For Pete's sake, Lend a hand

What horse power is that new engine. Does putting him backwards increase mpg???

Glad I could help.

When's the next session?

 

[OverlandDad]

Feeling really good about what was accomplished today.

Motor is ready to be bolted to the transmission and then installed (missing a tranny seal or it would have been done today).

Cladding holes are ready for bondo.

All rust (that we found) is officially removed.

Rear heater bypass cleaned up.

Tranny lines are all redone.

I would not be to this point without all the help from club members over the last few weeks!

Thanks to @OverlandDad, @cjmoon, and @2fpower for all the help today!

@2fpower Post a pic of the finished product where we (you) cut out the rust on the front wheel wells please.

Happy to help. Pretty sure we fixed the Land Yacht's stuttering too.

Sweet!

We forgot to get the evaporator though. Next time I am down there, I will see if one is loose.

Thanks for the beer. Helped me put in Foo's chairs last night.

We had enough on the plate with Pete. After most of the summer with no AC, what's a couple more weeks?

I like to have defrost working. Heck, I am adding a/c to foo for just that purpose.

Anyone in the market for a slightly rolled LC?

Actually yes, there's a lot of stuff on that truck that Ben, Dustin, and myself could use.
Going to have to make an account on copart.

If you end up with it maybe we can work something out on the flares?

Another successful day thanks to the help of @Robkc.

Motor is in.

Added some bling to it.

That hoist has pulled and put in a lot of engines. And I initially thought It would never be used. I think it has one gimp wheel is it still rolling?

 

[ccasteel]

Any work going on tomorrow afternoon and evening?

Not sure what the plan is for tomorrow yet. I'll post up as soon as get it figured out.

Not going to make it over there today. Been sick all day. Going to try and mow the lawn and then call it a day.

I will be there Sunday working on stuff. Plenty to do if anyone is free.

Unfortunately I can't help I have marching orders to go through the brake system on Zippy so plan on installing my new brake lines and deleting the abs system since I already drive around without it anyway… Have to do this before I am allowed to do anything else to the truck

 

[2fpower]

@shoresoccer13 Don't forget we stole some of your copper crush washers, and pick some up at the auto parts store.

Getting close. Engine bay is 95% done. Finish that up this week and work on the drivetrain this week.
