I was wondering who that was. I was on my way to Battle Ground to grab a 200mm flywheel so I can use my current clutch.-

Re: The Blue gO_0n Build?
So whats going on?
A waiting game!
Derek came over last weekend. Started cleaning up the block from all that terrible silver crap. Had him de-ring the pistons, while I brake cleaned the block (only I found that would dissolve the silver stuff that coated EVERYTHING).
The first thing I noticed, I was not a fan of how the rod journals looked on the crank. A tad not polished for my taste, but then again this is a datsun motor, and it could be just fine. But one thing is for sure, I would rather not have to open this block again.
Next thing I noticed. As Derek was placing some pistons onto the ground, I glanced over and noticed something wrong. It turns out 2 of the 4 pistons have a chunk of metal missing between the first and second rings.
So what is the plan? Thats all Derek. I want him to find a new L20b crank if possible. He did order some parts that were needed, and some have even showed up at my house.
So whats next? New pistons, a quick hone job. Assemble the short block. Drill necessary holes for LZ conversion. Assemble motor.
ITM Bearings.

Sweet!
Still haven't found a crank. In the middle of moving for the next couple days. After that I can get back on track with this...

Finally got the exhaust done today 
Doesn't sound too bad...
New downpipe, thanks to Eagle_Adam
2" pipe all the way back to a Cherry Bomb. Tucked up above the tranny x-member nice and high, no more scrapping :mrgreen:
Will get daytime video and pics tomorrow.
