Officially kicked off my motor build today with the aquosition of a H23 engine(I'm just using the block, check my post in the for sale thread for the left over parts). Woke up at 2:30am today to drive the 6 hours to Rochester, NY to pick up the motor(went to bed at 11:30pm which makes it a total of 3 hours of sleep).

Made good time getting out and was uneventful(surprisingly not alot of cars out from 3-6am lol). Got there, the guy was a good guy and seemed to know what he was talking about, and best of all not living in the ghetto.

got it all in my car and he said he had drained most of the oil out of it, so I was like alright lets lay it on its front then so we do and oil just pisses out of it. luckly soaked it up before it go onto my mom's interior.

The worst/funniest part of the day was I was driving along and said to my friend "The motor is in there pretty good, it shouldnt move around"
Then had to stop for a read light.
THUD
"That sounded like a motor".

it was all fine though, and i'm not even sure it was the motor perhaps just another piece.

But yeah anyways made it back home after taking a little longer detour then planned and got home around 6pm(visited my friends sister at the University of Rochester for lunch).

Here is a pic.


Then because I can:


Anyways as some of you know my plans are to build a N/A drag motor out of this motor, with goals of 300whp. The motor will not get much done to it right away, as I am low on cash. She is instore for a good cleaning however probably over thanksgiving break. I will keep updating this thread with update on the progress.

 

haha thanks man, She takes all my money, most of my time, and of course some of my blood and tears. But running(hopefully) a 12sec 1/4 in a N/A Accord..........priceless

 

Hopefully this new girl of your wont drink as much.... oil. The last was a dirty Keep us posted. After we ride in falkores TCed tC, I want a ride in this thing. You don't understand how much I miss my 5th gen

 

Oooooh ..... I see a closed deck!!!! Perfect for boost!!!! There's no major machining to get the Darton MID's in there?

 

I guess if you dont consider this major machining

 

LOL .... I didn't think so. Good luck on the build!!!

 

picked up the H22 head, came with intake manifold and such. Valve cover is already off to sandblasting.

 

test?

 

been trying to post for 2 days and it wouldnt let me, so rather than typeing everythign and embedding pictures at first if it wasnt goign to work just said test then edited it.

 

haha. If I write something big I usually just copy it into a txt file before clicking post.
