DIY porting finished! almost...
I need a new alternator all together. This one is pretty beat up honestly. I painted it like that a long time ago. I really want a polished one. I really, really, really want a polished pump. But I refuse to pay $4 million for someone to do it for me. I need to just have this one polished or powdercoated.
Oh and the intake is going to stay RED!!!!! for a RACE CAR!!!!

Alt. are very easy to polish, basically the same as porting only keep going finer with the sand paper, then hit a polishing wheel. As for the water pump, for some reason they must use lower grade alum. I did a few and there were allot of air pockets and inperfections although I've seen a WP housing and elec. housing polished and that looked very impressive! I had polished my housing, but it was such a PITA to keep clean plus you can't see it under the elbow, so I ended up going with paint when I did the elec. pump. That would be painted BLACK, the color of the FASTEST RACE CARS!
If you want to take a shot at polishing I have allot of the various abrasives and wheels I can bring over and we can do it.
Red sucks now... why? BECAUSE IT DOESNT FIT!!!!!!!!!
I tried to bolt it up last night. It doesnt fit. I guess the .010 of the deck and the .039 gasket on the TFS head was too much. I think I have to hae it milled. I hate to do that but it might have to be done.
