This thread is not only about my build but all the new toys i get for my camry and im going to keep this updated. Ill get around to putting up a full part list updated pictures with this first post when i get more time. as far as the build goes right now im sending the block off to get a good bore so i can house 3sgte rods and pistons. already located wisco pistons and eagle rods for it. 87mm as far as the top end goes im still debating if i want to rebuild the 5sfe top end or just get a 3sgte top end and build up a 5sgte. after all is said and done with the motor i do plan on turbocharging with a hybrid t3/t4 setup. along with a 5spd swap or a fully built auto (also still deciding). i just started research on all this but the money flow is coming in steady and im just going to look at the build one part at a time money wise. Im not to knowledgeable about this whole build but like i said im starting the research and i do know the price i will end up paying. but it will all be worth it in the end (to me) i have many people in the car scene here that are hooking me up and helping me out because they really wanna see something new come out of myrtle beach besides all the hondas and mustangs haha. stay tunned.

how my car sits currently.

The donor camry i bought for my build (using motor and full interior for my car)

What are you doing with the transmission out of the wrecked Camry?

Chris Crash · 01-24-2011, 10:12 PM
