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 jawdrop



To this... eek

i'm jealous of your high-compression frown

Maybe i'll buy some l32 pistons...

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....

set aside a lot of time. I did most of mine on my own, and it took a lot of time.

lol.

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?

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.

Dude, do you have the fueling adjusted for the larger injectors?

If not you might be running hella rich...
