im building engines, ive decided to leave my KA BONE STOCK! exept for a cat back, what ive decided to do is get a KA from the junkyard and build it up (or just get a new block and head) stroke it to a 2.65, turbo it, stillen racing cams and injectors with a new fuel rail etc etc, but before i do that, i need practice, my assistant manager and i where talking about his car and he said he'll GIVE me his old mustangs 2.3l motor to practice on, so we get it to my house and ive already got my plans,
what im going to do is port and polish the heads, hone it, fix up the bottom end with new rods and piston rings, new valve springs and give it a good scrub down. im also going to put that junk turbo on it to learnthe basic set up on turbo charging a N/A motor.
as for the alti itself, its near completion, its already for paint on the jambs and then it will be painted on the out side, ten its finished, the front seat im gettin yonka motor sports racing seats.
here some pics

i got another valve cover and painted it flat black, sanded out the lettering so its silver, and im looking for blue or black silocone vacum hoses, the red ones are pissing me off
the front bumper i deleted the trim and built the pillars up to meet the hood and cut out the retared fake air ducts, its annoying they make an effort to put fake ones there rather than to cut the damn things out
