I wanted to complete this project before my father passed away to show him how funny it would be to hook up Citation...I didn't get that chance, but i know he's watching down on me now...the weekend after he passed on, i pulled out the motor and tranny with DavinchiA, and i disassembled the 2.8 liter beast myself...Here it is after it was bored out and hot tank dipped...
After that, things went slow for a while, since it's hard to find parts for an 81' Citation ...but the parts did eventually start to fall into my hands...and into the kitchen/dining room area...(garage was packed)...my mom is probably turning over in her grave right now...Sorry mom!
