Here's a little teaser of the build. Two weeks in, two or three to go...a lot faster than 2 years.

Did you ever manage to get your money back from that POS shop? Also that's a beautiful engine.

Wow. A bit of a difference this time. Imagine that. Timely updates, a reasonable time frame and photo evidence of the work. It'll be sweet when you get to finally open it up the first time.

Wow! When it's ready maybe you can make the trip up to Katie's C&C.

Keep us posted!

If the cleanliness of the work and the shop are indicative of the end result I'd say you are in much better hands.

I'm liking that wrinkled powdercoat finish on the valve cover.

Looks great! Sorry it's cost you so much money just to get it this far.

She'll be great when she's done, though.

Did you decide to go with a 2.7 liter Evo II style build?

Battery Tender Unnecessary > Saracen 07/28/2014 at 14:32

I went EVO II cams, tuning, etc. Should be about 225-230hp. I went that way so I can revert to US-Spec without opening the engine back up if I want for authenticity.

I know it's tacky to ask, but I'm clueless about this stuff. How much?
