Engine Removal

**scvscions** · 08-09-2007, 09:27 AM

Now I think everyone knows I'm serious

181 miles on the odometer

I'm painting the motor and I'm going to smooth out and port match the cylinders. Top: as you can see the valve cover is going to be this anodized green and I'm going to airbrush some money on fire cause I think I'm just burning it. The head will stay aluminum, the bottom end will be grabber green. The header I'm going to leave stock but paint copper I hope(if I can find the color I want). Trans is getting LSD and a lightend flywheel and performance clutch. The intake will be color changing silver and green. I'm contrasting the engine to the body color as the car will be House of Kolors Blue. I'm not going to say which blue yet. The firewall will be plasma cut diamond plate so you can see the reflection of the intake. I'll have more pics soon.

Wow! This is going to be amazing Jason. It's like watching a reality show.

Okay, you have officially lost your mind! Why you would purposely ruin a new car is beyond me.

*Stares at Jason's pictures with obvious jealousy*

J/K Bro! You said you were gonna take it to the next level - You're well on your way!! You planning to add some boost, or keep it N/A?

Looks like SCV has been on an extreme moddin' rampage here lately. Awesome work and definitely one-of-a-kind. Can't wait to see finished work.

Just wanted to say DAMN!!!! why leave the header stock BTW? not being a but-head, just wanted to know.

**scvscions** · 08-09-2007, 07:42 PM

Supercharger is coming soon

Leaving the stock header cause of California Smog laws. You know I'm going to get pulled over with this thing so that's one less thing to worry about.

181 miles and the engine is already out of the car... Wow...

Now that's a commitment to modding the xB.

I dont know what to say. 181. You crazy man, but loving every minute of it.

**scvscions** · 08-10-2007, 11:37 PM

I drove it to work too with NO hood, fenders, hatch, windows or interior (I had a fold-up chair for a driver's seat), the looks were priceless and I took the back streets early before traffic.

**scvscions** · 08-16-2007, 02:11 AM

I have the bottom end painted Grabber Green. I'm still wrestling with the color for the valve cover.
