My awaited day has finally come. I don't think I have to say what these pictures are :lala:

Was nice to meet someone from here face to face. Thanks Project85!

 

About 3-4 hours of labor later...

 

About 12 hours of labor later.... Stripped all way down, cleaned, painted, antifreeze plugs almost replaced. Heads are about half ported (need spring compressor).

 

So exactally what are you doing? Please tell me you didnt go to all the work of pulling your motor and taking off the heads just to paint it....Whats goin on here...

 

LOOKS GREAT
Like some of the cheerleaders at the football game!
Well, not exactly.......
Congradts!

 

that is project85's old 3.4l engine that I meet halfway and picked up yesterday. My engine is still in car so I can drive it back n forth to work.

Knowing hit had cought on fire, and I plan on SCCA'ing the car its going to go in, I pulled heads to do some porting, plus have machine shop do some work, and replace gaskets/seals check levelness due to excessive heat.

Plan is a hybird of about 5-7 different engine parts plus some aftermarket parts.

 

*drooool* I want one.. my turbo would be so happy.. but.. I need to do so much work to the rest of the car for it to handle that kind of power.. *sigh*

 

Right on man! Looking good! What did it come out of?

 

I think it was from a 95 bird, transplanted/hybrid to 85 bird, now will be re-hybrid to a 91 camaro

 

Good to see you made it back

It ended up being a 15hr trip for us, but we did get to see DA PATS in New Orleans I might even order the gaskets down here & bring them up.

Motor from a 94 Camaro, and now new one from 95 Camaro. THey make great donor cars

I may pop in from time to time to check on progress.

 

Yeah you'll be doing the locomotive power pulls real soon!
Boggie on!
This motor has a charmed life I'd say.
Isn't this the one that was purchased from Ebay?

 

If project got it from ebay, I dunno. I wasnt around here at that time. My evilbay one went in the truck.

OPS, 94 Camaro, o well, almost same thing

15 hours Damn that was a long haul. so you guys got in at about 11, geesh, long drive for you guys.
