Got back to work and pulled the ge motor out again to strip the necessary parts off for the GTE motor. The engine bay was so dusty from not touching the car in a while.

Also got the GE harness ready for some conversion love

I was very happy with my machine shop. Definitely did a great job cleaning the head up. Considering it was yellow and brown and now looks brand new. I just cant wait for it to go on a motor.

Intake I just might do in wrinkle black. As well as the valve covers. Clutch will be a Competition Clutch Stage 4 and CC flywheel. Absolutely awesome clutch and I love the driveability. My last setup I ran around 30k miles on it daily driving and it was perfect.

If all works well I might have a motor in the sc within the next week or so.... Hurry up with yours Omar. I wanna hear that baby fire up.

Remember this car lol. I just happened to get my original SC back this week and went to work pulling it apart. Decided for the time being that I will use my rebuilt GTE bottom end from my green car and keep the built motor for a back up. Plans seem to keep changing and I'm just dying to drive this thing lol. So here are some pics from yesterday.
