Questions, comments feel free to fire away. I will be ordering all the rebuild parts this week from MSA i.e. gasket set, timing chain kit, cam, ARP fasteners to name a few...

I'm so stoked to get this started FINALLY!!!

I will get pics of the motor when I dropped it off at the machine shop uploaded tonight..

Go ahead and cringe, she will be pretty and very functional afterwards :classic:

Good solid groundwork goin' on there Joe. Won't 400rwhp need some serious boost?..Keep us up to date, it will be interesting.

WHAAT? Geez Gary , I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I read that! :laugh: ....but I can see what you mean. I quite liked the Yenko Stingers, but I'm sure Joe won't mind me throwing this in to clear it up for you.

Jim.

What! dont you know a skyline when your looking at one!

Couldn't tell me how much the crank weighs, since your engine is dissasembled could you? Been trying to find an approximate weight of a crank(LD28) so I can estimate shipping costs to Australia from overseas.

Corvair

That would be a 1970 Nissan Skyline GT-R (not mine of course). This is my dream sports car to own of all time.

Thanks Jim. I'm guesstimating 25 pounds max boost with 10-15 on the street. My C/R should be around 7.99:1-8.16:1

I'm only guessing I would say it was between 20-30 pounds. I'm stopping by the machine shop tonight, if he has a scale I can weigh it for you.
