Yes, the car is at a new garage now.
Hopefully, work will begin at the end of this week and be done in a couple of weeks.
The guy had taped off the intake tubes of the middle manifold when he moved it to the locked off area in the back of the shop and loosely placed the valve covers on.
We are going to drop the cradle to finish installing the poly mounts. He still had the factory injectors on the fuel rail. Need to install the Mustang #19'ers. Pull the valve covers to inspect the valves and heads. I know for atleast 3 weeks the intake wasn't taped off and the valve covers weren't on. It rained during those 3 weeks. I would like the heads pulled for complete inspection and the oil pan as well.
What sucks is I am losing both my tenants at the end of this month so I won't have an abundance of cash anymore, but I should be able to pull through this. I still need to do a ported head/intake swap and rebuilt turbo swap to my daily driver when this car is on the road... Hopefully I'll find some tenants by Nov 1.

The Trueleo headers were ported yesterday.
The new mechanic will now have everything he needs to start re-assembling the car.

Finally good news!!! I'm happy to see that it work!!
Probably the only difference my engine will have from your is the CR. I need to find a match to lower the CR for my SC application. I dont want to go as high as Fierosound for my SC engine. So the 3.4DOHC is not an option for me.
Do you have an idea what I can use (piston) to lower the CR in the range of 8.5:1 or around that ?
I will go to the speedshop here en the next weeks to look at this..but any advice or hint of part I can use will be very apreciated.[This message has been edited by perry rhodan (edited 10-11-2007).]
