Old motor hurt? Or just want a more boost friendly one?

More goodies to get things moving this coming weekend. Hoping to have the car in and start tearing it down in early December!

Got some work done last weekend. More parts filing in slowly. Got my CHE trunnions installed and RKT got the trans done and is working on the rear. Still waiting on shipping confirmation on the procharger head unit and incidentals and A&A brackets.

Trans and rear done and bolted together. Heading to the shop tomorrow to install the cam, measure pushrod length and get other incidentals put together. Looks like it's raining parts so more pictures to come soon!

Today we made some great progress on getting the engine ready to go in. Windage tray, oil pan, oil pump, front cover, rear cover and swapped the cam out. Looking forward to getting my 10-rib balancer, measure for push-rods and then start getting the brackets on that I can. I'm also going to get the bell housing mounted once the old drive-train is out so I can clearance for the headers. Also need to send the clutch away to get it rebuilt into a triple.

Made some progress today. Unpacked the mountain of parts, got the car on the lift and pulled the old A&A kit off and drained the fluids. Some before pictures and a comparison of the T-trim coming off and the F1-X going on.

Awesome! Don't your brake lines being that tight make you cringe? I know it does me. Curious what you used to plug the lines on both ends?

What kind of work was done on the Brodix heads? Out of the box or someone go through them?

The builder had them sent to West Coast Cylinder Heads for port softening and then assembled them with titanium intake and inconel exhaust valves, CHE guides and PAC1208X springs.
