just still not sure what ur talking about.. i for the most part have removed and filled all the little holes and extra pins that arent needed, about as clean as it can get.. the firewall i havent really dont much with because it should be out of sight.. the top few bolts that stick out i should be using to mount stuff on..
what misc' stuff are you refurring to! (i wanna know, cuz i might do whatever u suggest)
Suppose to be picking up the motor friday or monday, if that happens. motor will be installed this weekend, and then i can go ahead and get this bad boy running by the end of next week. really nothing left for me to do that related to getting it running.. oil and fuel lines are the only thing thats left to do.. and thats by no means a hard task.

update on the motor.. will be picking it up tuesday.. gasket set that was suppose to come in today that they needed to finish didnt come in.. local dealer said it would be delivered monday morning to them and my guys would have it finished before they close on monday. so ill get it tuesday.. probably install it tuesday also LOL.. just gotta wait and see.. might be able to get it running by next weekend still.. 
gunna talk to my boy chuck and see if he is gunna do my seats for me or not.. once the motors in, it might make a short trip back to EPM for them to help me finish a couple small odds and ends..
1400 in all for the machine work and assembly. ready to crank. thats vac dec honed knife edged balanced port n polished new valves and full assembled.. (but i did have all my own parts)

small change.. my rpw stage 2 cam just changed.. now its a rpw stage 3 cam and rpw springs.. still going to go bigger just not for breakin period. gotta love it when u have a bunch of lancer buddies with parts they are not using or want to get rid of.
should still be picking the motor up tuesday, just need to take the cam over so they can install it before i actually bring the motor home.

You are building great car. I can not wait to see the end product. Where did you find the ACL bearings? I am in the middle of my engine build and would like to use some quality bearings. Any part numbers or information you could provide would be great.
Thanks,
Zack

coming along pretty well.. at a stopping point right now.. waitin for my engine builder to finish. had to pull the bearings and fight with ordering different ones because they didnt get what we had discussed., and got held up with the wrong gasket kit on friday. should all be starghtened away now, the wrong gasket kit was delivered twice. hopefully friday ill be bringing home the motor to install it.. shoudlnt take but a good long weekend to get it ready to run.. but theres a few things that need to me modified still that i cant even begin to workon till everything is finished..
got my fuel line fittings today.. need to make one run by SECO for a few fittings, but other then that, all i gotta do is hook everything up... just waitin for the motor to be in now. gunna have to completely redo my intercooling piping.. and make some brackets to mount the radiator. and thats its.. really only 5/6 main things left to do.
(install motor, rehook up all accessories, run fuel/oil lines, make radiator brackets, redo intercooling)
all 1 step at a time..
hoping to have the car at import alliance by the 17th, but no telling on if ill be able to do that or not. i can only hope for the best, cant rush things when they have to be done right the first times.. no f ups

another unexspected issue.. wrong engine gasket kit was delivered.. we found out last friday when my bilder started to reassemble everything.. local dealer sent wrong kit.. TWICE! i had to call felpro directly to get the correct kit sent.. sometimes locals are retarded.. but i got it taken care of after a week of 'i think i can get it' crap going on. hopefully ill have motor home on wednesday. Will more then likely not be at import alliance in my car.. but it is still what im fighting to get get finished for.

wrong one was ordered, that was fixxed, then the wrong one was delivered. that was addressed, and now its been over a week and the correct one hasnt arrived yet.. not terribly worried.. everything else is ready to go. just need the motor and 1 full days worth of labor time, and it will be running. i even have all the bolts lined up and ready to hook everything back up..
have 8 or so locals thats are waiting for me to tell them to come over also. so we can get it running asap.. just one last real hold up. need to make a run to my parts store still.. but thats about it.. i need oil, and some braided 8an line and 4an line.. and shes good to go..
edit* friday 7/16/2010
