Ha-ha smartass!
From what I can tell it is identical in both port opening size/shape and screw holes to the Pr3 you sent me, so I assume just a stock one.

Putting the new bearings in/re-installing the crank-










and as you can see I need to start getting this together fast, I'm running out of room!

[Old School REX]

I also received my bumper lights from a certain "Sway", for the body portion of my project.

I also managed to snag what was said to be the last brand new Si bumper, or at least one of them.

[Old School REX]

wow, lucky... I need one now too. lol

Got the oil pickup and baffle on, going to do the rear main seal tomorrow and hopefully put the oil pan on unless I find something I missed!

Got the bottom end closed up today, also got my head gasket set ordered, and my headstuds ordered.







My counter is clearing!

this is a proper build,
id recomend leaving the Altinater brackets off the motor will make things easier when installing motor

Yeah I probably should, but if I can manage it would be nice to hoist the engine in using them!

Here are pics from last night, I was doing some valve lapping. I'm going to pick up my head gasket kit when I go in for work too.







And I decided to clean up my fuel rail a little bit, I'm filing off the casting marks, and I think I'm going to cut off the unused mounting bolts, maybe polish the whole thing a bit.

DO WORK! This IS a proper build. Really inspirational. Next on my 'learning agenda" will be how to work the insides of an engine. Maybe next summer?! Thanks for the inspiration.

[Lymitliss]

Ha thank you very much! I was starting to get worried because of the lack of responses but it had plenty of views! Im sure it will pick up when I have more questions again.

Gonna put more pics up tonight too.

Got my gaskets and headstuds! Hope I truely DID need the GSR studs!

Does anyone know what these are for? They are hollow, steel rings a couple inches in diameter. By hollow I mean they are completely round and enclosed, but from the weight you can tell they are not solid steel.

They came with my cylinder head gasket kit-
