Today was a milestone day. The machined engine parts are back from Action Auto and we?re delivered to Roger?s very cool garage. Kenny and Gene were also there so we got a good visit in. Wonderful to see everyone in person.
Here is a picture of the 200 block, head and other parts in the back of the CRV and ready for delivery.
the dual pattern block was bored 0.030 and the crank 0.010 on both main and rod journals.
the 1980 head has the larger intake log as a bigger carburetor hole which will help it breath better. Because it also has a bigger combustion chamber, 0.014? was taken off the block and we found some flat topped pistons made for a Ford Tempo. The end compression ration should be 8.73:1
Roger will get some progress shots as the assembly happens.
