Hot Rods My engine is DONE and ready for the coupe! Pics and vis

That is awesome. What's the deal with Burns intake? Did they make mostly banger stuff?

 

Shit, gimme a break, it's STILL a 4 banger I have no idea what it will be like on the road...or like a 300 mile drive

 

And she's out. Gonna do some cleanup under the hood, then plop the new "B" in it's place!

 

Looking good, Chris.
Don't forget to have a look at the throw-out bearing while you're in there. It's a shit when they go and you have to pull it all apart again, just a few short weeks after buttoning it all up. Go on...ask me how I know this!

 

Thanks for the advise Artiki. I installed the V8 tranny last winter and put a brand spanking new one on then...probably has 3,000 miles on it. But I'm gonna give everything a once over, as I really do not wanna have to jerk this thing back out

 

sounds good

 

Your WAY too late I bought this Truckstel last spring sucka'...and going to look at a Borg-Warner O/D next week

 

Got all he grease and grime cleaned off the old red firewall and waxed it, and have the engine double checked and ready to drop in tommarow morning I would have done it tonight, but fought a busted off pressure plate bolt that snapped when I was buttoning her up!

 

Wow, that looks great. Good lookin coupe man.

 

Got it in. It was kinnda a bitch to get the engine mated to the tranny with the stock A mounts...makes it really hard to wiggle it in to place. But it finally went. I started bolting some goodies up, need to make a fuel line and some other shit, but hope to have it running next weekend or so, depends on how long it takes to have my radiator repaired.

 

This thing looks even better in person! good job
