...all those nights we shared, and you're a dude??
Special Agent Mukity-Muck Whats in Charge Round Here
Just came home from helping Jonathan. Tonight we were interrupted several times by visitors so we didnt accomplish as much as planned.
While Jonathan was welding, I tore into the engine. We were told the engine had been rebuilt. It has stock forged pistons, the bottom end has been rebuilt. The rods appear to have been reconditioned and Everything looks fresh. I pulled a main cap and the bearing still looks new. We are going to replace the oil pump and timing chain. Put the F cam back in and regasket it. If the plans do not change we will put on his ported gt40 heads.
Heres a few pics.

i know every time im about to buy a welder i spend it on other parts and think damnit i need a welder
Ha. I know the feeling. It sucked having to call Shawn (50droptop) all the time to borrow his welder.He always let me though. Im just glad i have my own now.
