I hope that thing isn't in the basement lol. I would love to see the car once you got her all back together. Mine is pretty much ready except for a couple things like a tune and a new convertible top

First,
Looks awesome! Got a pic of the pistons or P/N for the short block? |

And yes it's in the basement lol. We will be able to carry it up though. I hope to have it in the car by the end of the month. |
That is an easy 500lbs. Good luck :lol:

The old L98 pistons were 4 valve relief but also a -12cc dish. That was the killer. |

From my understanding it's a late l98. The number on the pistons cross reference to lt1s too so I assume it's the later style. |

That's cool man. Wasn't trying to bust balls, just checking since it's still a bit early. |
No worries. I heard good things about them too. Kinda amazing they work since there is literally nothing too them. Did you copper coat yours?

The 1094's don't need copper coating. Technically they are shims not gaskets but being rubber coated they will seal up.
The non coated metal ones are the scary ones to seal lol. Spray the piss outta them with copper coat on one side, let it get tacky, hold it and spray the other side. I think the smallest shims I've ever used were .008" because I was trying to tighten up the quench on a n2o motor. |
