Been awhile but finally buttoned up everyone else's projects and just concentrating on my own. Engine work all done just have to close it up and put it in the car and then concentrate on all the wiring and plumbing. A couple shots of the engine.

Are polished rotors to fight detonation? Does it help?

I not only polished my rotors but i got the whole damn thing chrome, they work great, and allow quick start up, and also allow not that much carbon build up on the rotors. But the only thing is if the motor is not going be built for a while and the rotors are polished or chromed out they are prone to getting surface rust if there not put in the right area away from moisture.

But that guys housing, rotors and plates look pretty sick.

Help by keeping carbon buildup off the rotors and helps fight detonation by not having hot spots because of carbon build up. If it were up to me next time I will just get them ceramic coated.

I looks like you cut your inner fender out. Did you do anything to strengthen the strut tower afterwards? If so you got any pics?

Nah, they are "MAC" spec ports. LOL. I have a specific way of making my ports. I scribe the leading edge of the sideseal and don't go past it so the leading edge of the sideseal is always supported and however late I want the closing. The Judge's actually drops the leading edge into the port which is not to my liking, it is a very good port, only if you know what you are doing. I notice a lot of people using his template but not using it properly and usually ends up with damaged sideseals. Car is coming along slowly but progress is being made. Hopefully up and running by early '07.

I have a 10pt cage which will be made into a 12pt shortly. I have to run bars from the cage inside and to the strut tower. Then a bar to join the bars going to the strut towers that will run right across the firewall. And then bars from the strut tower down to the frame. When I get it all done I'll post some pics up. Something like this but there will be a bar running across the firewall. Kind of like a strut bar.

Car is at my friends shop getting the finishing touches on the cage, also getting mini tubed, fiberglass frontend getting mounted and leafsprings getting moved in, hopefully will fit 26x10's under her. But once I get her back I'm gonna be a busy ****. This is the closest I've been to completing it and man I'm getting excited. Don't know how but I keep getting engine jobs from people. Quit sending referals Manny! LOL... And I'll take shots of the shitbox and post them up later. Stop by the house *** (ref. to Manny)
