Awhile back(last year lol) I started on a S/C build for my mostly stock ZE. Well as most said I would do, I gave up on it. Would have been cool to see a massive M112 on a KL, but there is just something about N/A that keeps me going back, so here is N/A build number 2. A little bit more serious this time.
December 2012, pulled the motor, Got it all stripped down. Then it sat...and sat...and sat...
Did cheap and small things, redid the entire harness, and stock 323 charging harness.
after
Bought a seat and put it in made rails to fit it.
That was pretty much it for most of 2013. I lost motivation for the most part. Sold the wheels off the car and that was pretty much it. Fast forward to March 2014. I was tired of having a carport ornament. Got to spendin'.
Had a bunch of goodies on the way at the same time. Here's what I working with.
ZE block
Clevite bearings
K1 H beams
Wiseco 11.5:1 pistons
Wiseco rings
ARP head studs
Jay Racing Phenolic spacers
DE heads full port and port matched (should be dropping off tomorrow)
Interprep springs
G4 retainers and locks for the intake side
Interprep 280/9.4 cams
ZE mani
Mx3 trans
ACT 6 puck unsprung clutch
Fidanza 9lb flywheel
Walbro 255
Gates Racing blue belt
Ms1v3
The chassis got some upgrades as well:
New brake master cylinder and lines
CNCBrakes 412 staging brake
Tokico HP blue struts for the rear (still on backorder)
XXR 531 15x8 +20 in brand new Kuhmos for street driving
Bogart Pro stars 14x6 with some small ass ET drags (probably will end up ditching these)
Quickcar ignition control panel
I've still got a lot to do. Trying to make Import Showdown in Reynolds, GA on the 25th of next month.
What's left:
-source an oil solution
-take the heads and block to get machine work done
-build the motor
-drop it in
-tune
-may or may not get another custom axle from DriveshaftShop before the event.
Shooting for 220whp. I'd like more but trying to be realistic. -__-
I will keep this updated. Hope you follow.
