Thanks for helping out Dan, Scott and Derek! It definately made the whole process a lot easier with some extra helping hands. It's been a lot of fun so far.

Plans are to freshen up the motor and install a Textralia clutch. Might do some other things while everything is out since it'll be a lot easier now. Then again, if I still think it's fun after we put it all back in I might want to do it again next winter.

The wife had one of those "oh crap" looks on her face when she first saw it.

Taking it apart is the easy part. It's putting it back together that will be tough. Lot's of super glue and duct tape

I am trying to push my ideas into the project, I mean might as well do what you want now while it's all out, rather than do it all over again.

The car was already dead. This is a bring back to life project. There is only one logical way to get the motor out of the car, I'm just glad we have a lift or it would never be attempted.

The motor needs to be rebuilt bad. The block will be re-used to save $.
