I decided, I'm sick of walking through the garage everyday passing my beautiful Formula and the nice shiney shortblock sitting next to it on the stand. This weekend I'm going to clean up the engine bay and put the shortblock back in the car and hook it back up to the 700r4. Once I know the engine runs good and everything is right, then I'll toss the 700r4 and put in the T56. I'll finish up the motor this winter but I need to see some progress on it now so I don't lose interest. I still am deciding on an s/c but might just stick with the 10:1 compression n/a. It will be finished by the end of March, T56 and all. wow, I'm actually excited now.

 

so your gonna install the motor this weekend? I take it no one ever bought the heads? so when will it be driveable?

 

I sold the heads about a month ago. Actually one of Travis's friends found them on Craigslist but we didn't know we both knew Travis till I got down there. I'm just installing everything but heds/cam/intake right now. It'll be driveable in Feb/March. I was having second thoughts on the heads, if I wanna go s/c I need bigger combustion chambers as those were only 65cc.
