I figured I might as well start a thread for it now, since I made some pretty good progress this weekend and am 1/2 way done.
Here it is as it arrived:
Here it is roughed up. It'll get a very fine sanding, then polished to shine like chrome. This will be the only dress up for the motor, as it's very time consuming but will look badass when done.
Engine bay disassembled ready for pulling:
Not much room, but just enough for me to work with:
Engine is out:
Empty engine bay shot:
Screw you 4.7L:
Why hello 5.7L Hemi:
4.7L going on the pallet:
Everything tucks away for me to easily park 2 cars when I'm done:
It'll probably be 2 weeks before I can start on more of it, as I have to wait for the wiring to arrive, order the motor mounts then measure and fabricate them, and order the APS or Edge torque converter that'll go in. As of now I'm figuring about a month before I'll be done. I'm pretty much right on schedule of where I wanted to be.
