I got my engine back from Jake this week and it looks GREAT. If it runs as good as it looks, I'll be happy. The down side is that I have busted my a** for the last week getting the engine bay in shape before I install the engine. We had to replace an engine shelf and repair a few rust areas in the bay. While we were repairing the engine bay, why not fix the rusted areas on the longitudes. Oh yeh, let's go ahead and install that stiffining kit while we're at it. We really should just go ahead fix that rusted area around the door receiver area, ect....... I just did the grunt work while the pros did their work, welding. I'm so sore, I can hardly sit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I don't have any before pictures (sorry) but here are some pictures of the almost finished project. Really just need to do a little more grinding and cleaning, then paint. I hope that the stiffening kit was worth it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
