I'm back to work this weekend. :(

Nope, got other things going on.
Soon, hopefully in time for the end of the monsoon.

Love it, street credit.

In all seriousness, good deal to get it back on the road. Not enough DSM around anymore.

[Goat Blower]

True that.

In all seriousness, good deal to get it back on the road. Not enough clean/solid DSMs around anymore.

Fix.t :hehe:

On Saturday my daughter and I made the drive up to Grand Rapids to buy the Built short block from Dark2g. The motor looks great. He and his friends were really cool and have a nice shop to work out of. it was really nice meeting you guys.

Yesterday I finally got the old motor out of the car, and disassembled. Its not good so far I think the only parts I've found that are reusable are the cams, oil pickup tube, and the piece that goes around the rear main seal.

So at this point I'm in need of
2G head
front cover / oil pump
oil pan
baffle plate

we agree fun meeting you as well. I will take a look in the garage tomorrow and see if we have any parts to help you out for sure. I assume andre had an oil pan to give you. idk i'll deff check though. Also I would not feel comfortable reusing the pickup tube but thats me. I also hope the tubo is ok.

Thanks. If I do reuse the pick up it will be cleaned multiple times. The turbo exhaust inlet had a lot of stuff in it from the cylinder that the valve broke. The wheels look fine and there is no shaft play but I will probly have it rebuilt just to make sure its good to go.

God that's a lot of destruction for a 16G car.
