Made it home last Monday.
Tuesday I made a hole in the shop for it.
Plan was to go over it to ensure it would pass the out of Province inspection.
Ya, right.....
It's hot out. Cool in the shop & fridge is (was) full.....
So I'm looking around the shop at all the 302w engine & T-5 parts.
Started pulling the engine apart.
Pulleys were bent. Turns out I have a short water pump, aluminum pulleys & aluminum alt brackets.
Between the blue parts car & other spare parts I can change out the auto to the T-5.
I have an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake & 600 cfm Edelbrock carb.
Going to pull the heads for a look see. #5 cly spark plug was completely gummed up. Likely get a quick valve job done.
Since I'm that far into it, may as well up-grade the cam.
I also have a spare MSD dizzy etc.
I also have front engine mounts & a set of Headman headers. May as well put them on. Guy that had it before has (had) cast manifolds & single exhaust.
Need to re-mount the engine anyway. Front is off set to the right 2 & 5/8" to the right. Exhaust manifold is touching the battery tray.
The M ll frame mounts are held on by one bolt each
Not fussy on a hatch ...... so was looking at my blue parts car .... anyone know if the back can be cut out & replace the hatch version ? I will be finding out.....
