Builds 1993 refreshed (now gone) and 1995 build up with new OEM engine (1 Viewer)

Test fitting, I like to do that before I lay down FIPG and torque.

Pans are on, timing cover is on, new oil pump gear and rotor set, new timing chain and guides, new oil pickup/strainer, all oil pressure relief valves are new, new Aisin water pump, oil pressure sending unit new, new thermostat and new harmonic balancer.

Assembly is going to slow as I get to the head. Few little things I can do here and there but I have decided I want to go with a new OEM head, cams, valves and all that. I did get some ARP head studs already in prep.

This showed up today.

Sure is pretty but still need cams and valves and with the current situation we are all dealing with I am not buying those anytime soon.

Sold my 93 this morning. I will miss it, it was a killer Cruiser.

So next week I will start buying what I need to finish up the 95’s engine and put the Cruiser back on the road. I will do all the basics like knuckles and brakes. I will also do a lift, tires and sliders.

Had it out of the shop today for the first time since October.

Behind the sexy 45-series.

Just waiting on a box with cams and some other parts in it. I hope to begin on assembly of the new head this weekend.

Got remanned calipers in hand but haven’t ordered the 105 sector shaft and pitman arm yet.

Cheers

 

[SNLC]

Looks like I may not see the cams until Monday, unless I get lucky with shipping.

I did order the 105 sector shaft and pitman arm for the Redhead rebuild. I also ordered a p/s pump, reservoir and high/low pressure lines.

NEw OEM brake booster and 105-series spindles purchased this evening. New lower u-joint on steering column and new wheel studs for the front hubs.

What can I say, I like new OEM parts! This Cruiser is also (to-be) my companies “flag ship” so it’s easier for me to justify this way.

Parts inventory....

And I still need more...

105 upgrades for my steering box.

Had this for awhile. Bought two when I did the seat in the 93.

Stereo stash, JL amp and super nice sub with the head unit.

Goodies, ARP head studs in the box.

Suspension bushings and bolts/nuts/washers for days.
