• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Re: My Gold GTP - Updated 1/24 for winter build

a top swapped VS will be a nice setup. you could easily slap some 1.7s on it later for a little extra lift too.

Yea go ahead and see how much he charges. I was lookin into it also from the guy who built my trans. He quoted me $150 for porting and bowl work. I'm trying to get ahold of him again, sometimes he's hard to reach.
 
Re: My Gold GTP - Updated 1/24 for winter build

Meh...I didn't have the bowls polished. It'll be a good time to get new seals/locks/guides since your in there anyways and he can assemble the heads for you too if you want.

I'll call him tonight though.

Re: My Gold GTP - Updated 1/24 for winter build

Well scratch the VS cam I guess. I was awaiting a reply from the seller to send the money and he emailed me today saying it was sold. Not too happy seeing how I was waiting on him to see what all he had in an install kit that was to go with it, instead he sells it out from under me. Just my luck.
 


Re: My Gold GTP - Updated 1/24 for winter build

Guess we just have to put a bigger cam in it, that's all.

Ha! Yea I guess, but that's hard to do with the wallet delete mod. Plus $200 for a new cam and springs was retarded cheap, still mad...
 
Re: My Gold GTP - Updated 1/24 for winter build

Been slowly gathering parts

Arp headstuds, mainstuds, Manley retainers, comp valve locks, viton valve stem seals, comp rocker bolts, crow 105# valve springs, new chain and tensioner, and just about every gasket known to man. I need the s1x, and it'll be time to dig in.
 


Re: My Gold GTP - Updated 1/24 for winter build

Almost two months later....

Got tired of looking at it in the driveway accumulating bird crap. Decided to get it prepped for pulling.

Re: My Gold GTP - Updated 1/24 for winter build

Well I did as much as about I felt comfortable doing since this was my first time ever pulling a motor. So I recruited the Jew (bluegtp91). Nick decided to recruit another fellow gper Kevin (justav6) for even more help. I'm so glad Missouri has a rather large grand prix following and that are always willing to help. I appreciate it so much.

Re: My Gold GTP - Updated 1/24 for winter build

Got home around 11:30 pm tonight and decided to wrench on the motor for 30 mins or so. I wanted to pull the front head off to see the extent of the damage on cyl 3.
