newb to 240's, but not the scene in general

Hey everyone, I just recently acquired an '89 s13 hatchback from a buddy of mine with a running single cam and near flawless body for $600. As of right now, the interior is completely stripped, so I'm working on painting it and putting at least the front half of the interior back into the car. Once I get it back together and driving I plan on going KA-T with the single cam. After that blows up (I know it will eventually) I'm going with a dual cam, or some other motor swap. I'll get pics of the car this weekend most likely.

Until then I'm driving an '07 Civic Si as my daily, here's a pic:



Mr. Spade from Clubrsx referred me here btw.

Thanks guys, I can't wait until the 240 is able to drive. It's all in pieces right now.

Don't waste your time with a sohc KA-T. Old technology, horrible for boosting, it doesn't have oil squirters.

SOHC to DOHC swap is cheap, and if you turbo the KAde you will be much more happier with the results.

I don't have pics of the 240 yet, but maybe this week. Where would be the appropriate place to start a build thread?
