Red Headed Stepchild-75 Swinger LSX Swap
Man oh man has it been a busy one.
Where to begin....
After doing a once over on everything with the machine shop, I decided to go ahead and hot tank the block, run a hone through the cylinders. They doubled checked the deck just to be sure. He is turning the crank slightly to make sure everything is good to go, and I have all new 10 thou undersized rod and main bearings going in. New cam bearings just because we're already in there. I have a new Melling high volume oil pump to put in and decided to opt for a new set of Wiseco pro series pistons seeing as new total seal rings for the ones i have was about $515 which is half the price of new pistons anyway. Everything is going to be rebalanced together before going back together.
Going to be a tight window to make COVA Auto Show at the Virginia Beach convention center November 21-23 but I think it'll be good to go now that they're going to assemble the short block and I can finish the rest myself.
After that, I have the back half race Dig or Die Christmas Clash down at Rockingham, NC December 6-8. Most likely for me though should only be racing the 6th in the extreme street class.
