I'd get rid of your ac. Or polish it up. Looks kind of tacky on that beautiful engine.

My friend put used housings in his 3rd gen motor, and the stationary gear seized, or something like that. I never heard of that happening before. I guess Ito was right about using ALL new housings.

Its looking good



Cant wait to see the end results, should be very nice. A good motor is always a nice start when building a powerful car. Why dont more peope understand that???



I feel like I read "how can I make 500rwhp with my stock motor that has 90K miles and it still be reliable???" I reading things like that and thinking.....if you dont know anymore than that, you dont need a 500RWHP car!!!!!



Later,

STEPHEN
