In a few threads I have asked for and received advice. Here is the outcome:
 Engine built from 1.7 to 2056. Tranny completely rebuilt. New synchs, new bearings, new seals. ARP rod bolts, a webcam, 8.4:1 compression. I am adding a direct gauge in addition to the vdo at the dash. AFM and CHT will go with them. But, I am taking the 911 down Route 66. I am leaving in a couple of weeks and don't have time to get the new engine swapped into the teener. I am driving from Madison WI as far as Albuquerque NM. Then back through the western rockies. Any suggestions? Also, a collection of shops might come in handy. Thanks everyone. Especially parts suppliers such as Valy and Rhody Guy. I have photos of the whole thing, so if anyone is interested I could make a thread. |

Stop and visit me in tulsa. My shop is 1 mile off route 66. I'll buy you some lunch (or dinner or breakfast as the case may be) I'd put you up for the night but just don't have the room in my small house.

Have to be in ABQ on the 27th, but, while I may not take it slow, I won't be doing long days. I have always wondered whether your avitar fits your trade. Guess I will find out. Cool!

I was thinking of the TR6, but I just finished 6 years of hard work, and cannot bear the idea of scuffing it up that much. In a year or two it will be easier. Bugeye!

Worn,
Beautiful job...Engine and trans look great. Gives me motivation as I'm doing a little preservation on my car right now. What coating is that on your trans? High temp paint or ?? Also, what is that gold section on the rear of the trans? Done just for looks or is there a functional reason? Thanks, Eric |

Thanks, Eric The good Dr Evil points out how easily the magnesium corrodes when exposed, so he recommends leaving it oily. Can't...make...myself...do...it! So it got cleaned with in an inch of it's beautiful metallic life. The main coating is epoxy DP40, covered with clear coat (I was told the epoxy needs some protection, and besides it looks cool to me). I think it will stand the temp, but we shall see. I have a lot of faith in DP-40, but you need a spray gun and a mask - it is two part. Orange is chevy engine paint. What? It isn't a V8? I was misinformed. The gold is my inability to keep things from looking wrong - rattle can gold hammer tone. I used hammer tone in the wrong color on the TR6 - couldn't resist the bling. Every part has been changed or cleaned, so I sure hope it fires up. |

On close examination I noticed a "1" and "2" on the engine. Are they cylinder numbers?
If yes...I thought cylinder 1 was passenger side front? |

As far a travel suggestions, you might take the route from Santa Fe to Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Then over to Durango and up to Silverton and Ouray. That drive from Durango is beautiful, I remember taking the train and would like to go back there again.

Valy - here are your heads on my tiny milling machine.  They came out the same depth and in the same plane, so I was OK with it. But I was sweating bullets doing it. and I had to face them for clearance.  Not perfect; the mill needs to move with the lathe crank plus the cnc slide my son made. |

But to the original poster, I am in Rio Rancho right next to the ABQ. If you'd like to hang out and kick tires, or go for a drive (haha after all those miles) PM me! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Ah yes, the $64,000 question. Typically late April in north-central New Mexico will be up to the mid to high 70s during the day, mid 40s to 50s at night. Could hit mid 80s, could stay below 60. Ya never know round these parts. This changes (hotter days, cooler nights) outside of the city in the high desert area, or of course up in any mountains. Rain is going to be rare and very brief if we get any. Expect it to be breezy if not outright windy in the spring. |
