Lmao i knew i wasnt the only one

 

explain plz

 

ive hauled all kind of stuff in my old hatch, 4cyl and 6 cyl engines, trans, i had 4 goats and 12 chickens in it one night lmao.

 

Wow. Thats a little hectic.

 

ugh, i still disagree with this. The only positive thing i see you getting out of this is the xp, but I guess when u think about xp is very important if you havent tinkered with engines b4. Again i think its a waste of money, i would rather see you build it for a boost project rather than an n/a setup. I'm not tryin to b a d!ck or a downer but I'm just trying to look out for ya. Anyways im still interested in the build and look forward to the progress you make. GL and hope you find a cheap short block. O you should also paint that VC to match your exterior paint.

 

I understand your concern. I have tinkered around with plenty of motors before and have the confidence to know I could do any job on a d series motor. I have more experience with chevy 8 cylinder motors and that helps with the concept of just about any motor. I just graduated high school and there is nothing stopping me from finishing this build and then deciding I want to build a B or boost a D, I have time. I have my whole life time to make money and I wont regret it even if it yields minimal hp gains.

As for the valve cover I'm not sure. I was thinking black because my CAI is blue. So a red VC and blue intake would look weird I'm assuming.

 

So soon I will begin tearing down the motor I bought and keep my eye out for a block on CL. Otherwise I'm saving my money for school and suspension parts which I should be able to purchase early January. I have composed a really rough list of parts for the High Compression d16z6 build. Feel free to post questions, comments and opinions.

I know I'm missing small stuff and I'm sure this will all change as time progresses.

 

Update: Found a z6 short block complete for about the same price as the one i bought with the bad block. Picking it up Sunday since it only has 100k on it. After I get this my focus will turn to buying parts for the build and lowering my car.

Bought everything to paint the molding, side skirts and lip. I'm waiting for a day off work and some decent weather to motivate me.

Also, ordered a new glove box handle, c pillar bar and wink mirror. Should be here Friday or Monday.

 

i could have got those parts off the civic part out buddies got, ive still got the dome light also

 

sweet good luck! you still have the other block and head? if so id inspect the parts on both and only use the best off both
