Hello,
Well I hobbled around well enough this last week to move my
"new" engine into the garage. I removed most everything from the long block. I inspected the mains and rods and found I have a good, useable 20/20 crank and bearings. I still have to remove the timing cover and see if the chain/gears are OK or have to be replaced. The old oil was brown but did not have any
foreign material..
I started to sand blast the intake and exhaust manifolds and then remembered I needed to take some photos.. Not much to look
at yet. I remeasured the engine and it's just gonna fit..
The front crossmember was relocated by a previous owner. Down
about 4 inches... I might have to put a small window in it for
the front dampner, but I won't have to cut up the firewall..
More to follow as I make progress..
