This took over a month to get.

Last piece I needed to finish off the upper intake manifold.

Another late night in the shop working on my own junk after hours.

Started in on upper manifold and did some little things to the engine. I am finding I am missing some things here and there. A few crush washers, a hose here and there, some bolts, a few clamps and so on and so forth. This is what we call the nickel and dime part of a build. Ordering up what I need, cleaning as I go...blah blah blah. Yup, I am super OCD, especially on my own Cruiser.

And oh man, it’s going to be hot in the shop the next few days.

Oh ya

I have a bit of a plan for this area that we know is common to getting crispy.

Another long day in the shop working on my junk, didn’t take many pics though.

Good shape for 25yrs old but still hard as a rock and one has some small cracks.

Cheers

 

[SNLC]

Today’s fun.

See if I can get into the fuel tank today too.

Cleaned

Refreshed

Not doing the hubs right now, they seem fine and I want this Cruiser on the road.

Cheers

Nice and rust free Cruisers are always the best to work on.

Going in

Cleaned before pulling.

Old, I got the new ready to install but it seems I am missing the fuel pump cushion so it’s ordered.

Tank is nice and rust free but the fuel is old. I will drain and put in fresh gas before firing it up.

So I am going to paint my EGR pipe with 2000* paint and wrap it with some high dollar heat wrap. I needed to order a bunch of wiring stuff for @jmlockwood build, which I did this morning so got what I been wanting to buy for the new harness around the EGR. Some pretty high dollar heat wrap-sheathing.

My to-do is shrinking and I am going to postpone a few things as well. Got some wheeling trips planned before winter, it’s not like I haven’t wheeled a stock Cruiser before!

Got a new alt and starter in route. Need to order a new A/C compressor. Not sure I will be ready to stuff the new engine in this weekend, if not the following weekend for sure.

Cheers

Had to go get some of this after work.

Then back in the shop to work on my own junk. New fuel pump, hose/clamps, pickup screen, cushion and sending unit.

Reinstalled with new crush washers and a new gasket.

To compliment the new throttle cable, I installed this.

Cheers

Did you have to supply redhead with the 105 shaft? Or did they acquire it themselves?
