I've gotten way side tracked this summer with other matters that caused me to put all my 914 projects on hold.
i'm just getting back to finishing up my V-8 car for paint. i've probably got about 1-2 full days left of prep work to finish stripping the car. Then i'm taking it to a local shop for new FG rear quarters and to fix the crappy front FG flares. While it's at paint i'm going to either assemble a new 327 myself or take it to a local shop and have it assembled and dyno'ed. anyone know a good place for that in Orange County area for SBC V-8? i'm going to be dropping the engine before taking it for paint. i've done the type 4 drop many times. what is the easiest way to do the V-8 drop? i'm hoping to get it dropped and out of here by the end of the month. i'm figuring it will take them a while to finish the body work and paint. |

Drop the 8 like you would the 4! With the V-8, you don't have to worry about the engine shrowd the 4s have! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)
Pro Machine and The Block Shop in Placentia(??) are great with engine machinging and building. I would build the engine myself and then take it to a shop to test/tune on the dyno. You shouldn't have to pay the extra $$$ when you can build the engine yourself. |

Do not take any parts to either of the Orange engine machine shops, no matter what.
Based on my past experience you will not like what you get back. |
