I'll be home in march on spring break doing my timing belt so if you have it back together i'll help ya with the bugs. I'll also be back in june and august so we can go stomp some ricers and get all the bugs worked out man. I'm considering after tax refund of getting a turbo and running 8 psi so we'll see.

there is no fluids in it, lol.... going to work on it this weekend, paint and clean the block at least while it is out, tranny also..... then work on getting the rest of the car together... maybe by the weekend the block and tranny will be back together and get ready to set it in the car, then i will have to save up my money for steal braided lines, fuel rail, motor mounts, and that small thing i like to call a turbo....

Do both.... I know it would take awhile but with that new fancy compressor you got I'm sure you'll have a blast :-D and you'd be the only person I've ever seen with a polished block... it would def. look awesome specially since you painted the engine bay.... then you could keep the theme black and silver/chrome for sureeee :-D
