The rotor's are obviously bigger, wish that thread was still around that discussed flow vs pressure, would have been good to check that out personally. Lemme know how the pump goes too.

One more ?, is that block already bored? Seems like one could bore it big enough to get a 2.3's piston in there (92mm bore)

Looks great man!

For your tranny, I would suggest some redline clutches (if you can find them) and a valve body job




DJTorello, LMR, El Fuego, whatever name he uses is a liar, troll, and fraud
Newbie with a Sunfire that has a different rev limit than the other hundred thousands of Js
His custom made header, AWESOME!!
His custom tubed front Sunfire from the dealer
His other personality stole his identity
Fastest 01 Kia in 97, check out his great pics and comments as well

Lookin good man - that block clearly wasn't hot tanked. Dirty as fack!

As for the oil pump - glad you listened to me and tried it out. Hopefully it does the job for you.

When do you anticipate you'll get to fire the motor?

Yes it is a cavalier deal with it

Re: Fully built engine assembly Progress thread!!

ok, pardon the ignorance on my part, but whats the deal with 9:1 compression and a pacesetter header? Seems like the motor's built for boost, I sure hope the header's temporary cuz all that just to slap a wheezy little M45 on it would be such a waste
