MY GTM 4.5 Block is Finally Assembled
 
Its been many years now and its finally put together . every thing that you think of has gone wrong.
the block and parts were rescued from Gama motors and sent to the engine shop that build them.
There were many parts missing for the build.
EG, pistons, head bolts and many more
the pistons are custom made and it took a while to get them.
The heads were ported with wolf cams installed.
great porting job except the top of the heads ware the cam shafts sit are damaged, and the cams will not fit properly
the heads are junk !!!!
Yes Sam does it to me again from the grave
I have a spare set of heads and they are now being ported and polished with over size valves installed.
its been about 5 or 6 years now for this moter.
i gave Sam my tomie cams and he installed wolf cams.
does any body have my tomie cams ?
on the good side of things . i have stage 2 gtm supercharger . and the custom made white dragon turbo kit with the GTR manifold and custom fuel pump.
Hopefully it will be running early summer time N/A .

I wondered if you were ever going to finish it. Guess I have the answer now.

:iagree:
That's what I was going to say. You beat me to it. Finally, here is to your nightmare being over. All this years. Think I would have put someone in the grave. Hopefully, you get the results you have been going for. :tup:

SS_Firehawk 01-26-2019 09:21 PM

Grats on finally getting your Motor!
I do have a set of Tomei cams and Supertech Valve springs if you're looking for some. They're sitting in VHR head and I'm removing them for JWT cams instead
