Thought it might be cool to add some pictures from where I started last nov. to now.
Car went 11.70 stock longblock on a 150pill. Decided to do heads/cam/th-350 swap and hit it with a 200pill for 2013. We'll.....that plan didn't stick long.
Beginning of the tear down process.
22013
Dropped it out the bottom, cake walk.
22014
Figured might as well lose some weight while its apart
22015
22016
Door bars out
22017
My single stall garage wasn't cutting it, so we drug it across the street to my dads 30x40 shop.
22018

07-18-2013, 08:22 PM

Engine bay had seen better days, pays to have a good painter as a friend.

Picked up a tubular k member, but wasn't digging the color so we fixed that.

Floor jacks and stands weren't cutting it anymore. So we picked up a used 10,000lb hoist. Hands down the best purchase of the whole build lol

Put the head studs in with the recommended arp lube

Heads on and torqued down
22063
I need more Im jonesen already!

I didn't have any luck with the whitish ARP lube. I had a few that leaked and I had to go back and re-do them. I did some research later and a lot of guys recommended rtv instead of the ARP lube. Use it on all of them, not just the ones you think will hit water. That way the torque numbers are consistent.

I'm hoping I don't have that problem...so far so good but haven't really ran the car hard yet.
When you fixed them, did you just pull the heads or did you do it one by one?

That's for sure. I was so excited when I got the first start on the 96 I'm building. Didn't really take long either a couple weeks but that was basically non stop wrenching. I wanna take it out for a test run to see how it goes "stock" so to speak. Then over winter I wanna at least do headers and a cam. I'm gonna paint her too over the winter so that's gonna cut into the go fast goodies. Lol

Getting close to finishing up an 8.8 swap.
Just got to weld the torque arm bracket on, and clean up and undercoat the back half of the car.

Picked up some lca's and a panhard bar locally to throw on the car as we'll.

Sweet ! I would highly highly recommend putting on chassis saver if your wanting to put a nice under coat on the car.

I'm trying!! Been working a lot of OT so I can't find much time to get to the track. I've made a couple hits on the street and it feels stupid fast. We'll see. No clue, I doubt the motor will last long enough to max the turbo out lol

I can't remember the specs but it's not a turbo grind cam. It's not ideal at all but what I had to use at the time.
