I had started the swap has of 3-18-09 and finished with it running 3-24-09. I thought it would be done sooner and it should have been. I was trying to get it to start for 2 1/2 days. But, when you forget to install the rocker arms, you kind of deserve it.
this is getting ready to install the head.
this is the head getting the final torque. I thought this would be the hardest because the torque. But, it wasn't bad at all
.
Her are a couple of views of the old coming out. The motors are both salvaged, this one ran like crap. I don't know if it had burnt valves or what. It was either slow or in the gas. There was no in between on the throttle.
Here they sit side by side.
This is were I had forgot to install the rockers before I put the cover on. I guess I didn't have to worry about valve hitting the pistons.
The motor on the hoist ready fo tranny mount wich to another day. I thought i had it lined up right but, it wasn't. I had to pry them back apart. the second time it slip in nicely.
The first sign of a rainbow.
It is now all bolted in and ready for the finish. I still have alot to do. I need to install intercooler, oil cooler for turbo, fuel system, and all the charge pipe. It was late and no pics were takin.
This was my helper in the way all the time. I think he will make a good tuner later.
See now he played innocent. He never get in trouble. You can see why too. He takes after me.
It is done and runs. I just can't get it that fast yet. I don't want to accidently break the break in.
