Default Updated Engine Install Pics

Gentlemen, Thought I'd post some updates to my engine install. It's a ZZ4 with some cosmetic upgrades and I hope to have it running by April. I've never done anything like this and really enjoy putting it together. All I have left is the cooling system, alternator and some miscellaneous wiring. I'm also rebuilding the front suspension. Today I bought a 12-ton hydraulic press and started putting my control arms together. Everything should be complete by April. Enjoy.

I need to remove the engine lift on the intake. I'll do that tomorrow when I go bolt hunting at the store.




Oh yeah. Anyone going to Autorama next week here in Detroit? It's a great time with lots of custom muscle cars. Check out the link.
