After waiting for so long I finally got my motor in today and started breaking it down.....here's a few pics, i'll keep updating as i progress. Now i need to clean it up and get the block to a machine shop. the best part is the whole motor was free. Came out of an M35 with only 27,000 miles on it. The owner never changed the oil so she got a new motor. Only thing i see is some sludge build up but that can be fixed!!!

 

Whoa...that's some serious sludge!!! LOL

Good luck!

 

looks like a fun project..what are the plans for the motor?

 

bore it out for bigger pistons, new rods, valves springs, cams...the works. want to add the powerlab single kit to it. looking to get 550-600whp. this is the first time i have done anything this extensive so it will be a learning process and some fun.

 

Nice!!!

 

Wow, previous owner really didn’t take care of that engine. Good choice on ST, only herd good things about PL. Good luck and keep us posted.

 

Wow good luck cant wait for more.
