About 18ish months ago I bought into a new engine program Eric and PMB were starting up. If you have seen me in person I've probably talked your ear off about it. Sorry about that, I've been pretty excited.
Mine is No2 off their line, and its crated up in Utah waiting for the shipper to pick it up. So its really real time here in Dallastown, and I've started getting my 2056 ready to come out. The new engine! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-1435-1679065407.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-1435-1679065409.2.jpg) I *think* (and could be wrong) that Eric also used my motor as the promotional model for Facebook and his Web storefront - though that could have been Risdal's engine which was right behind mine. Eric and Larry did a lot of testing on the #1 engine in Jim's car, got a lot of driving data at Red Rocks last fall, and then had to wait on components to come in that resulted from that real world testing. My engine was crated last week. I asked Eric to include some other things (including his new brake lines and new pads), paid the final invoice for parts and shipping and the engine will hopefully be in my garage next week! @Stratplayer @Eric_Shea |

Don’t rush. Take your time and enjoy the process. People make mistakes with deadlines. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) WOW..that sure looks NICE Congratulations on you new purchase Yea Zach! 6 oil tank. Hmmmm…. Behind this crate is a /6 2.7 with CIS. Its going to eventually go into the bus, and the oil tank is from that. Zach (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I agree with Mark , and i am guilty of this rushing thing making simple mistakes - Zach, congrats this looks so awesome!! i have been talking with Eric about using the Holly system and those ITB's etc on my newer 2.1 in the car now, man that looks sweet!, @rfinegan , i know you are having fun on your 3rd re-build etc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) but maybe this should be your next step if your current reassembly does not go as planned, but then again its more about the process and experience right? - Zach, i cant wait to see it in the car an dhear it run- what do you have for muffler and headers?
