So i decided the blue on the compressor housing just wasn't for me, nor did it match what i wanted from my build.....not that it'd really be seen, but it'd be in the back of my mind. So i changed it






I think it's a bit cleaner, anyone else?

Well today i was supposed to go to the machine shop, but my vehicle to transfer everything there is being used. Hoping tomorrow works out.

In the meantime, this is my finished port/polish job of the exhaust side of the 086 head. I didn't touch the intake at all, it doesn't really need it.

Thanks Mike! This was my first time ever porting a head, so there are bound to be a couple inconsistencies, but the flowbench will for sure tell us more

Everything was taken to Forrest & Forrest Racing in Ayr, on Saturday. They told me 2-3 weeks as they're going to fit my small machine work in-between their other projects they're currently working on. Since i'll be assembling the engine myself, this saves them and myself alot of time (and money).

Hoping for an August break-in month at the very latest.

Haha, yeah Forrest & Forrest had my stuff from June/July all the way till October. When i finally got it back, i had done some other work and taken pictures, but was starting to feel those "winter blues" and just didn't feel like posting anything. You know how it goes lol.




and now with our new building expansion that we did at my work, we added a private car bay and hoist which will make EVERYTHING sooo much easier!

Oh snap, uncle fester. Now that's some funny stuff right there. Almost as funny as you ever finish this build.

"Ha-ha", thanks Hannibal lol. How's that built motor (that you dropped) running? Oohh wait, that's right.....

Mini update:

Haven't had much time to work on the car sadly, had other priorities. I got in my -10 AN hose/fittings for the turbo drain, but i lost the bid on that polished ls1 throttle body on ebay.


I'm going to be stopping by a local junkyard where there is a Vortec throttle body with sensors available, and i'm buying the flange tomorrow to weld. Also buying intake/exhaust manifold studs.

I had to port match my HO intake and phenolic spacer to the head and gasket, but didn't take pictures at all.

I managed to get the block up on the engine cradle and started loctiting the pipe plugs involved for the 2.3L oil pump swap, and started temp. assembly to mock up my oil drain into the pan.



Didn't manage to grab pics with the oil pan on and head on though.

That's all for now, time to get drunk. I'm 26 today. derp derp!

Thanks man! Love me some sushi. There's a pretty awesome sushi joint (that everyone keeps telling me) that opened up not too long ago right near my new place. Have yet to try it out but i'm thinking this is finally be the week, i just gotta navigate this hangover first.

Picked up a 5.7L Vortec throttle body from a yard near me. Need to do a little modification to it though before use. Dunno why GM put that stupid little restrictor in there, but it's coming out while I'm cleaning it.




Still waiting on the flange for the intake manifold.
