87 gxl-

assemble the s5 block that i have laying around...
AFTER i send the irons and housings off to be ported.
and, while it's all torn down, install the act s/s clutch and pp that i bought

my motivation for all this being the fact that my engine right now probably won't make it until next spring (170k with massive coolant and oil leaks), so if i want to have a car to drive, i'll get it together.

My next big mod?

RB headers
RB Presilencer
RB catback exhaust...duals.
total: $987
Almost have the amount to get the whole set, but I have to save over that amount.
almost forgot, a cd player that actually continues to work when I hit bumps. I hate the factory one.
