Disclaimer: This will be a very picture intensive thread!
Well, I am finally in a position to start working on the car again. I am the 2nd owner and got it as a Birthday present when I was 16, now 24. Needless to say this was my first car to own and work on!
I had it for all of maybe 2 weeks before blowing the head gasket. :icon_bigg So, as a father/son project we tore it apart and went in with a reman'd 7M from ATK. I modded and drove the shit out of it until leaving for college. I didn't want to risk anyone hitting/stealing it so I left it home. Worst thing I could of done, it sat for quite a few years. I drove it the times I was home but eventually blew the HG on that motor about 2 years ago. I blame letting the car sit, so bad for it. I trailered it to where I am now, Bryan, TX and now the project starts!
I have a 2JZGE on the way, should be here Friday! The build is going to be longish and meticulous. My goal is to make this an absolute beast on the street, not a dyno/track queen.
The motor will sit around 9.0-9.2:1 Compression run a max of 15-20 PSI. At least for now :biglaugh:.
