How to build a 2.0l G/BGMR

If you are posting directly to the site and not using hosting, the Pic total has to be less than 500K bytes.... you can post up to 4 pics, so 4 at 124K, 3 at 165K, 2 at 249K...
You can reduce size several ways...
This has been discussed on several threads... search the site or google to figure it out... or just ask one of the grandkids 4 or older how to do it

I just tried doing 1 at 300kb and no luck

I will try again with this post from my laptop instead of my iPhone.

Wow, look at that 2 pics, 1 rotated for some reason. Try a couple more.

OK, so I have to transfer my pics from my phone to my laptop. Then resize them in Photoshop, then I can post them. Thanks for the push guys

. . . and rotate them in PhotoShop.

Stan is your monitor too heavy for you to turn

you should get a laptop like all us youngsters... they are easier to see sidways pics

They looked OK in photoshop. I did rotate them originally in my phone, so they must have a memory,(unlike me).

If you are using the old lakester, the photo is not actually rotated... the car was... at least by the looks of the body work

OK back to your Modified...

Hate to say this, but, we have decided against the automatic. We are reverting to the T50 that we were going to use originally. The ratios aren't that bad, and a couple of close ratio sets are available. The biggest hurdle is an adaptor to mount it. There was a manufacturer of them, but it seems he has closed up shop. We will get the engine and trans mated, one way or another.
Our only discussion now is about running a radiator or a water tank. What are the pros and cons of both of these ?

Sparky will tell ya go with the best of both.... put your radiator in a tank...
Do you have room and incoming air for a radiator... knowing that you may get drag from that :| air in has to find an out.
I would go tank and thermostat... but I'm just a guy with an opinion.... YMMV

Haven't been back here for a while. We are progressing with the build, the motor and trans is now mounted, the firewall hoop is tacked in as is the hoop to hold the nose.
We decided finally on a 5 speed manual out of a Solstice. Maybe not the optimum choice, but it was available and donated.
After resizing some pics I will post them. Thanks once again for some guidance.
