Project J-58 will be unveiled tomorrow. Finally, after using any avalible spare moment during lunch breaks & on saturdays to work on my own car, my fresh power plant is finished. The last car a professional mechanic gets his hands on is usually his own. This endevour took 2 months including machine shop time. So here is the list of goodies now under the scoops of my TC.
-Ground and balanced crank
-Recondition stock rods
-ARP rod bolts
-Reconditioned pistons
-Total Seal rings
-Stock block (honed)
-1035 Felpro head gasket
-Ported head
-Ported upper & lower intakes
-Ported exhaust manifold
-Custom ground cam
She fired up on the first turn. :D
