Thank you Fred!

[Phantom409]

Whew, my boys helped me out
Thanks guys!

finished the rest of the motor tear down so it can goto the engine shop Monday.
Removed the motor mounts, disconnected the power stearing pump and removed the center caps off Red's wheels.

Tomorrow the K-Memeber will come out and parts cleaned that go back on.

Red has about 30 more pics that I just sent her

Awesome progress Kyle! That intake manifold looks like it's been leaking oil for a LONG time...lol.....that's the one thing I HATE about old school SBC's...they always develop a leak there over time no matter what you do.

[Phantom409]

Ya, the manifold had a small leak but the crank seal in the timing cover was the worst.

157,000 miles

Today's progress pics.








The new clutch has arrived.

[Derek]

looks like you caught the car at a perfect time for a teardown. How did that thing hold oil between oil changes? its alllll over the place! Can't wait to see this all once its cleaned up an new stuff goes on, with all those miles I bet you would be blown away by simply having a brand new stock motor put in. However with all these mods your reallllly gonna love it.

[SoulTerror]

What are these parts? Is one the alternator or starter?

That's your starter.

Progress is looking great!

[Old Fart]

Thanks Mark!

[WMCCjames]

Wow, your old bearings look great for having that many miles on them. I've seen bearing look way worse than that with less than 10K miles on them.

X2 mine with 1500 looked 10 times worse.

[Formula Z]

im so jealous. cant wait to see the finished product. can i have a ride???

[phoenix_rising]

ROTFLMAO! Yay RED! You and your pit crew are doing a "bang up" job!

Thats not a bad idea about the engine hoist! Maybe I will have to take a pic to demonstrate the proper engine detailing technique using one of those...

P.S. I'm second in line for a ride
