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.

If in the crap-hell are you selling this?

Don't be a fool, it isn't worth the time and money you've put into it. Nobody wants a half finished motor anyways. Continue the build yourself.

That is all.

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.

Makes me sad. Has anybody completed a V8 G35 other than Top Secret?

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.
