as the title says i just wanted to share w/ you my 336 mexico blue c2s 4.0; this car started its life out as a factory 3.8. i've been a forum lurker here for quite a while (just used for the forums to diagnose a bad variocam actuator) and even was going to create a build thread however couldn't maintain it as i wanted ...
trying to think of where to start ... for starters the engine has been completely rebuilt and bored to a 4.0 only using the original lifters, rods, and sensors (however both variocam actuators and lift solenoids have now been replaced) ... the problematic issues (if you want to consider them such) have been address - cylindrical roller bearing ims w/ thrust control and nikasil coated cylinders

.1, tried to keep it as period correct as possible putting no .2 parts on it minus the steering wheel as i prefer the look better, need the .2 clock spring module thought for horn operation

it's a cdr24 (non-pcm hu) that i re-finished in matte black along w/ the hvac control unit ... i damaged my pcm by spraing windex directly on the screen lol ... worked out though as i think the cdr24 streamlines the interior better
