Project Fast Spyder

[Super Bleeder!!]

Good choice using John Gosh!! I did all my machine work through him as well.

He is very good. He already did my head last year. But the crank had to be sent out to get re nitride(or something like that) coated because in needed to be ground down 10 under.

I had mine done like that also. It took a long time. Different place though.

Installed my Aeromotive fuel filter and FPR. Here are some pics.







I still need to buy a fuel pressure gauge. Anyone know whats good and what would look good? Im looking for a black one.

[FattyBoomBatty]

You need a mechanical Fuel pressure gauge and you need to mount it outside the cabin on the hood. That would look best.

So how is everything looking? Get your motor back yet?

[blageo23]

No motor yet. Im getting kinda disapointed its been so long. 4 Weeks for machine work? Besides that everything is good.

[92EvilTalon]

Um...an update please? But let me guess still no motor?

[blageo23]

WRONG! Picked up the motor on tues night!
Put the rear main seal on and the front cover and water pump. Went to put the oil pan on and its the wrong one. The oil pan that came off the engine is currently getting a 10AN bung welded on for the oil return. Will get pics of the engine ASAP!

How can you possibly work in a garage thats that messy? Otherwise it looks great.

[blageo23]

I know, Its bad! But honestly I know where everything is.

[crazy_skier]

thats how it always is.... just wait for reassembly. Mine wasnt half as bad and I had some things missing.... finally found them a month later

Here are some pics of the engine.

Little Update:
Got my gauges installed(not 100% wired up yet tho)
I think It makes it look nice!
Top-AEM Wideband Gauge
Middle-AEM Boost Gauge
Bottom-AEM Serial Gauge

You are a baller.


Looks nice. It will be badass when it is finished.

[blageo23]

Finally got some time to work on it again. Today I put in the engine, tranny, tcase, exhaust, finished fuel and did some more wiring under the hood.
I hit a snag when I lined up the intercooler piping but I turned it around and fliped it upside down and it will work(kinda ghetto tho.
Here are some pics...







I had that bung welded in so you couldnt see it... so much for that!
