few cell phone pics of the engine bay before the winter
removed my useless AC system last night, I turn it on a few times a year to make sure it works since the windows are normally down while I'm driving in the summer. |

well a new short block was ordered from a local shop and it consists of
SCAT 9000 SERIERS CRANK I BEAM CON.RODS. FEDERAL MOGAL FLAT TOP PISTONS. BLOCK BORED 030OS. BLOCK DECKED TO .015. BLOCK HAS BEEN CLEANED MAGNIFLUXED WITH NEW CAM BRGS AND BRASS FROST PLUGS. ALL PARTS ARE NEW. ROTATING ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN BALLANCED WITH NEW BALLANCER(SFI)AND FLEX PLATE then once we get that back it will be attached to the rebuilt automatic trans that's already here( auto trans was a requirement from him). i have new aluminum heads for it, and Edelbrock intake and the race carb that was already on it. the rear end gears are currently 2.73 and those will be changed as well once the engine is done for a better ratio. this car is his weekend/ show car so it does not have to be good on gas... the motor was a 305 originally, it will be a stroked 383 when we are done plus the rest of the goodies that will be installed. few pics of Camaro |

with the seat swap how did you deal with the side air bags or does the mazda 3 have the same set up air bag wise.
were the seats a direct bolt up to the protege runners or was fabrication needed

as for the air bags they will be removed when i have the seats recovered or i will have a look through the wiring as i have all the pieces needed to make them work minus the wiring which i could easily copy and wire into my car if i see fit. the only thing i know im keeping is the heated parts they will be wired into teh oem switch in the car. |

did you know some euro-spec P5s had heated seats? The switches go on the console next to the parking brake... might be worth looking into finding the proper switches

few new products and finishes from Signature Products. Brian currently has all of my engine bay pieces as well as few other pieces for coating and welding, Highly recommended
new catch cans and valve cover in his new Chrome finish GB's can be arranged as well as single shipping points to save money on his products |
