Yippee!
Wow!...More pics!...thanks Jack!...I can't believe this is MY car!!!:eek:
I think that buying this engine will turn out to be the best money I spent on my GN in a long time...if not EVER!...:eek::D Claude. :D Quote:
As for the tranny, believe it or not, but it's still the original 200-4R that was "beefed up" by our late friend Eric Schertz (Dynotech):o. At the time he built it several years ago, it did cost a bundle for the "bullet-proof" parts, electric trans-brake, but it NEVER gave up on me. I guess it's appropirate to say that "You get what you pay for"...After two years of use, Eric took it apart to inspect it, and found NOTHING not normal...so he just refreshened it up, and it's been on the car ever since. (Thanks Eric!...);) Also, my girlfriend Claude and I have already begun making plans this afternoon to be there (NEBRA BBQ) next weekend, as soon as I finished speaking with Jack who just told me the great news that my car was finally done!! Yippee! :D Thanks A LOT Jack, and see you there! Claude & Claude. ;) |

I do feel sorry for that little 200 though. I'd be making plans for a 400 ASAP |
Here's some finished pics under the hood, also a few pics of the new shifter..

Here's the shifter installed, a really neat shifter, too bad it's not made anymore

Jack...unfortunately for some reason, :confused: the pics in your last two posts don't work or appear...There are only some white squares and inside of them, a message saying: "This image or video has been moved or deleted - Photoshop"...:( ...BUT curiously, the ones you posted a few days ago are still there!...
Claude. ;) |
They're working normal here... try again...
|
Well, I tried again, using my computer as usual, but no pics. Then, re-tried with ANOTHER computer...still no pics!..:confused:
Claude. :o P.S: Maybe a third person could verify this?... Jack, I have one question: You were saying my new engine was a "153" motor...What exactly did you mean?...Is it the block casting# ? (as they say for a "109" block?)...and is it an "on" or "off" -center motor? |
Yep, I messed it up by setting up separate albums... guess I can't do it after posting pics.. should be ok now
|
YES! ...works now!! THANKS..
Claude. ;) P.S: Have you read my question at the bottom of my last post?... thanks! C. |
Yes, it is a 153 on-center motor, it's the best of the best blocks. It is actually the block I was supposed to get for a former TSO customer of mine, but the deal fell through at the last minute, when the block owner disappeared for a year and left me in a very bad position...

That TSO customer...was it your good friend "TedA"? :D Anyways, I thank you Jack, for giving me the opportunity to get my hands on such a great motor! If it wasn't for you, this could not have been possible! So "153"... it's the block casting # right? Thanks and talk to you soon, Claude. ;) |
Sweet Ride Claude
Claude I was at the shop a week ago today and I must say that car of yours came out FABULOUS my friend. HOLY SH!T - best sounding street driven GN I've heard.

I'll be back at Jack's shop sometime next spring for a little fine tuning and to fix a few little "bugs" that are almost inevitable after some big modifications. Now that winter is coming, it'll be time for some (actually A LOT !) powdercoating, ceramic coating, chrome, more detailing, etc...:D See 'ya! Claude. :) |

With the help of my son, I removed a bunch of parts to send them either ceramic coated (mostly exhaust parts) or chromed...
well, the T/A stainless steel headers as well as the 4" downpipe Brian made are back from the ceramic coating and look simply g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s !!:eek: (see pics below). I'll post more pictures when everything (ceramic coated & chromed parts) is back on the car... see 'ya! Claude. :) |
Looks great Claude... by the way, give me a call monday... Ricks called, the fuel tank is ready!! Weather is beautiful down here today, looks like Joey drove the twin turbo T up to Lebanon Valley and Brian H. is out riding todaY AS WELL... Looks like I'll be doing yard work and watchin football...:)

Here are some pics of my engine with all the ceramic coating and chrome done...I even had the grooves between the ribs on the fuel rails powdercoated candy red to match the turbo housing and the fuel pressure regulator...Now that it's nice, let's just hope it'll RUN!...:)
