I feel so bad for you, man. All that time and money wasted because someone you paid was grossly negligent. If he truly gave you that timing table, then I believe you should get statements from other tuners and take him to court. That guy absolutely cost you thousands.

 

Sorry for all trouble. I was curious how the block held up with the bigger bore for the 363?

@erics3000 the block held up fine.


Oct 29, 2019 update

We finally got the custom pistons in the mail a few weeks back they were very expensive and coated in anodizing from Weisco (also took forever to get them). The cylinder with burnt piston cleaned up at 4.129 so the new pistons are 4.130 the old pistons, pin, locks = 572.5 grams the New pistons, pin, locks = 574.5 grams

Also the Ed Curtis cam came in the mail within 3wks of my online purchase with him. Very easy transaction.

Slow progress but we're getting it done. Money isn't falling off the tree's like it used to, but I'm trying.

 

well it looks like now I'm in the market for some new Rods.

Anyone have any suggestions? H or I beams, name brand? Budget is $1,000

 

Wow, that original under dash wiring was b/s, even if one of his minions did it he should've owned up...after that I wouldn't of trusted his tune for chit

 

I am curious to which anodize was used on the pistons if you know?
Diamondyze?

 

I am not sure. my engine builder ordered them from wiesco. They showed up coated just as you see in the picture from weisco.

We ended up buying Oliver I beam connecting rods.

my new motor should be going in this weekend. Its complete on a stand. Wish I could upload some pictures like I could before.

 

well the new motor is in and I'm waiting on the fab guy to give me the OKAY to haul the car to him so he can do some repairs on the turbo hotside. I have a bunch of pics but for some reason I can't upload them on here like before

I have a dyno session scheduled for 2nd week in June. I'm going to get the car running very soon check for leaks and maybe put a few grandpa driving miles on it.

 

Where did you get those cool red rubber terminal covers?

 

Brad Nagel wired the car for me..that was all him. I ended up putting the factory style plastic cover there to try for a cleaner look. The car sat in my garage without a motor for a long time, I regret not hauling it off to a body shop and having my engine bay repainted and maybe fill a bunch of the holes. To late now

 

I bought the motion raceworks boost solenoid bracket kit and a few push to connect stainless fittings with 1/4" tube. I'm trying to clean up a few things and get rid of the old 1/4" rubber vac line that was all over the place.
