Here's todays exterior block clean up-35#(lbs) taken off in bracketry. thats just plain rediculous.

A few shots of the head are also included - still working on cleaning that up.

Progt91 im pretty sure this is partly why the timing belt snapped

Pics, I noticed this when i finally got that retarded bracket off(not sure what pulley idled on it)

anyhow, bolts falling down into the timing belt area are frowned upon

Good eye. I overlooked that.

Looks good! Not much longer now for the mounts.

What spindles and axels do you have to use to make this fit in the car? I seen a few cars with these motors in them and man, they can move. I can't wait to see this one go.
