Lookin' good. You really dont want the electric water pump so just pull it off and send it to me and I'll find a good home for it.

I am very impressed. That has to be one of the top 99% cleanest engines I have ever seen. Where did you get the motor?

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I bought a 26k L32 motor from Got Engines INC. My buddy Ray (1FSTV6) from clubgp painted, detailed and built it. We put it in together and will be finishing soon.

Thanks brother. If you were closer, I'd definitely consider making the trip. I wish we had some more cars like yours and Jason Austin's to compare myself to here in Miami.

That's awsome to hear all of you guys say good things about it. It has been over 3 months. We have taken our time (mostly Ray) and the end result is taking shape.

It looks so good i wouldnt have put it in the car. I would of just left it on the stand and looked at it.

I did consider that

Nice work! Is that the ZZP SFI balancer painted black, or something else? When you installed the oil neck spacer, did you use a gasket on each side? Just curious as I'm trying to put together my parts list.
