John's EZ36R H6 818R Build
It's about time I started my build thread. I've been following the 818 since its beginning, waiting patiently to pull the trigger and start my next project. From the first time I saw Wayne's thread on putting in an H6, I was sold. Love the idea of a naturally aspirated torquey motor, and then there is the exhaust note. I do a number of open track events each year and my current track / street car takes a lot of abuse for it. The 818 checked all the right boxes for me as a track car.
- Light weight
- Easy to work on
- Inexpensive parts
- Able to be built in my garage
Having 165k on the donor, I found many of the donor parts to be unusable so I have been replacing and rebuilding as I go. You find all kinds of cool stuff, like busted teeth in the transmission .

As the donor was from the north east, lots of rusty parts too.
Here is a quick timeline to bring you up to speed.
