This escalated quickly! 1.8 is out, getting ready ready for the 2056 to go in.
 I will start to clean up the engine bay and the underside of the car to prep for the new motor.] |

I hope I can get the new one back in! It's still being built, but the new 2.0 AMC heads arrived on Wednesday, they are beautiful. I picked up my tins from the powder coat shop on Friday.
It's official happening. |

you know i can't endorse you for rejecting the eye watering power of a stock 1.8.

I'm pretty sure we have a thread somewhere about engine tin markings. Would be nice to get yours documented.

Haa! Yeah, it was hard to see through all the tears in my eyes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I hope I can get it back in properly! Im used to basic VW aircooled and gen 1 small block Chevrolet motors. There are more wires and hoses here... I don't know what the heck Im looking at?! My plan is to use the existing motor as my blueprint for reassemble. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I was looking at the wiring harness and it looks like someone modified it for something different than stock. There is a dual relay attached to it which has also been modified. I may send the harness out and have it fixed properly. What's the name of the FI harness guru? |
