Well... after what seems like forever at staring at a hollow engine bay, I can finally be at ease!

Thanks to Jeremy (MrMojoRisin), We were able to get the motor back in her today relatively pain free... I still need to secure some valve covers and fix up some wiring, but it's in. I'm hoping to hear her run tomorrow.

Here's what we started with: (refresher)


And now:





and now that the motor is in the electric works... and I could finally roll up my windows to stop MORE dust from getting in there... why did I leave them down? :doh:

Nice! I hope you get the motor running soon! Post some sound clips when you do. Maybe even some video!

[SS4Matt]

yeah that thing should skrrrt when it's back in!...i love your tint....i wish i could roll 5% limo all around...but i get tickets like mad crazy with ANY tint on my car.

looks awesome!

[JoeliusZ28]

Very sweet can't wait to see that baby run at the opener.

[93formulalt1]

Neither can I *giggity giggity* lol

[MattODoom]

Well i finished up all the wiring.. though I havent loomed it yet, slapped on the dizzy and some mismatch valve covers and snap, she fired up. It took some fiddling with the timing but I got it at about 10 advance and its idling good. I have one loose rocker thats making some bad rattles. Once I tighten that sucker down Ill get a vid of it and my dads street rod, his is much louder, but mine sounds badass too!

[93formulalt1]

Sweet!

[MattODoom]

OK I got a short video of it in "card mode" on my cam. Unfortunately because its not in tape mode the sound quality is a bit muffled Im uploading it to Streetfire... does anyone know of a better way to compress it easily. Its AVI and about 10megs.

EDIT: The player automatically compresses it... nvm. Which means the sound'll be craptastic.

Woot!

(yes I know I have a loose ticking rocker arm.)

Sounds good man, but if you know you have a loose ticking rocker arm why don't you fix it?

[SS4Matt]

yeah...what he said just kidding....but yeah that thing sounds perdy womp-tastic HAHA.....that has gotta be the cleanest 3rd gen i've ever seen too!

[greenmachine]

thats sweet...

[MattODoom]

Thanks guys. Yea that rocker was ticking really loudly and I actually did tighten it before those vids... apparently I missed one. Its an absolute ***** to get the pass side valve cover off. The heater hose, wiring, spark plug loom and AC is all on top of it. lol.
