only mod to the conquest is the blown motor thats been sitting in the trunk for 4 years now. Not my car and if it was it would be running.

PROGRESS
SRP pistons, rings, SCAT rods, ACL bearings and ARP head studs are all in.


Head on

All thats left is to put the rear main seal on then the oil pan and its done.




The oil drain for the turbo on the new oil pan.

Well I hit a small set back on my motor build. after I got it all back together and put the spark plugs in it. I rotated the crank and got a really weird sound. It was oil making bubbling noises as it squeezed thew the rings. :1


I forgot to properly aline the ring end gaps on the #2 piston.

So my brand new head gasket hit the trash.


1.5 hours and $40 later its all back together.


Tomaorrow I'm going to clean and paint the transmission and hopefully start on the cluster swap and wiring.
