Not quite the video I was hoping to post by now.
But pending the arrival of a new transmission, I hope to actually drive this car this weekend. Here's a teaser: Nelson V. |

"Completed" is a relative term. This motor just adds to the latest incarnation of the car. I've posted pics before; I'll have to dig them up later. But the car pretty much still looks the same as it did before I yanked the motor. Quote:

The sound actually has a much deeper note in real life, still menacing, tho. I still haven't brought myself to open the electric cut-outs. Quote:

The car pretty much looks like this today. Visibly, the only difference is that I have since stolen the Grant woodgrain steering wheel out of my brother's El Camino. |

I forgot to mention I toasted my motor again 2 weeks ago. I think I spun a bearing.
(I had to dig this thread up to figure out how long ago was my last build.) At any rate, the motor has been out three days now and I haven't yet thought of any new upgrades "while it's out" for the rebuild. Hopefully, I'll get away with just a teardown and re-assemble without too much machining or hard parts. I'm holding tight onto my wallet this time! |

what he neglects to mention is that every time his engine lunches like this, my engine hoist takes a road trip!!
I sure hope it's a quick and cheap fix. Get out for a few hundred bucks. |

Thanks for keeping the hoist handy! I just got the report: Two spun rod bearings. So no new hard parts. Just machining and re-assembly (well, a new oil pump). With the bearing material floating all around the motor, we decided it best to dis-assemble the heads and clean 'em out, so add a valve job to the bill. I knew from jump it would be more than a few hundred bucks because it was a complete tear-down. But at $2250 it's still less than what I originally had feared (was expecting ~$3K). Dang it, and my brother just told me my new rifle is finally on the way to the gun shop! |

not bad, tho... compared to what it could be.
I hope this build holds up. ETA in time for the car show? |

I get the motor back either 9/14 or 9/21 (Virgil can only come up on Saturdays). Car show is 10/1. Should be good. I haven't much else to do except drop the motor back in. Though I did spend a few bucks at summitracing.com today to help with the install... new radiator overflow tank, Taylor wires, Lokar dipstick, and a -20AN weld-in bung for my radiator so I can finally install my spiffy CSR Performance billet AN-fitted water neck. |
