Noessssss!

I just caught this project today and I get to the final page and he is selling it?

I must say some of that custom fabrication work you were doing was absolutely fantastic!

I was poring over every page trying to gleem as much information as possible.

I am handy with tools but custom fabrication? That's a whole other world of inventiveness that I have only a simdgen of.

Good Luck techni.

LOL, I did the exact same thing! I almost skipped to the end but decided I didn't want to miss anything interesting.

Reading through this project got me thinking,

I have a 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII, with 4.6 V8, 32 valve, aluminum block and heads (nearly the same as a Mustang Cobra engine) that I would LOVE to cram that engine into a small, light car. I was thinking one of the older Nissan Z cars Could part the VIII to pay for some of the project.

It isn't as much of a pipe-dream as it would appear; my family owns a fairly large, fully capable fabrication facility. Including CNC machining, turning, plasma, robotic welders etc. (I personally program and setup the CNC machines and robotic equipment)

It sounds like a fun project, but I would probably get half way done then quit only kidding man, just sorry we didn't get to see this through to completion.

What the hell man? Are you selling it because of grad school? I am sure you have put a rediculous amount of time/labor/money into this engine and now you are going to sell it???? How far from completion are you?

Pisser! I wanted to see the end results and I know this project came to a halt weeks ago but was hoping you had a change of heart. Hopefully, someone will buy the motor and continue the project.
