I'm back in the game!!!

Post by **240 Trainee** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 7:27 am

Well, just picked up my second CA18 today, traded some Z brakes, OEM sideskirts, and $300 for a complete swap. The catch is, the thing is completly torn apart, lol. I have all the parts (supposidly), and all the new stuff you should do, bearings, seals, etc. I'm planning on a metal headgasket and some ARP studs while I'm down there, The block has already been re-honed, anyone else think of things I should upgrade while I'm down there? I'm not looking for a monster motor, just reliable and willing to take abuse without complaint. And daily drive. So anyways, I am back in the CA game

Congrats!!!!

How about water and oil pumps? CP Pistons, a new hg and those studs and you should be able to beat on her all day long!

Gonna have new oil and water pumps of course, Hmmmmmmm, Maybe I'll have to look into pistons. I wonder if they would really be necessary. I don't know, I had stopped keeping up with CA new last year, lol.

not neccesary.godd luck with it, stock you can spin them in third with a good clutch kick easily.

Not necessary, but if you are already in there, it is a great insurance policy. If I was in your shoes, I sure as hell would get some pistons!

I shouldn't tell you, but I just bought a complete engine set for 500$. lucked out

Yea, I just figured this was my lucky break, only $300 out on my part, and it came with most of the rebuild stuff, and the block has already been re-honed. I'm going to keep looking for a cheap long block, if I can find one, I'll use all my accesories and get it in the car while I am building this one.

Yea, I got Cole's old engine. I had promised myself no more engines for a while, but it was a good deal. This weekend hopefully I'll go through everything and see what I have, what I need, etc...
