Started at 830ish 9 ripping into the block. About 12ish it was down to just the bare block. Two hour break picking up last minute things and a lil clean up of the block, heads and what not, it began the transformation. Took us (2) people until about 10 to get everything bolted in a wired up. Started it up for the first time and it smoked like a mother for about 20 min or so. So all that needs to be done is a tune, a vac line, and a the grooved idler so i can put on the supercharger belt. Overall its not an easy task, if it wasnt for an experience help i prob would have be lost. So consider this gt boosted, well soon enough the hard work is done!!!!! Here are some crappy cell pics i took From this... Her naked To this...

Andrew i would plan on at least 2 days if your going solo. pay attention to every detail and make sure everything that is matting gets cleaned well. my friend put a medium grit paper on a die grinder and with light pressure, made everything nice, smooth and shinny! oh and triple check everything and try to remember the order stuff goes in its a bitch to go back 2 steps to ahead 1....

Well the motor is coming out for the headers/intercooler/cam install anyways so why not, eh?... you know you wanna help Corey! :p What would it be considered then? A top-swapped l32? or an l67 with l32 pistons? holy identity crisis batman. don't mean to threadjack. Looks good man, do you notice a big difference?

Looks good man, do you notice a big difference? [/b]or just buy an L36 block. Cheaper and easier. If you make the trip down here, i would be more than happy to help out.
