ultra_runner Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 This thread not be dead!!!The Project is still alive. I just needed to devote some time to other priorities that popped up, etc. However, I think it's time to start bringing thing together and get this sucka running.So, an update. I've got all the guages installed and wired up into the dash. I fixed a jeweled headlight assy after breaking it trying to figure out a projector project that went sour. Anyway, got those back in. But for the meaty stuff. I got some of my polished parts back today. WOW is all I can say. Here are some teaser pics. Headed to the machine shop tomorrow AM (2 hours away... one way) to check the status. Schedule said everything was to be finished today and going to inspect the work. May still be waiting for the custom grind cams to come back from So. Cal. If everything is ready to go, then I just need to figure how to get it out of hawk (...hope he takes food stamps). Then Doug K. is going to start bolting it together and that is when the fun really begins. Hope to pick up the new Civinco unit from Doug tomorrow and get that at least wired in while the dash is still "open".Anyway, hope to get this thread back alive and get this thing runnin'!Scott C.

ultra_runner Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I drove two hours to the machine shop to check the progress on the head work. Things are moving... albiet slowly, but moving. On this project, it is Quality over Quantity. It's kind of hard getting good pictures of head ports with a crappy little camera but here it goes:So I guess you can figure out what angle this is from... at least it if from the intake side. Notice how the port has contoured all the way into the valve guides. We're opening that puppy up! Here is a closer view of one the contours.Now - the above two pictures are on the ports that have been ported and contoured. On cylinder 5 we have continued to port all the way around the backside of the valve stems. This will be more compressed air onto the back side of the valve when under boost. It looks a bit rough as it is still work in progress, but once smoothed out and polished... it will look pristine.This is a shot up the mock cylinder on the air flow machine of cylinder 5. Not all to sexy, but this is the view your piston gets all day... just a bit darker.Well, I have some other goodies to post but that will be for tomorrow. Calling it a day.Scott C.
