I'm going to tear it down but I'll take it to a machine shop to get it magfluxed and machined flat if it needs it. It came out of a old sedan that wasn't beat so I'm expecting it to hardly need anything at all.

I'm going to do the work on the heads to clean them up and I'll do most of the putting together.

Should be a torque monster when it's done, am definitely going to put in frame extensions to stiffen the body up as well as some extra bulk in the cross members.

It will have a full Ridetech set-up plus some other body mods that I'm planning. Going with 18 / 19 wheels on it too and minitubs. Will be one unique bird!
