Engine pull saturday May 23rd

[cruisermatt]

Anyone that wants to stop by is welcome, I have a pretty good handle on what I'm doing but any chance to surround myself with cruiserheads during a big project makes for a better time.

I'm in Winter Park, just outside Orlando, about 30 minutes from Luis's house for those that have been there.

Food/drink etc. will be provided somehow

what time are you panning to get dirty.

 

[cruisermatt]

Early start

 

[cruisermatt]

Getting closer! Just drove 40 miles and the old motor didn't skip a beat. It makes me a bit sad to pull it when it runs well and is s original to the truck but I know if I don't now it will be at least 7-8 months until I have time.

Picking my engine hoist up from the warehouse Thursday.

Luis said he'll be there. I'm going to try and get there - working out family plans now to make sure there aren't any conflicts.

 

[cruisermatt]

Dude that's awesome! Usually Luis is busy, haven't seen him since my steering column emergency back in June... One year ago.

 

[CruiseOrlando]

He's been very, very busy. We all have for different reasons But Luis is also getting back to a Friday/Sat off schedule (he's Tue/Wed now) which will be much better.

 

[cruisermatt]

Donuts or Bagels?

 

[ctuna74]

cruisermatt, I'm going to try and also be there, just need your address.

 

[CruiseOrlando]

Looks like the scheduling gods agree, and I'll be there. I think Luis and I should get there around 10, depending on how things go.

I'll bring some FLCA stickers with me...

 

[cruisermatt]

Sending address to everyone, and asking Luis to bring his load leveler.

 

[cruisermatt]

Hoist is ready.

 

[super40]

donuts /bagels? no wonder the turn out was mostly lightweights like me.. now if you would have posted beer n bar-B-Q you would be driving that truck right now... whats the current status?

 

[cruisermatt]

Barbaque for breakfast?

Status is very close, been working on swapping the parts over and painting 7 hours a day since Saturday besides Monday and Wednesday

All that's left to do is intake manifold, clean and re-grease throw-out bearing and pilot bearing, and clean up my two distributors and decide which is nicer.
