Went to the machine shop today and picked up:
1) freshly rebuilt 2.3T head, non-cracked, RR cam installed
2) 0.010" overground crankshaft
3) 0.030" overbore TRW forged flattop pistons on stock rods
All this to go into/onto my freshly tanked and honed 0.030" over 2.3T block, which is sitting on an engine stand at my buddy's house wrapped in saran wrap. It was already overbored when I got it, as were the TRWs that were in it, so I just had it honed. Pics of the block are on the 2nd page of my Cardomain - link in sig.
Also snagged a solid-looking T3 from an '86 TC at the junkyard a few days ago for $50. Zero shaft play, very minor cracks in the exhaust housing (normal).
This project is coming together!
