I got my engine back from Jake this week and it looks GREAT. If it runs as good as it looks, I'll be happy. The down side is that I have busted my a** for the last week getting the engine bay in shape before I install the engine. We had to replace an engine shelf and repair a few rust areas in the bay. While we were repairing the engine bay, why not fix the rusted areas on the longitudes. Oh yeh, let's go ahead and install that stiffining kit while we're at it. We really should just go ahead fix that rusted area around the door receiver area, ect....... I just did the grunt work while the pros did their work, welding. I'm so sore, I can hardly sit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I don't have any before pictures (sorry) but here are some pictures of the almost finished project. Really just need to do a little more grinding and cleaning, then paint. I hope that the stiffening kit was worth it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

I got a pile of parts like that in silver and brown. They would go really nice with your pile. Maybe we could work a little trade. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) My parts for your motor.

Looks great. You are a lucky man.

Dave

P.S. What are your plans for exhaust and oil cooling?

Nice looking repair jobs! Good to see someone value their eye protection too.

BTW-It's nice to have a couple of spare alternator belts, but I think you need therapy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif)

Dave, I have a Tangerine Racing Header from Chris Foley and I will be installing an external oil cooler. BTW, I read about your project daily with much interest. I feel your pain.

Boy, you're going first boat. I bet it's going to be a blast. I'll be following it closely. I'm in need of a rebuild and kind of dream of a 2270 from Jake but I'll have to save for it.

Have fun with it

rick... those look like cb performance manifolds/linkage/intakes. can you tell me if there are velocity stacks inside? i have those same intakes- they were to thick to run stacks on.... (my idea is to drill and tap offset holes for the stacks)

Dave, after alot of research I choose Jake to build my engine because I believe he is the best. I will also tell you that he is a GREAT guy to work with. He is coming out with alot of new stuff this year so keep so keep your eye open.
Thanks,
Rick

Rick, Everything is looking good. Nice work!

Aron, I don't think it matters too much if you start with a 1.7, 1.8, or 2.0. Jake replaces or reconfigures just about everything when building a 2270.

I confirm that.

Heads should be 1.8 or 1.7 probably with oversized valves.

On 2.0 heads, plugs are not on the top, but on the side, near intake port.
