So Trev are you going to put that one in your shed just incase you want to go back to stock some day?

[05eleanor]

ya, I'm gonna hang onto everything that comes off this car for sure.

motor is removed

[05eleanor]

The front end is so long on these cars, I had to remove the front bumper and the grill to reach it with the picker.

Empty engine bay waiting for a clean up and some fresh paint

Here's an interesting photo. At one time Dad had the tranny redone from pulling a travel trailer with no cooler. The shop didn't want to mix up the convertor, so they wrote on it haha

Awesome progress!! I still want you to put the aircleaner and valve covers onto the new motor. Hopefully the rockers won't hit.

[05eleanor]

time for some update pics. This is the painted compartment. Not the best pic for sure, but it's semi gloss black

[05eleanor]

Here is the bell housing and trans dipstick and linkage. Tanny is cleaned and after I install the shift kit I'll take some pics of that.

[05eleanor]

Here's a couple of the motor if you can see them lol. Dean, it's so hard to post pics on here when it cuts most of it off

I plan on putting the motor in very soon. I will post more pics when it's in place
