Ryan have you torn down that old engine yet (heads off) to see what the issue was? That old engine seems perfectly fine i wouldn't send it off to the bone yard. Try selling that ****zle. (unless you already are and i missed that post )

nice work ryan,

usually if i stare at my engine bay long enough i start seeing 4v cobra engines and fire breathing dragons, so to only come up with filling the holes, you must not be what im on.

i would hid the wires, and f' the holes its a big job and will take you a while, hiding the wires is easy

yeah its nice. the guy thinks its a cobra though since it has a real cobra upper and lower intake....yet it still has E7's ha. but t70 single turbo. either of the fox's have been tuned yet and thats what there waiting for.

anyways...

hot tanked. block prep is next then put cam bearings in freeze plugs. ect. then ready to assembly!

i know a guy running a 92 5.0 230k mile motor and it runs 9.80s on a turbo! IT IS A WASTE OF TIME PUTTING DIFFERENT PISTONS AND RODS IN THAT MOTOR! CLEAN IT UP AND THROW IT IN!!!!!!!!!!!

well im not that guy bud. i do it how i want it. why its my build thread lol

ok well i started stripping the engine bay tonight. now ive run out of primer so a little over half the bay is primmed with one coat. its 5am parts stores dont open till 7am. so at 6 im going to go get breakfest then get back at it!

i can now see im an idiot. the place that painted the car back in 01 sprayed rubber under coating over the rusty frame rail on the driver side and did a hill by repair. its really bad the more i dug into it. bad enough to where a few hard launches at the track with the new motor and it wouldn't surprise me if the k-member wouldn't of ripped away from the car. the passenger side is perfect. of course that's what happen when a car sits under a car port for 90% of its life with the passenger side to the house and drive side exposed. right now.

i wish i was older and when these cars came out bought a new one. i hate hillbilly repairs that retarded owner do!

to fix it im going to have to drop the k-member and get it out of the way. so i highly doubt the car will see the road untill spring of 2010 now.
