For everyone that has been asking me how the progress is going on my Cabby, here are the latest pics of what the hubby has been up to:

Viva la Purple Power!

Would a port and polish help any on those engines?

yes! and i'll be able to tell first hand by spring. i have a P&P head with a 2mm shave sitting on my workbench waiting to be put on.

P&P is on the list, but not for this engine. Basicly, this engine is replacing the one thats currently in the car.

I'm going to rebuilt the other engine, this one I'm just cleaning up and making purdy while replacing a few seals and gaskets.

The engine I rebuild will be getting P&P, prollie bored 20 over, new pistons/rings/rods/balanced crank and mild cam. That is unless I find a nice cheap 2L to cram in there instead. Which at some point will get a neuspeed SC and water injection.

Paint has now been applied, small advance in the work but looks really nice

so where are the pix?

Paint isn't finished just yet. This cold snap has made it difficult to get paint to stick and I'm having an issue with one intake mannie bolt. However, there should be some pics this weekend as I intend to move some heater in the garage so I can do some more work.
