vipers blog..star date rx-789.. engine build.. pics
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!

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.

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
