The Engine is Done!

Well, I got a chance to spend some time finishing things up on the engine re-do.  The intake, carberator, distributor, belt, air cleaner, engine tins, etc. have all been reinstalled.  I adjusted the valves and it is ready for new oil and the re-installation.  For fun, I have both the before and after pics of the engine.  Looks much better and it should be much more reliable and even have a bit of a performance increase with the higher compression ratio.


 

Next job is to clean and  paint the engine compartment, re-install the engine and take it for a test drive.  I am hoping to do this before the snow starts coming down and the salt trucks come out.
