Found one of these Main Bearing Support Plates at the wreckers.
Blocks painted and ready to assemble
Crank
Aforementioned crank goes in block (0.0040 endplay, yay new bearings)
And threw sand on the valve cover at high speed

You've gotta pretty good arm to throw sand that fast.

Now this is a worklog I like. Good work so far even though its not even together yet I can tell its going to be one hell of a screamer. Do you got pics of the car the motor will be going into?

Im going to put it in my grey chrysler LeBaron !

On second thought no, scrap the LeBaron because nothing was salvageable
due to rust.
How about a black 94 RS with a sunroof ?

nah, the lebaron looks way cooler ;)
I'm sure it would be a direct bolt on too!
then you could put v-tec on it, and have mad vtec yo!
on a serious note though, I can hardly wait for this project to be complete!
congrats.

are you planning to turbo later? Im looking to do a very similar build over the summer when I have some time (and hopefully money!) Keep the worklog updated so I can see some pointers - I've never done anything even close so it'l be a first for me. Looks great - cant wait to see the finished product!

Yeah the plan is for a ginormous Garrett T3 or the like turbo and a nice wideband standalone. I have to do the crazy calculations on the Garrett site to find out how big to go.
Any suggestions for a standalone? was thinking Greddy

Never let someone tell you porting and polishing is easy or quick work
Im still not done with these, I think im gonna go over it again with sandpaper
from 100-1500 then polish

Aha the head is nearing completion!
One snag though. God damn keepers
