Filthy Build

Brought the car home last summer and enjoyed her a bit.

She was a bit neglected .

Over the winter I pulled the motor and got to work.

Powder coated lots of things

Polished the manifold. Came out pretty damn good.

Built the motor up with ARP studs, GTE rods and pistons and King Race bearings

Came together pretty good in the end. All ready for spring.

Early this summer I had a bit of an issue, the bolt for bellhousing to R154 came loose, only part of the car I didn't touch .

Things touched to shouldn't have. Ended up breaking the back of the block off, destroyed the bellhousing and input shaft. The DSS driveshaft also failed.
