very nice casey! I know exactly what you mean about watching others play not having the super awesome car of your own. Its great to actually be living out one of your car dreams! We should probably go out and terrorize the town when you get yours done. :-D[/quote]

I'm jumping on the VEMS wagon with the assistance of Marc since they make Plug and play harness for the 200 20v. Progress tonight : got the head off and everything looks great! Hard to believe there's 254k on it. Pics will be up in the morning

Took some more time today to get the top end of the motor apart - here's what it looks like!

Firstly, metal distributor gear FTW!

Clean intake tract

Image


Cams do these look a bit rough? - thinking some 7A's will find their way in

Image
Image


Image
Image


So far so good...

Image


Here's how the bores look - oil is from removing the spark plugs with a failed valve cover gasket

Image


254k miles!

I noticed my 3B block was in perfect shape as well, in contrast to all the MC blocks I looked at with similar mileage (those had big ridges).
