They are new though Les Schwab

 

well if they go they go...i didnt really have a choice with my tight budget, but if they do go before my eventual GTE swap then ill splurge on some good ones...but until then theyll havta do

 

if ya still got um when these ones go you got a deal!!! haha

 

We're gettin closer!! As of today I got the pistons in, and the head torqued down. Gonna get the cams in on Sunday (Hawks tommara!!) An do what ever else I can do until my oil and water pump come In wensdayish



I'm gonna polish up the head before I drop the engine in

I also was board an had some extra spray paint layin around so I did this!!



I know they engine an block don't match at all but it ain't no thing haha...i also wanna wrap all my wires in either colored electric tape or mabey colored loom...either way I'm gonna have a very vibrant engine bay.
I've also got a line on someone that can clean, port n polish the old head an a line on someone else that will grind the cams a lil more agresive and all that plus a full exhaust (dose obx still make headers for the FE?) An I might deffinetly have a hot little FE

 

So update on the wires...just happened to look on good ol ebay for colored loom an stumbled apron these. Paid $15 for 60" of 5/8" metallic gold wire loom. It should spice up the engine bay juuust a little!! :hehe

 

yea dude im pretty excited. i also am gonna repaint the block before i drop it in. i found some forest green block paint so that i stick with the color scheme that im gonna have once i paint the car (forrest green/gold). the cars deffinetly gonna be lookin hoop for awhile but when ya pop the hood itll be cherry haha. an i did find that OBX still makes 3sfe headers so ill still end up gettin one not only for the performance but also just to clean up the bay even more. I still am eventually gonna build that GTE the rest of the way but for know im gonna make a Hot little FE an then when i finish the GTE whenever ill drop that in an have a good back up motor

 

So with my engine out I decided to do a little work with the engine bay on the celica

Before


After


Also repainted the block (better picture in future)

 

Hmm didn't really think about that but now that ya mention it prolly the later. Is it a matter of just running longer cables an building a box?

 

Got the intake painted an just about finished puttin the motor together...gonna polish up the head an other used non painted parts
