Just sharing my build

Blew my motor back in October. I saw it as a good thing only because my engine bay was crap and needed alot of work. Decided to to everything right and make it look like a new car. This is when i started to take everything apart.

Got the engine bay painted in Black. Thought it would look sick with the outside red and engine bay black.

Then the fun began, lots of wrenching. Putting the body back together. Snad blasted all my parts getting it ready for powdercoating.

Even with the E85? Must have been pretty far off on timing and/or split

not being fully tuned it is pretty easy to blow your motor, you can literally do it one time extended full boost

looks good!
