Johann,

You have too many projects, it scares me a little, but also is very impressive since every one turns out great! tongue.gif

Always a pleasure to read your threads, Johann.

Do you have any closer/more detailed pictures of the machining that had to be done to fit the "wider" china rods?

As he said he gets alot of the stuff cheap or free, that helps. Plus he does most if not all the work himself, which also helps. These cars are not the pricey anymore so you don't need much more then a job to afford it.

What you really need more of is time and skill.

Good work Johann. Love your shop. I have been looking for a place like them of my own but have not found a good deal yet.

Hopefully soon I'll have a shop like, except it won't be attached or near to my house...

btw, don't the projects get overwhelming at times...

You can never have too many cars until it comes time to pay all the taxes on them.

So the advantage of a 2001 crank is increased displacement? Direct drop in?
