Looking good Dan. Are you going to get it back like your old engine? Exhaust, intake and your PHP chip? Or you going to leave it stock?

It's going back exactly like before, along with a rebuilt turbo pedastal. (leaking right now.)

Good to hear things are going your way- Wish I was'nt so far away- I'd love to come by & learn some new stuff and lend a hand, although you probably don't need it. Best of luck anyway.

What Bill said, but we would probably have to build an observation deck like in an operating room to keep us out of your way. Glad to hear that things are going smoothly, Dan. Keep the pics coming.

Looks good Dan!

I am going to pull my motor out in the next week or two. Wish I had the funds to do it like you are, but at this point I will be thankful to get a motor that runs right back in there!!LOL!

Thanks guys.
New engine is in and a lot of the accessories are bolted down.
Tranny and turbo are next.
It should run tonight!

Damn, you work fast. Impressive.

I imagine the video would look like a Benny Hill flick even at normal speeds.

Any chance of getting a WAG on the old skirt clearances before shipping off the core?

Something had to be making that noise.

I will try and get some of my pictures up this weekend as a little boost in encouragement. I basically played musical plywood with several very thick and expensive pieces of card board that I picked up at Lowes.

It was still a pain in the *** since I had to clean lots of gravel out for the wood to sit flush on the ground.
