At the moment I figure to be sitting on somewhere between $1000 and $1500 of new uninstalled parts to include:
BHJ Harmonic Balancer
Harris Pulley (en route)
Chip Tuner
42 lb injectors
255 lph forced fuel pump
Engine Mounts
Transmission Mount
Differential Bushings (???)
Bluetongue Aluminum Roller Rockers (en route)
My plan of the moment is to have AAA tow the car to Loper's Performance and have Mike the engine builder design, balance, blueprint, and build it. Ideally I'd be looking for around (censored - it'll be a surprise) HP after a rebuilt and ported supercharger, plenum, and 85mm TB.
All I need now is a job and $8500 to get started.
I also have reasonable faith that shortly after the engine rebuild the transmission will go.
So in other words... my project is on hold and I'm borrowing my mother's Hyundai - pending termination of this school term (mid-May) and my becoming gainfully employed.
Buddy can you spare a job?
