well i finally got done with all the porting cleaning and pretty much everything for my motor. this was suppose to be my summer project but shops took longer than they said to complete tasks. i'm going back to school tomorrow and i'm only going to have the weekends to work on my car now. can someone give me an actual estimate on exactly how long it'll take(how many weekends) to put the motor together, drop in the car, and get it running.

 

First time? Have you clearence everything yet? Do you have all the little stuff, RTV, lube of some sort?

 

yeah first time, and yeah i have that stuff

 

3-4 hours checking clearances and tolerances
5-6 hours building motor

depends on mods & accessories, etc how long it takes to get back in the car

try to work with someone who has done it before...things will go smoother.

 

i go pretty quickly, mabye 2-3 hours for a complete motor.
