IT'S COMPLETE!!!
(finally)
Thanks to FWD Performance (www.fwdperformance.com) i have a new motor installed! it's an 85 common block, with shotpeened T2 rods, forged cranks, forged pistons, ported & polished g-tub head, coated valves, and a 5angle valve job with a S3 cam in it as well!! Should be a fun time once it's up and running again!
Ground Control Coilover Suspension installed! along with adjustable KONI struts!
HISTORY...
This is my 1986 Dodge Omni GLH. If you're here looking at an Omni, you already know about the GLH model, what it stands for, and how potent it can be.
Here is the car when i bought it. It had no radio, no exhaust (cruise or A/C either) and I drove it home from FL to WI (1400miles) in 102' temps (in the shade!) in mid August of 2005.
It did, however, come with a Walbro 255, FMIC, converted to a T2 intake and a 52mm throttle body.
I have added a LOT to the rest of the car as well:
Engine has approx 100 'break-in' miles on it
