    Loving those arm bushings pressed out.

    What polyurethane kit did you go with?

    Combo of energy and prothane. Since neither one offers a complete kit that icludeds the knuckle.

    prothane sells the knuckle bushings separately in a set of two so u would need to order 3 sets to cover bot sides since we need 3 per side.

    Yeap thats what I did. BTW the upper 1 is a different part number, the only different is a 2mm outer lip thickness.

    Coilovers came in

    BC Extreme Low with swift spring upgrade, and shock inserts to match the swift. 12k Front, 10k Rear. Hoping to tune out a little bit of understeer.

    So with this set you wont have that issue where the shock almost hits the axle boot?

    I don't think this resolves that issue.

    It will do to the extreme low struts being 25mm shorter. Giving me the same ride height with .5 inch more to go I believe.

    Been a busy last week. The car is now on the ground.

    I cut the area I needed to cut for the awd swap when that happens
    20150615_134634 by Matt Gartner, on Flickr

    While working on the rear I found that somehow sand sat in the fender wells from the truck and held water so there is some rot that needs to be tended to by the end of summer.

    Been a long couple weeks since my last post. The car has been such a huge stress. The machinist who has the bottom end keeps postponing a week. I call him every week saying the same thing.



    He has pretty much put this project on a standstill.




    Sent out the head for a surface and a valve job, got it back in 3 days.

    20150711_224928 by Matt Gartner, on Flickr

    Had me feeling like



    Finished all of the ports up. Forgot to take pictures of the exhaust side.

    20150702_213900 by Matt Gartner, on Flickr

    My biggest fear of this build is that all the time and effort I am putting in there will be something dirty or dingy looking on the car. Because of that I have spent the extra bit of effort cleaning up the head to a better than new finish. The head and all the attached parts will be finished like this. Then protected in ceramic pro.

    20150710_235610 by Matt Gartner, on Flickr

    Its is very hard to see the finish because of the rough cast, but trust me its icey.



    Ported other miscellaneous parts

    This is the o2 housing, opened it up and smoothed it because the wastegate merge was made by a blind tweak with a sawzall

    Goodridge brake lines, balance shaft delete kit(since I lost mine), Oil cooler plugs(temporary), and GM IAT

    How did I miss this thread. Do you have a pic of the spring adaptors for those BC's and info where to get them? I could really use them, as I'm running 65mm springs as well.

    Painted the block a kind of sparkly black, cleared, then ceramic coated. So it looks so wet.
    20150817_182348 by Matt Gartner, on Flickr

    Sanded, polished and cleared. This is the original block to the car.
    20150819_235802 by Matt Gartner, on Flickr

    After having huge issues with my machinist I got my shit back and tore into it. Find the crank that was supposed to be ultrasonic cleaned was dirty.

    I like the fact you used longer bolts instead of studs for the spacer on the ex manifold. Also what made you go with the evo non-abs master?

    ahhh I see what your saying now. You know what if the nuts look like bolt heads (which Ill be honest I thought they were) the studs may be to short if there torqued down in the pic ending in 010238
