Sorry to hear Lawrence....

It looks like the situation is well in hand and you have a great new project.

Can you share any history on the motor that crapped out? Was it a main bearing or something else? How many miles and did you know what brand main bearing?

Good look on the new project, will follow with interest.

Thanks!

My engine is now properly on an engine stand. I took the 911 headers off and intend to drop the bottom plate. A little proctology with my new boroscope.

It should be a bit interesting to inspect the inside as there is not one thing I've seen in this engine that isn't shiny and brand new.

I did well on this purchase.

I spent a good deal of the morning at Apple, new hard drive to be installed in my laptop. 3-5 days until I get it back.


So, I soldier on....It's amazing how much I depend on my computer.

I took out the back pad and got the car on the really nice Esco jack stands that there was a thread on here. I'm working on getting the engine compartment in order, engine mount going in, drilling out the oil tank ports, usual stuff.

Still no photos..., sorry.

So frustrated with Apple. Their new "photos" app yields no photos. I have tried everything. I can't get it to work.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Are you sure it's the computer? It took me about 15 tries before I figured out how to post pics off the Mac Book pro. It's intimidating if you just came off a PC. iPhone 6 or 7? One other thing. We tried everything to update my wife's 9 yo Mac. She spent hours on the phone with them and time at the Genius bar also before I broke down and bought her the latest model. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The new OS works differently. I've always loved how the Apple system works. I've never owned a PC, always Apple.

It's not an old machine either, just a new hard drive and OS.

I think I fingered it out. This is the PM motor mount bolted in, I'll grind off the paint to prep for welding it in. Then the weld through primer.

Congrats.

You need to take care of that rust above the engine shelf, Goob.

I have to live vicariously through your efforts Lawrence.
With 4 kids, all my spending cash is going to private school!
No 6 for me anytime soon!

Kind of hard to see, but here's a rough draft. This is the first fit, things lined up well. I love the crawling in and out from under the car a thousand times! You think you have everything you will need, but there is always that one thing you forgot that is over on the workbench.....

Hanging out in my engine compartment is interesting. I may sleep there tonight. And, like I said before, black paint is your friend.

Yeah, but just pointing out that you might wish to do it before installing the motor ... otherwise, when you get it in and running, you might wonder ... in all the excitement, did you remember if you shot five, or six?
