Ive been pulling parts off, cleaning,and draining...block seems to be great shape. Going to hone the block, and check out the bearings/rings.. shouldnt be too bad.. but might be!!
sorry for the bad quality pics..











Cleaned up the tranny/oil pan..did a minimal job on the tranny.. it has some more shine left in it.. oil pan dont really matter much.. but i couldnt help but to hit it with something.




Power washed the bay again, removed the fire retard stuff.. but its too cold to scrub. So ill save it for when it gets warmer. But i tucked the headlight wiring. The Driver side pocket is where the main fuse box will be, and the harness will run thru the hole. its hard to setup without the motor in.. but it will be hidden completly.
Only things left to work out is the vaccum hoses on the firewall, for the VICS solenoid, ill probrably mount it lower behind the intake manifold...and get a longer vaccum hose. And im trying to find a smaller charcoal canister or just relocate it elsewhere. .. than i can start trying to get this bay painted...
