I honestly lucked out. I found a dealer with 4 cranks, 6 counter balancers, 2 rotary shafts and seals in stock from back in the day. I offered to buy it all so they gave me everything for current cost
Wow, I would have done the same for sure. You probably saved $600+.

Got my cylinders back from Dan at Full Bore today. Quality work and turn around time was spot on. Iv been using them for years now and never had a issue. So if your looking for a bore hit them up fullboreonline.com
Went with Pro-X pistons. For those of you who dont know Pro-X is made in Japan by art which is the same company that makes OEM pistons for Yamaha and Kawasaki. So I know this is as close to OEM as ill get without spending big bucks.
Im gonna throw the two Challenger motors together this weekend. The other kit is for my GSX build that ill post when i start it. Going Rossier and a couple other goodies

This weekend was a bust! I was sicker than hell so I will be assembling the motors and paint this weekend instead. On the bright side, I recieved my turf today. I decided that since I have spent a crazy amount of money on this thing so far why stop? I went with the Elite turf and I gotta say man was it worth it. Very clean looking and soft

I love it when a perfectly good budget goes down the drain and you keep going because you might as well:cheers:

Wish I would have know, I would have told you to not waste your money. In 18 years of owning my Speedster I have used the weedless intake grates all of 2 times and 1 time was just to try it. I mean I managed to suck up a golf ball once and had to limp back on one engine. Even with the grate I couldn't dislodge the golf ball, I had to drop the pump anyway since it was sliced into by the impeller. Those mats look cool can't wait to see them laid down.
I only asked as I have a set from my 97 challenger 1800 I could have sent you.Intake gate will be replaced since they are currently broken
I removed mine when I bought it as the weedless system had been removed and the grates were sikaflexed in the up position

Finally back on this boat!
The weather was finally nice enough to spray the motors this weekend! I went with PPG paint color is Peweter Metallic and turned out excellent
Carbs were also gone through and rebuilt with genuine Mikuni kits
Hopefully installing this weekend so I can start on my interior
