We drove down to Montgomery, PA to pick it up off of Wes Ross. I got it for $500 and it came with tons of parts. I havent gone through the parts yet and it was dark when we got there but a couple parts that caught my eye was a brand new Gates Racing blue timing belt and a mint condition Hyundai valve cover. Right there is $250 worth of parts.
It came with all the drivetrain as well as 2 engines. One spun a rod but is complete and the other has a few nicks on the pistons from contact with valves after a timing belt failure. The second one looks to be usable so far and it is a 6 bolt. This was the perfect deal for me.
The engine in Mary didnt receive any damage from the accident, minus a hole in the oil pan after being smashed up against the suspension. But that is no big deal. So that engine will be going in this 1g. I had just built this engine a month and a half prior to the accident. It has a built head with BC 272's and BC valve springs. It was also ported on both intake and exhaust sides.
All the bolt ons from Mary will also be going on this. AFPR, FIC 1600cc. injectors, Fidanza flywheel (if it's in tact), EVO III 16G, etc. I will also be tuning using ECUflash and EVOscan with an Evo ECU. I am very excited to begin this project and will be updating this regularly!
Here, I will keep an updated list of parts and costs invested into this build. I will update this throughout the log and keep it in this post for easy access.
