Default Motor is OUT

Cell Phone Pics, let me know if they are upside down or sideways. I usually don't see it on my computer for some reason...







Went smoothly, although a few small problems.

My Oil Sending line broke when I was removing it from the block. It broke off right where the fitting goes into the block. I'm hoping I can attach a new compression fitting to it...

Transmission is at the trans shop One of the ears on the tailshaft was busted off, which means a new tailshaft/housing/case. $225.00, plus any other work that needs to be done to it.

Bellhousing has a small crack, I'm going to take it to a welder this week...It's small, shouldn't be a big deal. Worst case, new bellhousing (should be fixable)

Motor should be ready this month...

Here a little Motivation for you....375 HP 350 dropping into place with a rebuilt trans/shift kit.



A few weeks later it was alive.

I have a spare aluminum bellhousing, going to a scatter shield with the new engine.
