, but I have no clue which engine to build. The porting on here is on the smaller side, so I will be using the complete 12a's irons to practice my porting on and get comfortable with. Half street/bridge? Full street? All out Bridge powah? 12a, so I can drop it right in, or 13b, for most power? Who knows.......
Oh, and one question, I have what look like small dimples on the center Iron. This is the best pic I could take with detail. Is this iron trash?
And my final project, and this should not take me very long. Sam gave me his old sunroof from his FB a while back. I plan on cutting the sunroof part out (trying to find an easy way to explain it) from the inside of the car, so when you look down from outside, you will not see the latch or rubber, but looking up at it from the inside and it looks like you dont even have the sunroof on.
Tis me projects! I will be gettin rid of all the engine peripherals, dont think I will be needing them. I will update this thread whenever I feel progress has been made
