Nothin like a clean engine

They never seen to stay very clean hahaha. I got one side of my frame painted today. Still need to clean under the engine bay so I can paint the frame in there before I stab the engine in

Looks good. Are you brushing or spraying?

got a box from L & L last night. Has my motor mounts and my oil pan kit. Still waiting on headers and power steering bracket but those are supposed to ship this week. We will see. Went out this morning before heading to work and got my engine bay frame rails painted. I would like to drop the engine in it tonight but I'm not sure if that's going to happen, time will tell

Now I see how you get so much done, switching into hyperspeed to knock things out [cl
I especially liked the ending with your little helpers on the job (magic elves? )

Berta has a new heart!!! I removed the front grill insert so I can take off the old broken lights . While I had it out I figured I might as well install my new ones . I will also Mount the oil cooler that came with this big block behind the grill insert and in front of the radiator so that will be done before I put the insert back in

 

[lowbudget50]

Oil cooler mounted, engine timed and spark plug wires installed, power steering pump is bolted up new fuel pump is installed and she is ready to crank over, will it start? Or burn to the ground? Found out in the new video!!
