Great View under the front end

A view of the Moroso 7 quart oil pan. At first I was a little concerned with the clearance but looks good. Slightly below the skid plate. The Hedman Long Tube Headers were recoated and waiting for the Pypes 3" Exhaust System.

Heads

Two views of the heads and the top of the engine block …. While the engine is close to completion … I decided to rebuild the heads as well. Looks like most of the valves are original except for 1. Sometime ago, one of the valves needed to be replaced.



view of the engine bearings … WOW are they trashed!

A view of the engine bearings … WOW are they trashed!

The engine builder should resign! Most of the internal parts are new .. pistons, rods, cam, but all the bearings were severely scared. Obviously, the engine was assembled in a dirty environment.



Waiting for the POWER to arrive!

Another view - setting in the garage waiting for the engine

Waiting for the engine

Finally finished with most of the body assembly except for the "dog house". Waiting for the engine ... engine was in BAD shape!
