370cc topfeed low impedence CA18 injectors were a freebie from one of the guys.

and we stripped the motor down. the rod bearing on #2 is non-existant, so we may be shopping for good crank and maybe a set of rods. we'll check the journal sizes and all and go from there.

Haven't updated in awhile because not too much has happened...The Block should be sent out sometime in the next few days if everything goes as planned. The block is gonna go through Honing and Decking and they'll clean up the crank. Also our gaskets, oil pump parts, piston rings and seals came in from Nissan.

JGS mounts came in too because the ones on my car were done....these are beast

block is sitting at the shop. needs to be cleaned up(exterior-wise), and we're going to drop off the head for checking journal clearances with the BC cams, and get x-rayed to check for blockages. and when we drop that off we'll pick up the crank(which had to be remachined on one journal to give a good clearance) and start to assemble the motor. that all should happen monday after I unload the valvesprings.

oh, and mike got some VIP in a box today...
