The OTHER White Meat.
Pics to follow. Mustangman05 and I are pulling my engine again to "freshen it up." Hardware includes FFIM, 3" IC pipes, t70, zw manifold/downpipe, AEM EMS, driftmotion crossover pipe, new oil pan, main seals, and bearings throughout.

We also plan to paint my engine bay and do a few other cosmetic upgrades to the car. Stay tuned everyone, this here's gonna be a ride from hell!

And to think it all started with a blown up spark plug. . .

Well motor is out and almost down to a bare block again. Tommarow i plan to clean up the block and run a hone through it. The engine bay will also be getting a good cleaning tommarow followed by some fresh paint getting sprayed on the block

Update: Took it all apart and all bearings are WIPED. No more lead facing, all you can see is the chrome on my Clevites. Fortunately, the block and pistons are in perfect shape. Crank needs to be re-polished on the mains and have the nose repaired and resized. After I buy all the internals, it's going back into an engine bay that's ready for it.

I will declare Jon, no longer a noob. ;)

Hope all is going well with you and the [re]rebuild. :)

Car looks great...Or maybe it's just the Gay Blue hottness that gets to me. :rolleyes: LOL

Yay, I'm no longer a noob. This opens up so many more cool doors for me, haha. Anywho, the engine bay will (soon enough) also get the IBP treatment so it can shine while showing off my new EFI harness. Pics to follow of the EFI harness. meantime, BJ, did you take pics of the gutted interiorness?
