I'm new to the list, hi all.
I work for a body shop, so I was able to buy a wrecked 2004 envoy with 38k miles for $790. Man, does it pay to work where I do... The airbags didn't blow and are worth almost half of what i have into, so taht's cool. Anyway, onto the point.
I will be pulling the engine soon and will be attempting to get it running on some sort of fabricated rolling stand. Has anyone come up with a comprehensive list of what needs to happen to get this thing running? i have the whole car, so my plan thus far is to take everything out and start taking stuff off as i discover i dont need it. Also, is there any word on how stout the rear end is or how to tell what gearing it has?
one more thing, 10:1 is a bit stout for boost, what pistons did taht dude in the nova use? oddly enough, mine will be going into a 74 nova that i intend to be a road racer.
