Got My Essy. Adjustable Cam Gear and Alum. Idler Pulley got the cam degree'd and Timing all set.
Just thought I would share a picture of my progress.

Heres a pic

The bottom end has been completely rebuilt and bored .03 over with speed pro forged pistons. The head has been completely redone with all new valves and has been mildly ported and highly polished. The E6 has been ported and the Turbo has a rebuilt CHRA.

It has the Brown Top injectors which have been flowed and matched by Cruizin Performance, and also the Kirban AFPR on the polished fuel rail.

Still have a ways to go yet!

nice looking car, how hard was it to get the 87+ hood/IC onto the 85? how efficient is the oem IC?

Thanks.

It wasnt that hard to do but you have to make some modifications.

I am not going to go back to the 87-88 factory style IC when I put in my new motor. I got a GN IC but I dont think I am going to use it either I am leaning towards the Stinger FMIC like in KEVS 86.
