I'm culturally enlightened,and I don't care if you run around naked and wear a bone in your nose, if you drive an NYG Neon, you are alright with me!

Not too much, been low on money... Still trying to locate some DOHC pistons/rods. I have the head gasket here. I'm trying to get the car trailer here today.

nice start.

Well today I finally got to get the car from my friends house and bring it to another friends house where we're going to work on it. Here's a picture of the car on the trailer just because I think they look awesome on a trailer for some reason....

We got the engine & tranny pulled out together from the top in under 3 hours. That's from the time we removed the battery to puting the last tool away. Pretty good time if you ask me...

The shortblock is still missing a few things. I got the modified DOHC pistons/rods, mpx udp, timing belt, head gasket & a few other parts ordered today. Tomorrow I'll take pictures of the old engine & engine bay. Also going to modify & clean the automatic tranny and pressure wash the engine bay.

No hate from me on the kitchen rebuild. And we got almost the whole deposite back.

I don't think I've ever seen a 420a bolted to an engine stand this way...

Me neither, I'll keep that inmind. I've always attatched so that I can't do anything with the flywheel haha.

While you have the bay empty, it's the best time to do some real toothbrush-n-soap cleaning.
Also it's the only oppurtunity to get a goofy shot like this one:

I honestly could have it done in a day if I didn't have to wait on parts. I need money to order;

Valve cover gasket $12
Valve cover bolts & coil pack bolts Free
Accesory belts $35
Oil $20
Oil filter $5
Transmission fluid $25
Vaccuum hose from valve cover Free
MAF sensor Free
Exhaust manifold gasket $10
Piston rings & rod bearings $100
Spark plugs $8
A/C hardlines Free

Pretty sure that's all of it... Oddly enough I only need oil/fluids & belts to get the turbo R/T running :ireful:

Just let me know, I was gonna pay about $100 for the rod bearings, main bearings & piston rings.

95neon95 · **Posted:** Mon Sep 01, 2008 5:42 pm

there either rod or main bearings. i'll have to check the part numbers. but they are mopar bearings. brand new in the box. i opened them to make sure they were in there and haven't touched them since then. i'll let you know by tomorrow

just did a quick check online without part numbers and it looks like they are main bearings. there is 4 smaller boxes and one bigger box. i'll have a 100% answer for you tomorrow. just pm me an offer on them including shipping

Everything is at a stand still. Just waiting on the final parts to come-in before I can finish assembling the engine and bolt it all back into the car.

The piston rings & rod bearings are being delivered today, as is the valve cover gasket. Also need to run to the junkyard for some odds & ends kinda things. Also waiting for my new Fidanza cam gear to come-in. Need a set of a/c hardlines also, I thought I had a set lying around but I guess I gave them away.

Those pistons/rods look ok to you just checking? You should have said something I have a set of brand new mopar mains here I would have thrown in the box.

Seemed fine to me, I installed them lastnight. Thanks.

Well, tonight I ended up coming home with;

NRGY race ported magnum head
full radius valve job
1mm over sized valves
magnum springs

Magnum box intake manifold
custom made by Nemo

Longtube header
Crane #14 cam
Fidanza adjustable cam gear
and a whole box full of parts. Pretty much made me turn my direction more towards this car also! As soon as I move I'm pulling the 3.94 tranny and all the 5spd stuff out of my R/T and will be puting it on this car. Plus I still got that nitrous laying around :cool:
