engine install party woohoo!

Down to re routing the light wiring. .

[Lucky SOB]

Looks like fun! What are your plans? Fill, smooth and repaint?

[ruckusz28]

Just an engine swap. The under hood is clean enough for me to be happy with it. I'm just removing and repairing hack job wiring from the previous owners of 30 years. Apparently duct tape is a suitable replacement for electrical tape lol

bringing this thread back from the dead!

any updates?

[ruckusz28]

Well I have the engine masked off and ready to paint once I get the freshly powdered items back from Darren.

It's been a waiting game to save money for the parts I need with the holidays, paying for vacation, and my annual insurance bill which comes due in February.

I'm back on track got my spec clutch in the mail. Once I get my new pulley brackets, it'll just take a warmer day and the engine will go back in!

Sweet! Did you see what I bought?

[ruckusz28]

No, unfortunately I haven't been on here much as of late.

Check out my thread when you have a chance. I'm glad to hear that things are moving ahead on yours. It was one of the nicest third gens out there last year.

[ruckusz28]

Thanks Brian!

Mike did you have your car at the Rogers show last year? I think I took a picture of your wheels...
