Project "Smackdown" is almost ready to start
(well.. the labor part anyway)
Hey Guys,
I posted a month or so ago about my engine upgrade project. For the members who wanted to follow along I have complied a list of pain (the cost) of what I smacked down on the wallet. All of these parts are paid for and I am just waiting for the heads to show up. Once I get the heads from AFR I will tackle this upgrade in one long sweat ridden bloody weekend.
Then after it roars to life I will keep you updated on any tuning, kills, and trips to the track along with engine manners.
:seeya
*EDIT* The headgasket is the price for each, you need 2.

Right on! I am waiting my heads (LT4) and cam etc. to arrive and I'll be
putting my package together. Keep us updated! I'm sure you're excited.
I know I can't wait to get my new setup dialed in!

Your going to have a killer of a car when your done. I'm glad to see you are almost there.
I didn't see a new waterpump in the list though. Good time for the mezier.
Keep us posted :cheers:

You will love it. I just came from the track specting only :cry
I have to wait for my tranny to come. I know how you feel about waitig for the heads.
I would leave more than a weekend for the buildup, You don't want to have to do it twice. :cheers:
