Basically refreshing the motor after a failure on the front iron around the water jacket seal. Trying some porting out. Gonna install new intercooler and get rid of ugly piping going across engine and redo gauges inside. Oh and make new front pipe as well.

Going to bigger injectors 4x1600, possibly switching from Microtech to Motec, installing fuel cell and lines, more rear suspension crap, cleaning everything up, maybe some paint. Too much stuff to do and events don't stop down here in FL.

Nice stuff going on there guys. dkwasherexd that intercooler is massive.

ivegonemad.. is that a 60-1 I peep?

Well I attempted to start mine Yesterday and it made 0 oil pressure. It only ran for a minute seriously and I got worried. Turns out my dumbass Fed up the keyway on the oilpump resulting in killing one of the front needle bearings and the rear thrust plate. I did pull the stationary gear and inspect the bearing and it looked normal. Also put as much assy lube in there as I could and primed the oil pump while I had it apart. Gonna reassemble and try again tomorrow.

I'm gonna start by rebuilding the engine in my FD, then i'll be working on a replacement block for my GTUs...then start the body work on the GTUs as well.

Once the GTUs is done, then the FD goes down again for body and such...
