Some of the new parts.
Some of the new parts.
Polishing the chambers (3 and 4).
Close up of polished chamber, also notice a bit of work in the ports.
Intake side, port matching on 3 and 4 complete, 1 and 2 to go (marked with black marker).
Looking through the TWM intake at the port matching that's needed.
Another shot through the intake. Intake port sizes are roughly 50mm.
Port matching complete.
Polished exhaust port, enlarged a little, smoothed a lot (notice all machine marks are gone).
Exhaust port as it comes from the factory.
Welded air injection ports.
LC Engineering stroker block.
Machining along the base for the crank scraper.
Close up of machining for a stroker crank (inside the block, and notice the lip that is present to "hide" the crank scraper.
Test fitting the Autozone crankshaft.
ARP main studs installed.
Wiseco piston and Eagle rod ready for installation.
Installing the pistons. The tapered ring compressor makes like sooo much easier than the cheap Sears clamp type compressor that I used last time.
Test fitting the LC Engineering crank scraper.
Close up of main and rod caps, as well as the crank scraper clearances.
Filter screen for the Mikuni carbs. these are cool, time to order a full set.
Another view of the filter screen.
Font cover, pulleys and alternator on. ARP head studs ready to use!
Front of engine, look at that underdrive crankpulley (and underdrive water pump pulley). I think I need a prettier alternator.
Head, cam, rockers all installed.
Distributer is in, this is starting to look like an engine.
8mm plug wires installed, also 1/2 of a V-8 plug wire loom.
9lb Fidanza aluminum flywheel held in place by ARP bolts (notice the plate on the back of the engine is missing). Stock flywheel is 22 lbs.
11 lb ACT pressure plate installed (kind of defeats the purpose of that flywheel).
Clutch and flywheel removed so and plate installed on the back of the engine.
