Maybe my build will get you motivate, and yeah I it should be interesting building this motor completely
Nope it hasn't lol
http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/...ps394760a7.jpg okay so I messed up and I can't remember where these three bolts go and the one nut I placed it with my timing chain and cover bolts any ideas lol and I have heads on weith push rods in going to work on it with my buddy's tonight told him I would get them beer to help lol
those 3 bolts look like the torque converter bolts. the nut no clue.
Oh yeah that is right, I need to get a few sockets to fit my torque wrench, I need to get the tranny fixed and the lim port tomorrow and I can start to pull the motor in the car:)
Anyone is welcome to come help me tomorrow:)))
Spray the headgaskets with copper spray?
No I did not, what is everything I should get?
It's not 100% necessary but most do when they're replacing them.
Would you recommend to do so?
Well you haven't put it all together so I say yes... Easier to do it now rather then wait until you either have it completely assembled and/or in the car.
Alright sounds good, so regal well be here tomorrow as well why would the car not turn over? Battery maybe or starter?
Keep it simple battery, starter, alternator...
Ok good to known I should have all of yhat here lol
Yea you should have some test parts to try out everything should be the same the only thing that could be different is the alternator.
