looks like u have a good start!!

 

mmm looks like fun to todd!!!

 

wish i had money and time ha!

 

the head sitting next to me isnt nearly as pretty as urs.. not yet atleast lol

 

for now i'm just being lazy and putting the bolt on stuff. when i drop the engine for the trans swap we'll also do the pistons and head at the same time..


not really that expensive... i think under $4k for everything and that includes trans/clutch/head+porting etc...

 

oh nice! thats not bad at all!

 

might think about getting the lnf slave cylinder while your at it.

 

yeah i had a question.. the TOB has been the same correct? I found a new TOB with a mfr date of '07 on the shelf here, guess i bought it for one of my other projects a couple years ago.

the slave i know is changed, but not sure on the TOB... any info would be appreciated

 

the slave and TOB are one and the same on the cobalt. they integrated them into one piece units. if its got a green rubber sleeve its lsj, no sleeve its lnf

 

ah ok... yeah it's green, need to get a new one then

 

btw pistons and whatnot are on the way to ya.... usps finally showed up to pick up everything today after 3 missed pickups and about 5 phone calls to the main office lol.

 

mine too?

 

Should be a solid build!

 

ok thanks man... we're going to drop the engine maybe the end of jan/feb but the turn around time on the plating is ~4 weeks so i gotta get them shipped out to that shop soon.

 

check didn't show up yet, but those rods are sitting wrapped up in my drawer at work ready to go

 

good deal, should be after the holiday...due to postal delays

/end thread jack

Selfinfliction, car is lookin awesome man, cant wait til its together and all polished like that

 

the throw is a tad bit longer on the lnf ones vs the lsj's.

 

so it's still safe to use?

 

depends on the step height of the flywheel. the clutch set up i plan on running it is required to use it, but then again. it's a heinz 57 kit.

you should be ok either direction you go. you may want to consult act to make sure

 

ah ok so if their kit works on the lnf it should work on this one?

 

yepo. it works with the gm clutch kit as well. if the step height between the two flywheels is factionally different you'll be good either direction.

 

beat me to it. and so far it doesn't leak.

 

forgot about this thread... recently just ordered:

selling ported & welded M62

bought OTTP stage 3 kit

sold the magnaflow catback

bought corsa touring catback

sold AEM UEGO

bought PLX DM-100 OBDII gauge with wideband controller

just bought today a set of the new Darton MID sleeves

went ahead and got the sleeves cause not sure how long the motor will last with the harrop. plan is once everything is rebuilt to run meth and bump up the boost to about 25 psi

 

looks like a lot of fun! keep us updated!
