my y8 build
 

Ive been gathering parts since the day I got the car in late september. I should have the y8 in and running in early/mid april, just gotta get a couple more pieces and have the rotating assembly balanced. then i can start the assembly and get her running and tuned for break in, then some pretty big boost..... hopefully :y

Anyone play around with a dry sump oil system? Im considering this to prevent starvation on the poor y8 :-\

Looks nice, good luck.

Yesssssss. I can't wait. I LOVE the SOHC builds and for it to be a Y8. :y I have heard that the Y8 oil pumps are really great for the built motors. You can; however, use a Z6 if I'm not mistaken, but you lose the use of a dipstick I believe in the process. Keep us posted man. I love the Black on Black hatch. I'd rock that car for sure. :y
