I'll give you a $10 rental fee, set something up with Hollyweird so they get included with the torque plate as it travels to lonely, sad, broke individual after lonely, sad, broke individual. :)

LOL, you rented the plate from Hollywood? Thats funny.

I guess I assumed MAP would just have one or would've bought one.

Rods come in wednesday, motor is done machining and being assembled.

I think all gaskets are in from mitsu.

Head will *hopefully* be done thursday or friday, I have my fingers mega crossed! Cams, valves, valvesprings, headstuds, and a new disc for the act 6-puck are in and ready to rock.

Saturday night I sold my stock-ish FMIC, gonna ship it out tomorrow. I was kinda freaking out about what to do but finally a deal came through for me:

Buschur Race FMIC. 4.5 x 18 x 12 Garret core, 972ci--this is one of the biggest and best flowing cores on the market. I will have to do a wee bit of grinding to get it in but I will have one less excuse for pump gas powa now. :) This is step 1 to a bigger/later project I had originally planned to do over the winter involving the LICP, TB, and IM that has now been put off for a long, long time. Stock stuff will have to suffice I guess :D

Honestly the biggest advantage I have over your build is time of year; your car broke at the absolute worst time. Aside from some parts being on backorder, there haven't been too many delays other than me making decisions.

I did the math this morning, the new core vs the old core is 972ci vs 648ci, it is 150% the size of my old core but the same frontal area.

That's a big core, haha.

Yea, 6 weeks for a shortblock sucked. Delays are great for saving money though :)
