Everyone else has a rebuild thread so I decided to be a conformist and post up one of my own.

Here are a few pics of the starting point.

Crackership

Not a bad starting point!

What are the plans?

Jeremy Himsel

Find some cheap slave labor and go from there.....

azbanks

FIFY!



I would not be doing this without the expert help from Jeremy. If you work with him, be careful because he is a big fat liar.
He SAYS he is ONLY going to ADVISE and assist a little and you have to do the work. The next thing you know he is under the car, turning wrenches, getting greasy, busting his knuckles, and generally doing everything that needs to get done.
There are people in this world who will give you the shirt off their back...
Jeremy isn't one of them...


He doesn't give you the shirt off his back, he goes upstairs and gets a clean one.

If you let the pressure drop, it will wear out the insides faster.

Thanks for sharing, I look forward to seeing your progress!

Belts, S&R, and wheels.

I'm painting the center caps to match.

Belts, Alternator, Clutch, M-tune.

Wide Band, Hoses, Oil Cooler, Engine mounts, Intake and Hard Pipes.

That's it for now. More pics after some work gets done

Your list of performance mods are very similar to mine with the exception of the Vitesse Turbo and your 3" down pipe. We should compare dyno charts at some point in the future...

Good luck, I bet it's nice to have some help!

I'm just going to quickly take credit for coining the term Himsel Haus

Jeremy's a real bastard when it comes to not letting you do the work yourself, eh?

Once the engine is properly broken in, I will be planning a dyno trip.
OTOH, you could make the drive out to Rennsport Reunion and we could do some over-the-road comparison testing.(In the simulator of course just in case any of internet nannies are listening in)

Having help is invaluable since I don't know WTF I am doing. I'd be selling it for parts if Jeremy wasn't there to show me what to do.

It is a good name. I'm hoping that the HHMS team is much faster on the track than they are in getting the car ready to go to the track.

If you were closer, you could be helping out with this build. I could sit back drinking beer watching you two put my car together.
Then I'd let you take credit for "HH" and my engine build.
