You should just send the engine to Nolan with the stickers left on it. He loves removing them.

who would have thought that dark green with black rims would look so damn good?

Me, that’s why I did em……

Me, that’s why I did em……

What size tire tho

 

[Catching Neutral]

@wngrog ….. you do have an eye for color, stripes, proportions, bumpers, roof racks, etc.
Didn’t know it was your decision.
Nice job yet again

That is an amazing engine build. I would love to have mine built up like that.

[jomelo]

Oh yea

 

[middlecalf]

Wonder what it'd take for that to make a wrong turn and end up in Idaho?

I left these two alone tonight to get to know each other before they copulate

Few more pics…

I soaked the head bolts in Evaporust, which has them looking new:

The heads of the external headbolts get rust protection/paint and, since this is a racing motor, all of the fasteners get assembly grease on the threads and under the heads:

New dipstick tube. This has to be the worst Toyota sticker to get off

New main oil galley plug. Since this is a later block (85-ish +), this is a factory feature. The earlier blocks had a pressed in plug. We tap those for an NPT plug now after having a blowout on Nolen’s motor.

New OEM lifters and pushrods:

Then glued on the side cover:

[wngrog]

Whitey, you can’t keep a damn secret.
