ok everyone... here is the start to my engine teardown/build-up.... my due date is october 1st (sevenstock is the 28th..so it has to have time to break-in).. i will constanly be updateing w/ pics and progress all the way through the build... as most already know, this will be a very nice motor when completed... so enjoy...


first installment..... the teardown! at this point i have the motor out, and am getting ready to do the prep work for the engine bay to be repainted to match the rest of the car.... theres a few pics of me in there (im the one w/ the tattooes) and one of me acting like a hillbilly.... enjoy! and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

:squint:

Is that the hillbilly pic? Or is that a "I love Lance Bass" pic?

Clean/nice FC. Wish I had the opportunity to do that.

lol... yeah, thats the hillbilly pic...... we had a long day, so i had a little fun:) since the car looked like a 4x4... i figured a hillbilly posing w/ it was perfect:)

the wheels are

sport max 962's
18x7.5 w/ 225/40zr18
18x9.5 w/ 255/35zr18

Choice B.

thats one hell of a build your doing right now i hope to do somethinng similar but with a different turbo setup i hope to get 400-450 RWHP out of my setup just got to wait till i get money and ill be on my way keep taking pics and updating i really want to see your engine when its done and all polished and powdercoated

nice build, but I dont like the wing

most people dont..which is why i love it! its very different! i try to think outside the box when building cars.....

conversely, i like to think inside the box when building cars. :)

I like to look at a girls box.

Anyways, that picture is hawt. Are you single?

lol.... i knew that pic wouls stir up shit:) nice avatar by the way.... look at the pic of me and look at my arm... right on the bend.... gotta love that clown:)

well, i got a little more work done yesterday and today...... i pressure washed the whole undercarriage... damn does it look "clean" under there... ugly, but clean..... i am 3/4 finished sanding the engine bay in preperation for paint....

my new rebuilt bridgeported engine will be back in my hands this week... cant wait to see that beautiful thing... ill post pics as soon as i get it.....

whos building the engine?

guitarjunkie from this site..... or his website is www.rotaryheads.com

very nice build. i got you pic on my myspace showin all how mine is gonna look once i get it done. Im doin royal blue or daytona blue(350Z). I just broke a timing belt on my maxima, so i can save money like crazy now not payin gas and insurance. and fix the rx7 soon. But, I gotta go give my friend the money for the S5(1989) shell. Your car is a great inspiration to me im sure alot others too. Keep up the good work.

wow! thanx..... i really apriciate that! whats your myspace addy? id like to see my car:) you can pm me if you prefer to keep it descrete

yea

yea. no problem. Ive always liked your car. cept stickers werent my taste. but u had the power to back up the looks. can't wait to see your painted or is it powdercoated engine? sure it'll look nice.


edit:oh yea. pm sent.

not a bad looking project

props

the engine is just being painted.. no powdercoating:( unfortunatly i dont have the funds right now to do that... i need this thing done by sevenstock, and i still have a few thousand dollars in parts to buy.... so ive had to sacrifice a few things (powdercoating, and polishing) but as soon as sevenstock is done, im pulling all parts back off to get polished... the powdercoating will happen on my next block

Only on a rotary forum folks :D

what color orange is that
