I just pulled everything off, to send to get coated. So, I will ship that this week. On the heads, I am waiting until after TX2k. I am running Kelford 272 right now with Supertech valvetrain. So that will all be sold, so I can run the custom setup from Headgames.
I'm working on trying to figure out a oil pump alternative as well, trying to keep A/C as the weather here gets to hot for no A/C lol.
Bottom end....Whats the most power that's been put down without sleeving? Are the walls that week?
Goal for Texas is around 800-850rwhp. Everything will be done on spare heads/block to keep the car down as short as possible.
I have a lot of ideas floating, just tackling them one at a time.

I'm right there with you. At first I was thinking about just selling everything. However, after some time thinking, I knew I wouldn't be happy if I didn't finish the Z.

Yea that's a bit different haha. I'd like to go to a 3.8L or 4L, but I will see how the 3.5L handles this setup. I will definitely be posting here or on my facebook...https://www.facebook.com/jeremiah.heidner.1. It's easier for me to upload pics of the progress there. Wish there was a way to post on both at the same time haha.

Well if I was going for "only" 800-850rwhp, I would agree with you. I said in the beginning of this thread my goal is for 1300+rwhp. My goal is to pick up where Chris and Sound Performance left off...So, while I wait for the new motor to be built; I will drive on the setup I have now, and make 800-850rwhp and just have fun.

Small update: Car is getting painted today woot. Now I have to just wait patiently for that process before I start putting her back together. Was told, I should have back before Christmas, so I know what I'll be doing after Christmas. I'll post some pics up once it is painted and ready for everything to go back in. 2 and 1/2 months to get her done.

Derrel, I'm just getting the regular respray. nothing fancy as I like the stock color. Basically fenders forward is getting painted along with the hatch. I got a good deal though, so definitely not going to complain. I'm just ready for it to be done so I can start working on it.

Yes, they do pearls. As for cost, I'm not sure what the total cost would be. I'll ask and see what I can find out. What you thinking about doing? We can definitely take care of getting it all done for you though. I'll at least give you some KY hahaha.. jk jk

Well here we go, let's try this again. This is how she is sitting now. I have the car at the paint shop and when it gets back, I can start putting the engine and everything back.
Hope to have more updates soon for you guys. A few little other upgrades are being done as well, since the motor is out of the car.

ky
TKS J but I get all the free KY I need at work!
I was thinking of a more "pearly" pearl..more accents with blue, gold reds showing through when lighted...
I hear u can do that with a new clear coat.

Gotcha, be careful doing to much. You'll look like a bass boat going down the road. Some mix the pearl with the clear coat and respray. It's definitely do able though.

Didn't realize I didn't put any of the pics up that were during the body work. Well here are some of the body work and of it painted together. Once it gets buffed and pic in proper lighting, I'll get those up as well.
Block is being sent out at the beginning of the year to be sleeved. Piston and Rods are my next thing to tackle. Talked to quite a few people, for rods it will be either Pauter or Carrillo and for pistons, Weisco or CP 10.1 CR. Goal changed a bit, but I'm going to stay 3.5L and wet sump(Oil). Maybe further down the line, I can go to the dry setup.
Here are the pics of the car so far:
