Check out my new engine.
 

I'm running very late so this will be short. I got my car back today and I brought home a straggler as well.

It's a 3.2, w/SSI, Centerforce clutch/Sachs pressure plate, brain, harness, fuel pump, filter, tach, recent plugs, wires, powder coated tin, etc, etc, etc,

I'll post more later.

Vroom, vroom!

Stand by for a PHX engine install coming soon to a garage with a wimpy jack.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :D :D

Kewl.

Very nice Don. I look forward to the install. If you don't get a better jack Joe may implode and I might get a hernia.

Nice pickup Don! That car is going to scoot.

It aint gonna be with a whimpy jack if I am there!

How can we xplant your old mill into my SC? :D

I think we should put the 2.4 into Lee's 550.

it must be for a cab?

LeeH pointed that out when we were talking earlier.

Its a very nice '72 coupe.

Don, show some pics of the car after surgery.

Hey, I am heading out on a overseas assigment on the 23rd of Oct, so if we are going to stuff this puppy it needs to be before that time if you need this old farts help...

Congratulations - looks like a great swap candidate! Good luck!

" Its a very nice '72 coupe."

You have the cab style shock absorber engine crossbar installed...

Was that only used on the cabs, Randy?

keep us posted, Kevin

Hey, after we get the engine installed we'll cut the roof off. Then everything will match.

Here is the waiting victim...

- I think so. If you want to add more wt. and get less engine rocking, tho - why not?

Looks nice. One question, what is the do-hicky in the picture?

Ok, this is purely on the fly, but to answer your question cyprus, I think its a torque dampener to absorb engine twist under heavy accel.

Yep, that is what it looks like to me too.
