I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Waiting for a transplant *Updated*

Post by boostjunkie95 » February 12, 2007

This is kind of a winter build/progress thread. I was bored earlier so i decided to snap a few pics. The car is tucked away in the corner of the garage waiting patiently for a heart transplant that will be going down real soon. Image Im staying with a single cam for the transplant, I picked up a spare Z6 longblock(thanks Floyd) a while back. I finally was able to get it up on the stand this past week and dis-assemble it. Image Success, yo. Image I'm ordering some pistons and rods this week, going with SRP 9:1's and Eagle rods. Once they come in the block will be going to the machine shop to get some work done to it. I originally had plans to get it sleeved but that will have to wait until next year, low cash flow :( . I picked up some ARP head studs and a GE block guard, the Arizona Forced Induction ramhorn manifold will be in this week. Once i get all the parts i'll post up more pics. Things will be coming together pretty quick when everything gets here, kinda pumped about it right now, cant wait. Im shooting for 350+whp on pump gas and 400+ on C16 so we'll see what happens. Stay tuned, yo.
