Well I was hoping to get a season or so out of my donor engine but after pulling the heads off we found valve marks on the pistons so a rebuild was inserted into the budget.
Its been a saga.

First off, it was kinda obvious that the engine wasnt the one the donor came from the factory with.
Im no code reading guru but it appears its from the truck line..oh well, a 302 block is a 302 block.
On the bright side, it was still the stock cylinder bore.

...

What a saga!

Ok, Im almost back to square one (minus a few bucks)...but now I know exactly what I need and want.

Purchased NWC rebuild kit and preceeded to rebuild the nwc out of the mustang...and then things started going strange....

I contacted speace-atl from the other ...

I really dont like the way blogs reverse order your posts for a build log. It should read from oldest to newest in my opinion so I've been making up backdates to get it in the order I want.

I suggest you use these links ...

Well, I got sidetracked (again) during summer and not much got done on the car.
This time it was mostly money related....I went on vacation and had some legal papers drawn up that cut into the budget...also, it was just too damn hot and I was out catching baseball games and whatnot.

Thats about to change as I gear up for cooler weather. Ordered my front tires today (Kumho 275/40s) and plan on buying the parts needed to finish the front suspension and a guage package..and maybe ...
