as you all know i crashed grampa real bad..... so here is great grampa .... he needs werk ( alot) but is a good car overall . first thing the motor was locked up so it had to come out .

on with the carnage .

found a broken valve spring .. exh cyl no.3 counting from timing side. sad thing is it was a real nice pnp job too.

2 coils out on all 4 corners .. stock fe-3 springs .. this is just an experiment .. but fun to see .

was good for a 4 finger drop !
 
so its been a min...

its obvious im going boost . i have received my 8.5:1 wiseco slugs .. main studs should be in wed. then block goes to machine shop ...

so while im building im getting bored since i sold the single nozzle 100 shot wet kit i had in the car .

cured the boredom . keep note the kit is on loan so im using what was given to me .... i just made existing shit werk on my intake . im not spending $ on some i cant keep so it will look like poo but go like stink ,.
