Project Lex

No real ETA other than hoping by the end of the month.

Girdle is all set. I have to order slightly different bearings due to the girdle/studs affecting the circularity of the mains. So getting some new bearing sent to him and he will be line honing it.

Nice work so far on the motor!

He already has a strong tranny swap out of a 350z if I remember right.

Just waiting on new bearings to arrive and she will be all wrapped up. Painted the block a cast iron color and pistons /rods are ready to drop in.

I came. :wank:

[Halon]

Just about buttoned up. Hopefully pick it up very soon and (*gasp) pay the bill...

I have all the final measurements in place. So based on that I am choosing to run the Cometic MLS .027" thick Head Gasket. In the end based on my rough calculations I will end up with approximately 10.3:1 compression ratio and a .044 squish, which are numbers I'm very happy with.

So tempted to sell vette and do a project car. After seeing your car go from slow to pretty quick. Has me think of building a car. Can't wait to see this thing rocking the new motor and all the boost. Lol. Keep up the great work. Maybe you and Peter well race?

[Halon]

Ha maybe. We almost had a race setup last year, but there was a cop and I think he was on to us lol.
