For the last few weeks we have been very slow and it is just getting slower and slower with each passing day. I have my project 82 fairmont that hasn't had much done to it in a very long time. I stopped working on it when I brought my house 12 years ago. Worked on it some about 7 years ago (I think) when I discovered water had found it's way into 2 cylinders causing low compression. After that I lost motivation but refuse to give up and get rid of it.
We have a shop of about 60 techs and getting as few as 60 cars in a day right now. A lot of our time we have been spending just shooting the shit and project cars are finding their way into the shop. After talking to the wife she insists I get it up here and work on it. I'm not sure about spending the money but she said, "were fine, just try to not spend more than $5,000 on it this month and try to have it at least running."
It's a homemade blow-thru turbo setup on a 302. I dont even know where I want to go with it at the moment. Eventually I want it to be at least 600rwhp, most likely a built T5, build 8.8 blah blah blah. The engine it currently has is Keith craft a .030 302 with ported E7s but the walls are probably toast. I can get a dirt cheap 30 over block and swap the rotating assembly and call it a day and keep it around 500hp for now. Or can get a level 20 DSS block, or go .40 over and get new pistons on current block. I'd like to out some aluminum heads but it might be beyond my current budget. Anybody have anything lying around? I have been out of the game for a while and been focusing on buying guns. Now back to hotrodding.
