I’m slowly approaching dropping the engine in. Feels like I’ve been saying that for a couple of months now…and I have. Things keep coming up. Bad weather, still have some things to do, things around the house to do. Life. Work has been excruciatingly busy lately. Although that’s a good thing for the business it’s been hell on my energy level. Still, progress has been made. I ordered a couple of parts from Breeze including a clutch quadrant, rear main seal and gas filter bracket. Actually, Ang ordered it all. She said Mark was very easy to deal with and I was happy to see the parts arrived quickly. Ang also took the flywheel for refinishing. She went to a local shop, Rt. 144 Automotive, and they treated her very nicely. Final price was even less than what they quoted her! Also, Greg from the club dropped by last Saturday to drop off his engine hoist. Having this for a couple of weeks without having to return it immediately will help a lot.
Seriously now, I’m going to drop the engine in soon. Hopefully the 12th. I have a couple of things to take care of like the trans tunnel horseshoe aluminum and installing the clutch quadrant. I think at that point there’s nothing holding me back.
