AWESOME progress!!!! You gotta get taht best up and running! Man...that sure is a pretty engine bay...hell even the oil pan is purrdy

 

hell yes. Glad to see it all come together. Better late than never

 

thanks guys...gotta late night of hooking up everything so I hope to hear it run tonight.

 

Looks great...............

 

Man I sure hope that bad boy starts and runs good. Did you put the engine stiffener I send you on there?

 

Sure did...its now yellow!

 

Did you get to fire it up today?

 

Nah I got the upper plenum on and realized my cold start injector needed to be routed directly underneath the plenum instead of around. One of my tips on my Iridium plugs broke and it was too late to go back and get another so I got the P/S pump and alternator on with all the belts. Noticed I had a T missing from my vacuum line that connects the vacuum line off the master cylinder with another line at the passenger side. Got all the exhaust hooked up. I'm going today and get them parts I need and finish up tonight.

 

Got it together...coolant leak on the front of the motor somewhere under the timing cover. To be continued.....

 

Coolant leak stopped over night..cranked it over and I got a fuel leak under the plenum. Diagnose that this evening.

good deal...

 

Cold start injector hose busted in two places.....on order and will be here Saturday morning.

 

Located hose and it is being shipped today from Houston. You should get it in the morning.........let me know......

 

Good deal

 

2 cam seals and one valve pan cover seal later...its finally in the driveway!

 

Yay! Now how much paint did you scrape off of the motor during the installation?

 

A little here and there...but the scrapes are well hidden!

 

Hell YES!!!! Finally.

Glad to see it alive....when are we wheelin'??

 

Its been a deep dark road that I prefer to never go down again...I still gotta put in the front cv's and get the recall done and the bj spacers but I should be game within a few weeks after I see how its broken in. Without Phil and his overnighting parts then she would still be sittin! Gonna check my timing tomorrow and the distributor to make sure I'm notta tooth off or anything. Still misfires at startup but it quits after about 3 minutes of warming up. All in all she still goes slow just as the day she was when I parked her!
