Was considering it, but I don't think I'm at the time in my life where I should be building an engine... I'm thinking my next house with a garage! Good buy though Ken! Can't wait to see how you build plays out... There's many threads on other forums to get ideas!
Thanks ... the engine that came out of the wrecked red ZX5 was already successfully supercharged with water meth and a good tune ... but when it came time to spend the money to put it into the silver car, I kind of balked of the idea of spending all that labour to re and re an engine with over 230,000 k on it, my spidey sense said don't do it.
But now, I can simply transfer over all the go-fast parts, while the engine is out of the car, and then the labour cost makes sense since this is for all intents and purposes a brand new engine.
And I still have a couple of engines I can slowly build for a possible turbo application later on.
