I was only able to drive the Man_A_Fre high performance reman for about 3 days before the vacation started. BUT oh man, felt very nice. I was being fairly gentle with it but it is really fun to drive now with the H55. They aren’t exaggerating about how much it gets up and goes. I do recommend but again I only had it on the road a few days.

It's in the shop. Got caught up on a long queue but the engine is out. A better view of the damage now too. Hoping progress goes faster here on out.

Holy crackerjacks!
Holy smokes! That's cringe worthy just looking at it! I would had to change my clothes if I went through that explosion!
Whoa
!! Going back to post #26, this might be Land Cruiser Museum wall hanger type stuff.
I was thinking coffee table...Whoa
That'll buff right out.
That's damn near nuclear, impressive.

Ya I don’t really see a problem. Some jb weld and fresh oil and, well, boom isn’t the right word here but….

Update: Up and running with a used lower mileage 3FE! 160,000 as per mechanic. So far, it's running smoother than ever! Replaced the water pump, some bearings and pulleys, thermostat and replaced all the seals and gaskets since the engine was out. Happy to be back on the road!

I wish I had the time and skill to do it myself. Had to get some outside help with this one. It felt like 6 months!
