I'm currently 16 get my lisence in 5 weeks and I'm on 11 weeks holiday. plans for the car are to paint it killrust red, hoping for a 5k motor, which i still need to find hah and putting a 3k bigport head on that i have spare for my race car with somthing equal to a 212 waggot cam for 3k. budget is around 1500 give or take 500 and i know it doesnt seem much but we have 80 percent of the parts allready and ill be doing all the work myself with a few favours from my parents brother and so on haah, got 2 little bubbles of rust so pretty happy with that. i seen how hard you guys give kids about holidays and projects so please don't lol. ill get some picks up tomorrow for use:)

At your age you can count on the 1500 going towards rego and insurance. Or is that budget not including getting it on the road?

uhh not getting insurance and if i did wouldnt see it being much. i got an ef xr which is 300 a year for everything

:lolcry:

wont work?

[Evan G]

will be perfect for a turbo set up. 8:1 compression and a huge cam will be slower than a stock 3k

$1500 will go nowhere if you want to do it properly-

 

any motor you get will need a strip down and a freshen up, probably a hone, new rings, maybe bearings, gasket set...

 

Port head, skim head, cut valves and seats, new timing chain & tensioners, grind cam & followers, extractors, new exhaust...

 

That's $2000 gone already...

i have a 3k in the shed thats only done 2-3 hours since freshen up that came from my speedway car last week when we put a new one in but a standard 5k would be better then a highly worked 3k? was puttin out 60hp with a 3.7 diff and 2 ratio gbox

[Figjam14]

Now my race car is gone this should hopefully get some loving:) over my falcon and want a rolla again hah. my mates giving me a ke70 tomorrow that was his old thrasher, will be just getting struts from it and its got all the engine and what not. apprently its got good mags but i doubt it anyways hopefully get some pictures for use tomorrow. budget has gone up also:)

[Figjam14]

yeeooow picked up the 70 and its got 14inch dragways :D

[Figjam14]

whats the best way to get your mags shiny? start off with like 320grit and end up around 1800 then polish? also if i clear coat them it will stop surface rust?
