Time for quick update from the weekend activities:
Donor engine and trans combo has been pulled from the old car.
Most of the suspension parts pulled as well.
The freshly built SCP trans is being re-built again Thanks SCP
The freshly built SCP rear end is being re-built again Thanks SCP
Upon close inspection, the 800 mile SCP headers are having a serious coating issue towards the collectors. We'll see what they have to say about that.
In the meantime, I am gathering all the parts for powdercoating. The list is getting long.
Few pictures ; not really that exciting, but hey it's an update.

This car is going to be great.
It's so nice seeing an old car from California when you work on old cars from Michigan.
That car is amazing.
Hey Craig, do you know of any similar condition California Gen 1's for sale?
All the Gen I's & Gen II's for that matter out here are like that.
I look at them all the time. Rust doesn't exist out here.

My guess is something like a kb or eaton will be up there in the future.....gotta make the space! You don't know Jeremi by now do you haha
:::edit:::
Just saw you have 12 posts, that's why you don't know Jeremi! A blower on a a mark is practically his calling card.

Yes, the silver alu tabs are K-member shims, installed by the engine builder in prep for the blower install. They are too thick IMO, at 3/4". They will be likely reduced to 1/2" by the time this engine ends up in the new car. KB that shares the belt with the accessories doesn't need that much spacing. FYI, the spacers do not affect the suspension travel in any way detrimental to suspension geometry IMO. It's all adjustable, and within specs of the perfect alignment, at any height. No issues on three other cars I was running 1/2" spacers on.
The cobra intake was just a temporary solution since the original 2nd gen intake wouldn't fit the new heads.
Eric, 94m5 (Mike) knows me very well. He's just not a high volume poster like some here
My birthday present arrived just in time on Monday (day early actually). This should make my life a little easier.

I know J alot better than my post counts would lead you to believe.
I've been around the proverbial block a time or two. In fact my 95 was the first cars he spaced the k-member down on.
Looking good J!
