Build up pics, so far...

[Kevwood]

Here is a link to my photobucket site. There will be lot's more pics to come over the winter as the new interior and bodywork are a few weeks away from getting started. I am also dropping the engine out over the winter again for a few more mods, so like I said - lot's more to come.

NOt bad at all. Got that 3.4 spinnin' pretty quick, 'eh? What mods are in that engine to get that kind of power out of it, though?

Stock intake manifold, stock throttle body, stock cam timing and stock exhaust manifolds for now. The items in bold were added after the 257WHP 230WTQ run, it's now putting down 250WHP and 250WTQ with the new tune. Over the winter I'm swapping to the 96+ manifold, adjusting the cam timing and adding custom headers. I have a number in mind that I would like to see it lay dow, but I'll keep that to myself for now.

I'm also putting new interior in it, seats, gauges, carpet etc. The headliner and panel will all be re-covered. After that then it's off to the bodyshop for some fresh paint.

That's pretty impressive. I imagine you're looking at seeing near 300WHP, based on what you're saying! I know that thing has to be a hoot to drive. I've got about 270 crank horsepower in my Cutty, and it's still got an automatic, and it's a lot of fun to drive. Good luck with your project. How fast do you plan on spinning that DOHC?
