Project: Now I run, So Bag me!

Thank ya. Few more parts and it may actually get to start!

played out? whatever that is sharp looking

It's lookin real sweet. You gonna clean and repaint the engine bay while you got it out?

Damn dude that is one clean arse motor. I am diggin it.

I probably should. Might start on it tomorrow. I've washed all the grease off the crossmember and everything. We'll say how much I feel like doing tomorrow.

Cleaned up the engine bay and went ahead and shot it down


Set it in


Had some issues with the clutch plate being centered so had to take it back out, center it then put it back in.




Went ahead and started reassembly. I know the exhaust looks horrid but hopefully it won't stay long




Got the battery in and almost everything hooked up. ALL new hoses. New battery cables, new post ends.



My old coolant overflow bottle was like a sports water bottle with a hole in the top. So I made one that I think fit the truck better


Should have more next weekend after Sparks In The Ozarks 3. My alt, couple small gaskets are on their way.

that coolant bottle is sweet truck looks good

diggin the coolant bottle!

Looks good you wanna a little tip to get a valve cover without the flat spot? Go to the junkyard and look under the hoods of some older 626's and I think it might be in the 323's as well but one of those body styles had the same motor and the valve cover didn't have the flat spot in the middle for the carbed air cleaner =D. but it definitely is coming together keep up the good work

i like it! motor looks great painted! and love the cr overflow!
