Default my engine arrived :-)

pictures say more than a 1000 words. Sorry about the ****ty quality though. will take decent pics tomorrow ... i'm just celebrating now and i figured I'll have to spend a lot of more money than I though (flywheel, clutch kit, radiator, heater core and a couple of hoses). So tonight I'll probably start welding the battery box corner.

Kalli that is one nice engine. I can't believe the deal you got on it. It'll be a new car with that engine in it.

booger: welcome to call anytime

I'll be at car tomorrow again. welding and cleaning up. probably the same on paddys day (tuesday). If I order the parts tonight I might even have them before the next WE and can start putting it all together. Need to figure a place for ignition box and electrical fuel pump. The fuel pump hole was blocked so I called and asked. no excenter on camshaft, so I'll just get one of those summit on sale pumps. maybe even with regulator
it's gonna be a nice little project. I'm so curious to see how the engine goes :-)
