Yes I know I'd need help considering this is the first motor I've ever messed with plus I still have much to learn about building an engine, I'd appreciate all the help I can get lol. the oil pump is new with boundary engineering pump gears.

My old motor will be my engine build adventure. I'll rebuild it when I have time, I've got a fresh set of pistons and rodz plus new rings. plus it'll be nice having a spare motor around, just in case, God forbid this beast dies for some reason!

Found out that my Head gasket is screwed on my stock block..... so it's perfect time to install the built bottom.....

just ordered a cometic .40 thickness head gasket, I'm expecting to see my Arp head studs from disturbedfan any day now and once the head gasket is in I can go ahead and get her in!!!!

When do you think it will be running again? You will have to do a break in run to Tampa.

Braineack 12-08-2010 09:31 AM

wait, did you remove the nice new built motor for a junky old stocker, or just failed to put images in chronological order?

aug 12-08-2010 10:16 AM

I believe they are out of order.
