Build Thread My Never Ending 89 Notch Thread

TREMEC is sold . Got the b&m stealth pro rachet coming that I am prob going to mount in the stock shifter hole with the stick shift boot .

Motor is going to come out after thanksgiving I think. It's going to be a long road unless money falls from the sky . Still shooting to have the car out April or may though . We'll see

Yeah so this happened today
 
This is what to much pressure and no intercooler looks like . Lol Kris warned me . I played and rolled the dice. Needless to say it's getting meth .

All the bearings look great and seem to have normal wear no heavy grooves . Crank looks great . Except the thurst bearing . But that's to be expected with a blower car with a stick . Cyl has a light score mark that I can barely get my finger in . So I'm thinking with a light puff it will be fine .

So what do you do to fix the head Jeff?

Mill that sucker add compression then use wmeth to stave off detonation.:D


Or maybe not....:scratch:

Weld up the spot have it milled back down.

The heads needs seals and stuff too . I planned on maybe selling them and getting 205s but the current situation puts them at not being worth much the way they sit . Waiting on email back from fox lake. They can get them to flow almost as much as the 205s do with their cnc program .

And it will take care of the valve guides and seals as well .

Waiting on a call back for a round about price on refreshing the short block as well .

What heads do you have? I thought you were already running 205s.
