As of right now, the block and head are at the machine shop being cleaned, resurfaced and balanced. Once that is back (hopefully a week or so) we will begin putting it all together!!!

Good luck...post up plenty of pics.take your time and do it right. These builds can get expensive and stressful. Hang in there and patience will be rewarded. :thumbup:

Nice man. Which Carrillo rods are those? Can't wait to see this done.

they are the BC 625+ I-beam rods :)

I read your last build thread on this car, please tell me you didnt have to pay that guy anything and the re-do the car at another shop again...

Stupid me. Read on phone and saw bc and assumed cams for some reason hah. My bad man.

Really freaking sucks that a shop can screw you like that and they don't take any blame for it. I have a guy that builds my car and he is a private individual. Only guy i can trust, hate 3-4 people working on my car.

good luck with your build, hopefully you have a better turn out this time around

good luck man ;)

Awesome that you're sticking with this build and congrats on moving on past the old shop that screwed you. I followed your old thread and it was a real heart breaker.

I'm sure all the hassle will be worth it in the end!

Great to see your car getting a chance to be built right! :thumbup:

yeeeeeeeeeek

<3

wow, round 2 my friend. goodluck! ps you ever get that 6 speed sorted out??

I applaud your commitment!!! My car would have been off a cliff or lost in Miami somewhere. :o

Keep it up and I hope you get it all done homie.
