[AmoebAssassin]

I could eat dinner off of that motor.

You probably wouldnt appreciate that though

It's about time that motor left the kitchen

It's looking real good c-rad. That motor looks like it just got shipped out of the factory. Make sure to give us some updates and pics when it's in the car.

None too much.

Thanks for the comments. Only thing I have left to do now is get my BOV flange welded on and my O2 bung for the wideband welded onto my downpipe. Hopefully I can do both of those this week. Then next week I can put it in

Congrats Chris! It looks great man!

[RagingPanda]

want to come over and help me with mine? hahahha...i'll provide the great company, food, and beer! Great job!

Chris you should provide a detailed list of what it took you to get to that stage. That way people can see how cost effective it is to rebuild the CA motor to new specs and still come out chaper than an SR swap.

List should contain parts and prices and labor and machine work. I would not include the powdercoating or exhaust manifold but thing pertaining to the rebuild of the motor. I think it will shed some light to these guys deciding whether or not they should go ka-t, sr, ca, etc.
