lol, stickers ftw! ur right whitecavy...

damn!! i have never actually seen that header before, it looks badass!
paul, very nice man, i had no idea you had that much sh!t already purchased man, AWESOME.
if you need ANY help putting it all together and or installation-i will be ur right hand man.

some things im thinking will help you:

accell FPR
if you havnt done the oil pan yet, just buy the one from www.miller-performance.com

just clean the hell out of everything and polish a lot of it!! hehe

if i were you... id paint the HO manifold and your IDI cover gloss black, polish the fuel rail and lines, and maybe paint the cam towers/side timing chain aluminum cover your car's body color, which i think is manta green right?

ha ha Yeah got bored one day and i had a bunch of stickers and had to put them on something but the sticker its already off.

Brad
You could probley help me with the trany install and dropping the engine in or anything else i have to do.

The oil pan i already have cut apart and have the aluminum bent for it all i need to do is buy some welding rod for my friends dad to weld it.

lookin good hopefully will get a look at it in person sometime soon when is it gonna be ready

wow looks very nice can't wait to see the results



14.425 @ 97.833 mph stock + GMPP s/c on drag radials.

Well I am hoping to have it done this spring.

But i dont know because i need HPT and i dont really know how to run the program or no how to tune.
So I am trying to find some one with HPT that will tune it for $150-$200 or ill buy the program and try not to mess something up.

nice setup right there


good luck with the rest of the build and can not wait to see the end product





RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...

paul- didnt u say u ported ur head urself?

if so..could u get some close ups of the ports?

looks good...

with the higher compression, larger exhaust, and longer duration cams (260*/.377"-268*.375"), I would put you at about 200hp or so to the wheels (based off of my build and HP) with a good tune. I would go ahead with the Knife edging on the crank, and have it lightened up....... on a N/A motor, the lighter the rotating assembly, the better.

I would have a shop do it cause your taking weight off the end of the crank which would make it go off balance.

damn man not bad for a 17 year old!!!! i may have you do mine!!

about the only thing i can see that might not be good on your head is the piece of metal that divides the 2 valves on the intake ports... you really need to have those knife edged... with that rounded over edge it will create a lot of turbulance.... thats my understanding of it, if anyone can correct me on that please do!

Iam still thinking about takeing the intake side apart and shapen it a bit more.
I think the exhaust may be a little to small also.
I post pics of the ports up close somtime today.

Heres some pictures of the ports















Jbp Lifters


Polished my 56mm t/b later on i plan on getting a 60 mm


eagle rods vs stock


The reason I have to rebuild Valves Hit


Also heres some Pics of my gauge bazel i made its done now but dont have pics rite now






Sorry about the crappy pictures of the ports my camra sucks at close ups

Also where could i get a crank knife edged would a local machine shop be able to do it?
What is a decent price for a decent job?

yea, have the crank worked on by a machine shop...... have them knife edge the counter weights, champher the oiling holes, micro polish the bearing journals, then balance everything..... while its there, have them swap the oil drive gears.
