Hi all,

the new engine is in (since the weekend).
So all what's left is to hook up the electrical fuel pump (i'll use a relay) and the ignition system.
Then I should be able to turn the key. See if it turns over. and when it does, will it start.
I'm just about to catch a flu, so I'm quite unsure if I'll mnage tonight.

Here's a few pics, what do you think?

 

Hey, congratulations! It looks awesome. What's that lurking behind your car?

 

it's my Buddys 69 Chevelle (396BB) minus frontend. bumped into somethign, so he pulled the fenders. one left to another so he was working on it for a full year. we hope to have her going to paint mid april :-) she's waiting as well for a first start (gastank needs to go back in and thats about it)

 

Lucky, getting a new engine, I wish my engine bay was that nice.

I was going to say a GM product because it appears that it's missing the front clip but then I looked again and realized that its the rear of the car. Or am I completely wrong?

 

you're looking at the front of the car. you can see the trunk being open at the end of the picture and parts of the engine through my rear window.... but they're all different. The whole body is bolted to the chassis. you can lift the whole thing off the frame ;-)

 

very nice man, very nice

 

You need to get a new sticker for your air cleaner (302)

 

WOWOWOWOW... I am getting so excited! I can not wait to drop mine in, Hopefully it will be as cool as yours is. In the skeme of things;... There is nothing like the feeling of droping an engine in your fav. car in the world. lol

 

Looking good. I don't like the flex hoses though. You people all have much nicer looking engine comp's than I do, so I am getting ready to pull my motor so that I can clean it up and repaint it. Only been in a year but, blew a radiator which messed it up.

Nice thing about them is that it don't take long to hook it all up, huh?

 

i don't find them too bad (tyhose flwx hoses). The nice thing is that both of them are spring loaded so they won't collapse
