woohoo!! Its finally done. Still have some problems but it works and drives. I think I need to adjust the ign timing because it doesn't rev like my G20 (both have 9lb flywheels), the 240 is very lethargic. But it boosts like it should and everything. :)

Luckily my wiring is all kosher, and it started the first try. However I didn't notice until after I started it (a friend pointed out), the thermostat housing is cracked and it was pissing coolant.

took me a week 4-5 hours a day and then the whole weekend.

good 25+ hours in it. But one thing, I didn't do the wiring like I should have....I cheated, I just stretched the harness across the engine bay. 2 reasons why I did this, to make sure that the engine and components are good so I can say its my wiring thats screwed rather than searching for bad mafs, loose grounds, etc. The second reason is because I wanted to drive it :D

I'll go back and do it properly next weekend.

Where did you get the thermostat housing. Mine is cracked and I can't seem to find any way to get a new one.

I think I have one you can have for $15+shipping. I'll have to check. You would think there should be plenty of them laying around with everyone blowing engines. Do you need the one where the thermostate is or the curved one?

The one that goes right over the thermostat that has the upper radiator hose outlet at the end. The one you take off to replace the themostat. I can take a picture of it if you need. Let me know.

Thanks,

David.

Re: cracked t-stat housing...

It's aluminum, get it welded if you can't find a replacement.
