Heck, I'm struggling for the space to be able to this as well
. The good things is, both cranks are at the machine shop getting modifications done to their noses to enusre compatibility to the CA18's components as well as ensuring that they do not strip the crankshaft key and cause a catastrophic disaster. So that is one of my hold-ups and I don't want to rush the machinist that is handling these tasks. The pistons have been purchased and the rods have been ordered for both engines to the tune of about $1400. So this is not just a build, but a reliable engine that will be able to handle some serious power.
I will start on the oil squirter modifications for both blocks when i get through with the projects I'm working on for other members. I will get this done soon and will stand by my word by sharing whatever I did to these things (no secrets). As for the timing belt, I think I'm on to something, but I want to assemble an engine first to confirm as both of my idler mods are in slightly different locations, so I want to see what effect that will have on timing belt selection. Feel free to chime in guys
