Engine Rebuild Complete!
After 3 months of working nights and weekends and waiting on parts I would forget to order until I needed them the engine rebuild is complete! I wish I could say I was going to have it back in and on the road next weekend, but I am going to replace all the suspension bushings first. I did a complete SSI and heat backdate which required a bit of modification to the engine tin, but really not that difficult. Wish I could start it up and listen to the sound, but for now I can just sit and admire it. Here's couple of pics:

Yeah Kurt, come on. The only thing we see is the little red x in the box.

Kurt,
Nice work!!! Beautiful engine. I know what you mean, I have to wait until spring to drive my car as it's in the single digits here in Michigan. Just think of all the fun you'll have this summer!

Kurt V,
Absolutely fantastic. Makes me feel like me feel like a clown for wrestling with a type IV rebuild - hahahaa. Seriously though... EDIT: I guess that makes me twice the clown now...
