Rebuild looks like will commence in 2 1/2 weeks after the last few parts arrive.... approx 150 act. hours to be completed over two weeks. Then comes the custom paint job: Collector Edition Silver... Grandsport Style.

I will keep you posted with the progress & pics... and videos after motor rebuild

I CANT WAIT!

 

Looks like you have alot of work ahead of you!!!

 

Thats a lot a parts and lot a work, u said pill kit 6-6800 are u using MSD or compatible ignition box? and 4 pt roll cage : u just wanna use this to stiffen chasis or according to NHRA rukes ?. and i did not see any Head work or aftermarket heads and if u r using untouched original heads with that Camshaft i think it would be overkill on a stock heads, Remember Heads are more imp than camshaft.

Good luck man,

 

good luck! I expect it will be done by the end of March. These things take twice as long as estimated... then double that.

 

Other than the "Rear Bose Emblem Speaker Cover", everything else looks like a piece of cake!

good luck...lot's to do there

 

Autometer Shift light with built in module, will run a 6200 pill on a 6500 redline, Carputing LLC is going to be my tuning program.

i considered heads but dont have room in current budget- CNC Portjob on heads and intake would run about 1200 but then i would feel obligated to replace all of the internal bearings since i would have removed the heads, my friend with a 96 formula and 02 650+hp TwinTurbo Firehawk, said it would be a PITA to get get everything re-lined up if i untorqued the heads. I dont want to drop 2+ on AFR and i want everything motor wise to be "undoable" (even though i never will). I want the gains but not the headaches so ive decided stock heads for now. Ive already got a running total of about 10 in parts and i am getting the labor basically for nothing by my friends/coworkers at our vette dealership so im at my limit.

In about 2 years when the payments are done im redoing her with a supered' forged 383, i just want something fairly powerful i cant get used before the 383.

My exhaust should make up partially for the stock heads, she's abit too free flowing now but will leave room for growing. now LT's, no cats, 3" FULL MANDRELS through 3" X to 3" I/O Flowmasters.- Loudest and best sounding Ive ever heard! I will post a vid soon

NCCC AutoX Group III Req.s- and custom 4pt because im going with the front facing sidebars with the standard roll bar rather than the rear two supports that will restrict me from storing the targa top in the back
