LSVTEC Pics

I finally built my lsvtec motor.  I started with a 90 b18a block which i got almost for free.  Got a b16a head for dirt cheap.  Traded a integra chassis for some forged SRP high compression pistons.  Shotpeened, polished and balanced the stock ls rods and installed ARP rod bolts.  Smoothed out the b16a head and had portflow do a 3 angle valve job and install their spring and retainer package.  Micro polished the crank for free from my friend.  traded some integra seats for some AEM cam gears.  PNUT lent me his old gsr cams.  Installed all new bearings, new gsr oil and water pumps.  And if this still isn't fast i'm going to nitrous it.

here are some pics of the build up.

Shotpeened rods and SRP pistons ready to go.

Rod bolts and head studs.  I over torque mine by mistake and they said they were still good to re-torque.
