What am I doing to this perfectly good engine?
Pulling the head…
Grabbing some parts from the, uhh, other parts engine (pulled my VERY decked head)
Reassembled with the new head! (and bright blue paint!)
Art!
Basically I got my headgasket kit way before I thought I would, and spent the day putting on the high-compression head, running the water hoses, and generally reassembling the engine. I should get the other parts orders thursday and Friday, so the engine should be in Monday or so. I should be getting the coilover collars on Thursday and can do the install on those. I’ll drop the car as low as it can go so I can be cool!

Why we’re not using the old engine
The crew got together this weekend and got the old engine out, removed some weight, and had a generally good day

Engine bay cleaned up nicely:
I’m looking to use the 3M WindoWeld I got to fill the rear torque mount. The manual conversion wiring harness, pedal box, and shifter assemblies are installed, and I ordered $250 in brake(most of stuff was safety related) and engine shit to get the engine all prepped and ready to go! I got some $20 harbor freight oil press and water temp gauges, and I’m on the hunt for a decently sizedtach. This car will be LIGHT when we are done with it.
