A Street Sleeper is reborn! THE END

[procta]

well I have made a start, I am as ready as I am going to be. I do hope to Christ this all goes well for me, as this is future or bust!
I prepped the car,




all stripped as far as I can until the big one!




a look at the water pipes and oil





yep looks like caramel, the coolant was water in the end anyway. didn't take that long to drain off,
So I left the car as it is now, until all water and oil is drained off over night.
This has cost f*cking fortune has it not so far!!
My dad came home, and we double checked the timing setup, as I timed the setup and locked it off. ready for the big one.
we decided to check what the crac is with the engine,
I took the engine number and had a look on what it is, as I have suspected that this engine isn't really a 160 unit.
But today I found out that its a 2003 160 engine, not a 143 unit as I suspected. Which is a massive bonus, when I bought this engine, it didn't have the correct rocker cover on, which made me think was it a 160. I did wrap the 143 setup on it, which is or was a better setup for tuning before the later stuff could be mapped up.  (this is going back 6 years now)
So I found out its newer than we thought it was, which is great.
