Update!

After moving the Z06 and the white car to the new shop, I have room to get the 92' on the lift.

Heres the future shop space of Evolution Motorsport Engineering!(half of it anyway-5000 Sq Ft)

First got the tranny out in a few hours,

The speedo-gear was melted and leaking..this MAY have led to the burn, due to the destruction(most of it anyway) was right next to and above.

After the tranny, came the engine removal...so far a decent amount of fiberglass damage, burned wires, a **** ton of halon fire retardant and a cracked cam cover. NOT TOO BAD

***

Going to pull the cam covers, and press on with a "soft rebuild for now,..and also today/tomorrow I will cut out the bad fiberglass and prepare to repair the tunnel, I will then dyna-mat the interior and rubberize/road proof-FIRE proof the underside.

Lookin good

My guess is the cam cover can be repaired?

oricale · 02-05-2016

Sooo... In place of the big cube engine for now(depending on crank time on anything bigger than a 368) after we finish the interior and wiring, I will go ahead and drop in the Chrome 91' engine I built in 14':

*Ported plenum and IH's
*plenum coolant mod
*52K on the block/internals

BTW:...Our plan is further than Evolution Motorsports,..SO with that in mind I will be using the cars that we bring back from the dead and racing them under the moniker "Revenant Racing".

When it comes to the rebuild of these cars I will be posting under the website

Just a quick update!

Was pretty bad...

Now not so bad

Cut out the rough fiberglass, will have pics when fixed

Repair harness to be soldered in, NO other damaged wires,..there is a total of 8 wires that burned, although I didnt need to replace the DIC harness, I didn't want to split the bonded wires (better plugs too!).

I have removed the rods', pistons and liners to begin the bigger cube build! (special thanks to Phil for the MUCH appreciated parts!!)

after the harness is fixed and back in place, will install the new hood seal and cable..
