well i’m gonna try to have it runing bey then but i doubt it will happen. even if its not done though we’ll probably stay at the red roof in and i believe AMS stays there and thers usually a ton of dsm ppl that hang out and drink and BS in the parking lot at night so its still a good time. There might be some other quick dsm’s with us but it all depends if everyone’s shit is together by then ---

OK OK I didnt post up some updates in quite some time so here we go. Since finding a good used empty block from CBRD I had committed to the Buschur Racing stage 3 block and head, along with some agressive high lift BR 272 camshafts. Also I had the tranny and transfer case built and put in a new Evo RS front diff. The 03-04 Evo’s came with a open front diff so wheel hop has been a issue. The new diff should help in that regards The BR stage 3 Portwork ![http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/peteypablo2133/dan%20n%20motor/DSC07032.jpg](http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/peteypablo2133/dan%20n%20motor/DSC07032.jpg) Valves and combustion chamber ![http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/peteypablo2133/dan%20n%20motor/DSC07028.jpg](http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/peteypablo2133/dan%20n%20motor/DSC07028.jpg) Valvejob and O-Ring ![http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/peteypablo2133/dan%20n%20motor/DSC07031.jpg](http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/peteypablo2133/dan%20n%20motor/DSC07031.jpg) BR 272 lumpy’s and ARP headstuds ![http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/peteypablo2133/dan%20n%20motor/DSC07038.jpg](http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/peteypablo2133/dan%20n%20motor/DSC07038.jpg) BR 272 cam lobes ![http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/peteypablo2133/dan%20n%20motor/DSC07040.jpg](http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/peteypablo2133/dan%20n%20motor/DSC07040.jpg) The shortblock all wrapped up like my dick in a hooker ![http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/peteypablo2133/dan%20n%20motor/DSC07041.jpg](http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/peteypablo2133/dan%20n%20motor/DSC07041.jpg) The block consist of Crower rods , JE pistons , blueprinted & balanced full rotating assembly has a 10k+ rev potential BR Supertech dual valvespring with titanium retainers ![http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/peteypablo2133/dan%20n%20motor/DSC07043.jpg](http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/peteypablo2133/dan%20n%20motor/DSC07043.jpg) I dont have any photo’s of the Tranny and Transfer case , but there really isnt anything to see anyway so who gives a shit. Much more to be had yet as a whole new turbo setup will be bolted up along with many other upgrades and lighter weight parts at strategic locations will be added as well. Any way though I would update so there you go , enjoy!!! ---
