Just figure a way to start using your full skill set and dive in. I had my entire garage floor filled and had no space to work. I said "fuck it" just threw all my free time at it. I started selling stuff & moving what I could into my basement, and a week ago got enough room to move my 2 motors & tranny around. The stuff I sold paid for all the motor parts too.
I got motivation by getting something I can toss all my skills at - H2B on the cheap. It involves machining shit, fabbing little stuff, off the wall ideas and basic a+b=? stuff. I usually hate projects because I just have to toss money at them. For me this is a lot of fun now.
I found a just-imported JDM H23A for $655 shipped that only needed **A $5 BOLT**, got a F22 to do the bulk of no-adapter H2B testing on, and can finally put the rusty del sol vtec to work as a motor swap test bed. I also have enough parts to get a third motor going (86mm 11.2:1cr h22/f22, or 11.9:1 f22a6 if JD wants to rebuild the head & put in a 272 cam) for my project Civic. I have less money into 3 H2B/F2B swaps so far than my brother has into his 155whp B16. So far it's been about a month and I am going to be pulling the b16 out this weekend, and hopefully getting the F22 in to finalize some angles & dimensions for my brackets/mounts.
In other words, DO WORK!
