Very well might take you up on that! Thank you sir!

Hopefully money well spent! It cost more to port this intake than the actual intake cost.


Pistons were finished up today so lots of progress should be made soon!

Looking forward to more results and pics .

Updates



How it looked when I left this afternoon


Hope everything goes together this week and we can get the car in Saturday or early next week to begin the rest of the build!!

Damn ,that looks nice.

Great looking set up.

Going to try and run the Cowl Air Cleaner that has been sitting in my basement. Might have to do a little cutting & hammering.


Debating if I want to get a polished alternator or keep the natural autozone special.

Edit: 15 minutes later. Old alternator is getting replaced with a polished Powermaster signature 100 amp. Order placed. Not big into TOO much chrome so hopefully this'll blend nicely with the rest of the accessory brackets & pulleys!

No photo updates but a few items added to the list.

Ordered new front & rear seat covers & foam, headrest covers, frt & rr door panels & package tray from Legendary Auto Interiors as well as new ACC mass backed carpet. Plan on having a professional put it all in while at the shop. I did everything myself the first time and it turned out decent but I am no professional. Going to dig the original rear arm rests out of the basement and attempt to match the pearl paint with some SEM Phantom White so I can remove the crappy aftermarket junk I put in the first time.

Ordered a tilt column from Ground Up which is a rebuilt GM column so that should install nice and give me the ability to put on 30 or 40 pounds later in life :grin: (Hopefully going the other direction but you never know.)

New Motor, new suspension & brakes, new interior, new wheels, 1 year old body & paint work, pretty much a new car now.

[flash]

Just dont tally up all those receipts ,its amazing how much we can spend on these things.
