Project: Mistress

I'm doing good now that I'm off work... You?

Doin ok!

Well I had a very simple plan,and it went all to shit!I know very little about these engines and have been trying to figure out what will work and what won't,w/o much success!What was only going to be a top end swap has now turned into a total rebuild.The 98 that I am going to use has approx. 80k on it(+-).I was just going to just swap the heads and buy a new 2114 and slap the projection on top,but I would not have been satisfied.NOW,My curiosity got the best of me,the rocker arms,push rods,lifters and cam soon to follow are in the trash,oh yeah the balance shaft gear is going too.There is NO ridge in the cylinders,still gonna bore it though.I saw no numbers on the piston so I am assuming it is still standard thinking about a .30 over bore.Hope the crank is still standard,if so have it polished and the oil holes chamfered and call it good with new bearings.Pics.

What can I say.................there is NO SUCH THING as well enough!Moderashun is not in my vocabulary,I can't even spell it!

Haha.. It's definately a wise idea to rebuild the engine, though.

Hell,USPS does a better job!

Did FedEx throw your parts at your door? That's what they do to me. Last time I knew they were coming say I watched for them out the kitchen window and when he was about to throw them I opened the door and scared the shit out of him...haha
