    my engine swap

     



    almost ready to go in. just have to get another drill bit as the new one brke making the motor mount. always something. the engine has had all the exterior parts removed. they have either been cleaned and put back on or replaced. I am not going to put the intake, carb, and valve covers on until I get the hoist chain off so as not to scratch them up.

    Should be a real cool swap. A member of our H-Body club has a Cadillac 425" in a Monza. I can't wait to see it done...I love engine swaps.

    keep it going. That is awesome.

    Just remember to take your time and double check everything.... I'm often guilty of rushing when I get near the end.
    We WILL need a video when it's all done tho.
