From the looks of it i still need exhaust studs. Cap, wires and rotor.

Thanks for looking. (No my engine is not blow just really tired)

 

LOL, so about half way thru the first picture I was ready to give you some grief over waiting todo a tune up then I got interested when the header scrolled by, then I saw your wrapped package of shiney stuff and now I have to apologise for the bad thoughts. Sorry happy unwrapping

 

Im so happy i finally got everything to start this project. Sadly i am not swapping it. Haveing a friend do it. I dont have the time.

I take it in monday. After that i get to go order exhaust studs.

 

Exhaust studs and nuts are cheap at dealership. No need to fret.

 

im assuming your camera date is wrong seeing as it says march 2004.....

 

Was thinking the same thing, had to look at the post to verify the date

Well good times on the motor keep us updated

 

Yea the date is not set. It goes back to that date everytime the battery goes dead. So i gave up. Nothing really new yet. Truck is just draining as we speak.

 

That NWOR Tri-Y will be sweet! It should really help with low to mid range torque!

 

I hope so i really didnt want to break the engine in on it. I wanted to see how the engine performed before and after. But the exhaust manifold has a few leaks and i dont want the valves to get air that early.

 

Not to exciting. Just pictures of the progress.

 

Haha I was thinking holy dead thread from the pics dates! Anyways I don't think I read where/who made the motor?

 

Oh man thats like putting a tuxedo on an unbathed well driller. Break out the scrub brushes!

 

Got the motor from a machine shop in springfield oregon called caldwells. The place gets lots of good reviews and the engine has a nice warranty.

Yea i really wanted to put some time into cleaning the bay but its sorta a time thing. Plus i miss driving the truck.

 

Just get some engine de-greaser and a scrub brush and at least clean SOME of that off... It'll make you feel better (well, it would for me) to put that motor in at least a semi-clean engine bay!

BTW: that NWOR header should provide 25% more low end torque according to their catalog! I really do wish I had a 22re sometimes
