SO on the long and boring drive to Little Rock I've decided to do an engine build and hold off the turbo system. I'm going to ask around town to see if anyone can do the 4.5 conversion on the 370. If so then check to see if it will be cheaper to have someone local do it compared to what GTM charges. I know they charge $16k+ and that doesn't include you shipping them your block. So probably around $18k+ to have GTM do the build.

so are u going to do the engine build with the standard low comp pistons that the gtm kit comes with to plan for fi in the future? or just do an na build and maybe have them swap some high compression ones? would be badass if u could stay NA and make 400whp

I painted my door handles 3 times. twice due to wear and once the handle broke so i had to replace.

Lasts little less than 2 years. the was they stick out catches debris and will eventually chip off. not bad for spray paint on something you grab million times.

professional painter wouldn't guarantee and quoted $200.

oh and Sherwin William's auto paint store can make your color in rattle can for $20.

dont forget to wet sand and polish!!!

Oh you know me. FI all the way. I figure it's going to take about a year per upgrade but I'll get there. I'm hoping someone around town will be able to do it for less than what GTM is changing for the 4.5 engine.

i think the painted handels will look badass

lets do it !!! cause not gunna lie, could be last hoorah in my z

pretty sure gunna be putting my z up for sale

starting talking with a 510 guy on west coast and has a 2 door body work done, waiting for a new owner to pick color to paint. could build it exactly as I want.

also has a completely finished turn key one with a ka motor in it.

im just afraid my z will turn into huge money pit in next five years. deprecation of value , parts breaking, not to mention constantly modding, which adds zero value.
