Engine is back together!!!

Finally finished the cam swap yesterday....Somethings wrong with it (working on that today) but here's a couple shots...Here's a short clip my brother mangaged to take while it was running.

Well, my dad and I did it in the driveway, took our time, only got to work a couple hours a day, waited on some parts, etc, and it took about 3 weeks. Right now we're taking **** BACK apart b/c it won't crank and we're thinking its the opti.

It's not that hard really, just time consuming. It's like a big puzzle

Now you need to get an aluminum intake elbow to really tie the silver on the TB and the CAI together.

That'll come as soon as the tune is on its way. That, the silver/aluminum vinyl for the intake rails, and an orange z28 logo for the TB plate.

EDIT: Some more pics.

Looks good, start going through the engine bay with some rags and cleaner and start hitting the details.

I foresee a new thread in your future: "Burned through a plug wire...what to do?"


Answer, OTVC wires. (not to mention they just look cool)
