I seriously want someone to come over here with a big soda blasting unit right about now. Sanding/cleaning/metal prepping is really getting old.
I took a respite from all that for now. The engine has 150psi of compression on all cylinders but did have a healthy layer of crud on it and did smoke/tick a little. So, I figured that it would be best to replace it. I'm going with a stock type 302 build. Nothing crazy or stupid. While it is apart, the trans will be rebuilt and the t-case gone through as well.
The more I get into, the larger the parts list is getting. It is pretty intimidating at this point!!! Chuck, you figure out a way to print money down there yet? I figure that it would take a little doing, but we could go in on a joint venture. it would help me out a lot
Ok, a few pics. Nothing exciting. The old motor and trans out. My back is still killing me from the work day last weekend. Makes for fun times slinging that stuff out/around.
