That looks like a fantastically clean work area.

Just a quick update. Decided to go with the Manley I-Beam rods instead. After much reading, Id rather spend the extra money up front and make sure this thing can take anything I throw at it. Maybe I will try to go for 650whp+ down the road.

Gotta put the letter "L" at the end of your images to make them the right size on forums boards (from Imgur).  Example:  i.imgur.com/jP5hI09L.jpg

Well....


Finally got the motor after many many many delays. There was a lot of issues with getting here that Im not going to dive into, but after quite a battle it is ready.



Motors looking pretty nice with the shiny bits attached :



In she goes. Remind me to never work on a FWD vehicle again. Its a tight fit!





Some more parts bolted on, almost looking like a real car now :



Fun wiring up the extra 4 (of 8) injectors for the AUX fuel setup. May clean this up a bit down the road, i apologize for the mess :



My sweet color matched catch can doesnt fit in the stock location due to my billet manifold! Sad day. I have it tucked down by the front bumper now :




Bit more and tidied up a bit :



Pulled apart the previous motor! Thing was actually in great shape. Looks like just some cracked ringlands. Definitely perfect for a build. Friend ended up coming to pick it up to build up for his RS:





Pretty much ready to fire :




Unfortunately as with all builds, there was some issues.

1) My cobb accessport would not turn on. Somehow, sitting in a protective case for the last 2 years, the screen got damaged. So with that, I am unable to load up a proper base tune. The accessport has been sent back for repairs. Hoping for a quick turn around.

2)Me being retarded, I had taken off the crank pulley to put on an aftermarket one (which i didnt end up doing as there has been reports of issues). Not realizing there was a specific "alignment" that the pulley needs to go back on, the car did not want to start. After some digging found out my issue.
Unfortunately, to re align it, i needed some timing tools from ford. Luckily my friends old lady was able to secure me the crankshaft holding tool. This allowed me to set the motor to TDC (as well as confirming with a piston height tool, aka a wooden skewer haha) I was then able to install the crank pulley properly. Sure enough the car started on the first crank.







So I was able to get the car running, ran it through its first heat cycle and break in. Super aggressive with the cam setup right now :

On a side note, I ended up selling my super clean aristo. Gonna miss that car :




Buuuuut, I was able to pick up the new toy in its place :

2018 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Dusk Edition with the 2.8 L Duramax. Dubbed the "baby raptor"








This truck is easily the best DD I have owned so far. Between the super plush suspension to the amazing fuel mileage. This thing is sweet. I was dead set on the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro, but it just couldnt compare to the colorado.

The 2.8L ZR-2 is my dream next vehicle. What’s your fuel economy been like?
I don't name things I know I'm going to sell eventually. Hence why I'd never name any kids I had.

Close to 800kms on the first tank. About 70 lifers to fill up.  It’s supposed to get better as it breaks in more.

Oh damn, that Colorado looks great.

Also

If the sea was vodka, and I was a duck.
I would swim to the bottom, and drink my way up.
But the sea isn't vodka, and I'm not a duck.
So give me the vodka, and stfu.
If you're having forum problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but your post ain't one.

Looks great!

That's one of the few cars that has the Multimatic spool valves shocks in them. They just featured Larry Holt, who had a big part in their invention, in the most recent issue of Road and Track.  Not a lot of cars with those in them, and I guess they are what is used in Formula 1, on a lot of cars, really cool concept. For those that don't already know, it's a spin off of Magna International, and builds a lot of parts for both road cars and large supplier in motorsport.

I have read that the Duramax is a bit lackluster in the acceleration department, but mileage is excellent on it.  Unless it is modified for that model.

Multimatic is Canadas best kept motorsport secret. A friend of mine worked there in the 90's and told me all the neat stuff they were building back then.

Ooh, that was the height of it I guess. They started their motorsports division in the early 90's.

Yeah, the duramax is no race car, thats for sure. But it definitely is no where near as terrible as some reviews are making it out to be. There hasn't been a time where I thought there wasn't enough get up and go yet. With the almost 400 ft lbs of tq, it feels good.
