Nice hood prop.

Thanks, took the stock on off and then realized I needed the hood to stay open lol, canoe paddle to the rescue.

Port matching the heads. (I will never do this again. Such a PIA and very boring)

My 2000 Civic had a small oil leak, so I tore out the motor and put in a much better one that didn't leak.

I could never convince anyone to let me put their 350 small blocks in my 77 Starfire. It was probably for the best, looking back. It would've wound up bored out to a 390 stroker and I'd have been going 200+ around 465. That thing drove like a boat at 100. Without downforce I would have flown literally. I almost did some dangerous things with an 84 Tbird, but I just replace parts now.

WTS: T5 transmission and clutch kit. Come and get it for $250, negotiable. Set of headers available as well.

My projects are a tad smaller in scope:

 

[AllenM]

Does this count? I'll try not to flood this thread but here is something more current I did 2014 4 series BMW and yes this is my work and not an employee except for the paint.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Pretty and pretty. I don't do pretty much, more functional.

lol mine started out as a simple swap stock lt-1 into s10 but then I was like well the motors out has some miles lets rebuild. I tore it down and was like well it's tore down the cylinders are worn lets punch it out. Then we'll I can get a crank and rods from 400sbc and with my now larger bore I'll have a 383 stroker for a bit more and who doesn't like nasty raw power.

That looks really nice. I can't wait to get mine done and go race some Hondas

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

This is my project, circa 1983. Hopefully she'll look this fine again.

1983 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Oh that looks like my pirate car, the 84 bird, but I painted mine satin black. It was scary aggressive looking, and I literally walked into it a few times in the dark. It was even hard to see in the daylight. Glorious.

I had an '84 turbo coupe, it died at the hands of a pissed off kid (me). I blew the transmission apart missing a shift from second to third, I punched it back into first doing about 50. She was black with black trim.

I did a 86 s10 20 years ago. 400sbc 3inch drop convertible . Miss that truck.
Currently doing a 66 olds starfire. Have a 73 stingray off the frame also... 4 speed AC car.
Did a frame off on a 66 Honda ca160 a few years back too. Always something in progress. Lol
