E85 This time or still Meth/race gas?
Are you getting another direct port system or this time planning blower only?
Sorry, didn't catch the questions until just now.
Race gas on kill and a mix when it's toned down for street pleasure.
I have easier access to race gas than I do E85.

No direct port for this one. Blower only for now, but may put a plate on it soon.

I'll update the thread later today with some pics.

Got my car completely disassembled and then had to put it part of the way back together so I could put it in storage while I work on other projects. To get it there, I decided to buy a winch for my trailer. I'm so glad I did. It made life more simple.



Made a cover to keep the rain out.



Unloading was easy. Tilt the trailer and reverse the winch.


I pulled the tranny to send it to my Korean brother from another mother and great trans builder, Rick Kim @ RKT56.com . I figured it would be a good time to give all the internals a look to make sure the gear box is in shape for the new power plant.



I went to see Taylor @ Dallas Performance. I shipped my engine and trans from there and couldn't believe all the beautiful Lambo builds going on.




Here's a local guy, Al's amazing car.... almost ready!!




And then there's the C6Z with the Harrop and the direct port kit.



with a wicked hand made intake.

I think that's the first pic I saw of your car with the new paint job, looks good.

You should buy an enclosed trailer, works out great for extra storage.

2. Your car looks really good.
3. That c6 Z06 is sick.

Thanks Jay, That's the nicest thing you've said to me all year......and it's not even my birthday.

I may increase the size of the front shield on this to better protect the car one day until I feel like throwing down the dough on an enclosed.

1. Thanks, no I just drive straight on. It's got torsion axles which keeps it really low to the ground so the tilt is a low incline.
2. Thanks.
3. Agreed. Taylor's got some talented people in the house.

Looking sweet Bret, the headlights look like crap, but the rest is topnotch!

Hope this motor stays together! Now you see why I love my stock motor, no problems, just get in and drive!

Bet you wish you still had your 402!

Hey Bret I may have missed this, but how long is it going to be until you get your new engine back?

Not a waxer thread about my headlights dude, but I'm never surprised at your comments.

Your stock motor is less reliable than a properly built motor with the right parts in it. My block broke in a place that it shouldn't have and GM stood behind it, providing me with a free replacement that has a better design with the water jacket weakness specifically addressed.
I don't wish that I still had the 402. It's all been fun and continues to be. When the fun's over, I'll sell it and move on.
I've said before that if you don't want things to break, keep it stock and look into "hypermiling".

Dunno, waiting on a few things including pistons. I'm working on a project for a customer right now and won't be done for about 6 weeks. I'm expecting that by the time I'm done, the motor will be ready for me.

Thanks. Nice meeting you too. You have a beautiful car. The pictures of it are great, but don't do it justice.
