Ok, so I finally figured I should get around to posting some pictures of my first engine build. That and it'll be a nice way to kill the last couple minutes of my work day.
I'm getting close to having everything wrapped up. I hope to get her fired up in a week or so, which should be just in time for a couple of days driving and then it'll be time to pull the engine again and put the car back up on jack stands and continue with the rest of the project. Before  During       After   I'm missing quite a few pictures from the in-between stages, but these are all I have with me at the moment. |

Ok engine details, was originally a 1.7l but is now a 1911. Had the heads reworked by HAM to bigger valves a the 2l spark plug angle and went with a mild cam and valve train kit from Raby.
Yeah I'm not real happy with how the plug wires are fitting on the 1/2 side, but I think they'll be ok. I don't actually have the plugs in yet so the wires are just kind of sitting there. The tin is still from the 1.7 but with the spark plug holes filled. Hopefully i'll get it fired up at least once before winter. |

Needs 2.0 plug wires. About 6 inches longer. I ended up making my own. |
