You plugged your PCV ports. What is your pcv set up then?What did you do with the coolant lines under the intake?and all the other required vac lines ike the IACV

The PCV will be setup just like this: http://www.ka-t.org/forums/vie...t=pcv

The coolant lines will be rerouted once the engine is back together, and since i don't have an iacv, it is not a required vac line..... just crack open the throttle plate to keep it idleing.

The rust monster took it away .....it wouldn't sit on all four jackstands at the same time, body was twisted and the handling was all over the place....really unsafe to drive and too much$$$ to fix. So i sold most of it, but kept what i could use on the s14. Still have some parts you could use though....

After a lot of soldering and shrink wrap, I finished up my conversion harness...these things are a PITA to make...and cause blisters when you drop the soldering iron on your finger.

all of the rear control arms (except the lower one) w/ energy suspension bushings pressed in front control arms w/ E.S. bushings pressed in.....would need new ball joints

z32 aluminum uprights

KYB gr2 shocks to fit the z32 uprights (uses fork type instead of bolt type shock)

3" cat back exhaust

5 lug hubs for the rear, s14 5 lug spindles for the front.

A LOT of wiring...except the engine harness

There's probably more in the garage, but that's all i can think of right now

Finally got the rods today and started to measure the crank journals for bearing size and make sure everything was in spec. It didn't take long to figure out that my digital micrometer is WAY off .... so i'm just gonna let the machine shop do it....

Picked up the block today. I had it bored .020 and the crank polished. Now....i have to find my piston ring filer.....i think someone "borrowed" it and never returned it.

After waiting on a new ring file, and waiting for the weather to warm up a little.....i finally got the block together. I only have about 2 months to get this in the car and broken in, so, i guess i better get my butt in gear.
