Motor is out finally

Yeah the first hoist wasn’t long enough to reach without removing the front end. Thank god for good friends. Doing a full rebuild with all new rotating assembly. Bored .040 over, 11-1 compression flat top pistons, port matched aluminum heads and intake, comp cams timing set, cam, lifters, push rods, springs, and roller rockers. Full serpentine set up with aluminum water pump and swapping over to Muncie M21 4 speed. Once this part of the build is done it’s on to rebuilding the rear with 3.42 gears to replace the 3.08 posi I have now. Should be fun when she’s done.

i miss driving her so much already. Only been a few weeks and it pains me to see it all torn apart. The thought of the end product though gives me some relief. This project will have spells like this though where I’ll have to go a few months without just to make sure it’s done right. Figure I have another 40 or so years left in me to enjoy her. Then one of my kids will take over the labor of love
