UPDATE! Project 11secV6 underway

[97rs4life]

got an est. due date when it will hit the streets?

not anymore, I wanted it done by the M&G and that is not going to happen

[97rs4life]

the new 3angle valve job has been finished and now the heads should be going onto the shortblock in the next few days and then it is getting shipped over to me. Getting there fellas, lol

3-angle is worth some ponies, you wont regret that roadblock.

The builder sent me some pics. He had to order some shorter pushrods, 6.95" instead of the stock 7.05 size so those should be at his shop the first part of this week. I have been using the holden intakes on my stock engine here at the house for mock fitting of items so I am sending that out to get ported out this week as well by them. The end is near guys.

Now for the pics:

Block waiting to be revamped


Heads after the new valve job. These are Stage 3 P&P


L36 rods and CP pistons


Pistons/rods going into the block


Closeup of rotating assembly


Block getting there, good shot of double roller timing chain


Shortblock painted black and finished, heads loosely installed waiting on pushrods before final tightening. Heads need to be painted once I get the block back

wow... I thought you were trying to have it done for the M&G? I know last minute you realized it wouldn't be there, but it's a month past! What's the hold up?

builder took his sweet time was the hold up. He was doing it on the side and ended up having to work a lot of OT or something with his normal job. I dunno, I just want to get this thing done, lol.

[meissen]

lol I'm sure you do! Guess that was a lot of OT, but regardless glad to hear it's comin back together!

[97rs4life]

yea I need to get it back on the road this summer.

BTW, I put in a downpayment on a set of Longtube headers through FFF. It will be part of the first batch that they are making. They will go on over the winter when I take the pacesetter shorties off.

I hear that. it took me just about all of last summer just waiting on the machine work for my motor. and i couldn't start anything without the block/trans in the car

Good luck with the rest of it!
