what "might as wells" should i do to it before installation. i know that it ran before a tree fell on the car body and the thing sat for 25 years before rescue as a parts car. i will clean up what i can, de-rust, paint, etc., but...seals? things to tighten, loosen, adjust, replace?

Jim - if I understand correctly, the engine in the car runs (how well is another matter?). What I would do is use the tin and fuel injection system and any other "missing" parts needed to complete your current engine. Test the FI components to be sure they are working properly and replace any of the vacuum lines that are questionable. I have never dealt with L-jet but am sure there is plenty of info online.
Once you have the car running properly, you can worry about the 2nd engine - reseal, rebuild, store, or trash. Let me know when you get the engine and car "home" and we can arrange a time to swap bits and pieces and get that car running (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) steve (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
