Indeed.

 

LOL - my belly is getting rounder...

 

coated housings?
Arent you going to be running ceramic seals--or am i confusing your build with someone elses?
Why coated housings with ceramic seals?
What coating is that anyway?
Pineapples?

 

What?

Coated "Upper Intake Manifold" silly. Man has to have some bling in his old days!

 

I did track down a part number for each:

N3H2-13-B60A
N3H3-13-B60A

But I'm not sure you can get them.

 

I'm looking for a small powerful battery to relocate against the firewall. Any pointers here?

Update: Paul received his check today, so I'm arranging the truck for pickup of the engine for the journey home.

 

Did they run and break it in on an engine dyno?

 

I wish, but that was not on the list to do.

Rick did something extra that I'm not sure of yet. He told Paul, "Hey I also did...." and that is where Paul left me hanging.

 

Put it on the list before it's too late

and please, no more fan belt pics

 

It's crated, but I could consider this. Let me think about it.

Those are awesome underdrive belts by the way - LOL

 

The motor is being picked up Friday

 

What is wrong with this picture?

 

wrong way - GO BACK! lol

 

^ Yep, it came that way from Racing Beat... Tempted to send it back so that Jim can show the RB team member, that put it together, what he/she did.

 

do it. this is a teachable moment.

 

In looking at my reservoir, it has a level switch. Dan, you mentioned that I may be able to use the sensor plug for the coolant overflow tank as a source for power to light up an indicator maybe. Not sure how to make that work?? What should I measure?

 

I would just wire it to the sensor and see what happens....

You could check it with a meter if you want...it's likely a NO switch full...and Closed empty to turn the light on.....

Well, that answers my question.

 

That's cool - the connection uses standard electrical spade connectors. I'll wire it up tonight and see if it throws the dash light for low coolant.

 

And now the schedule planning starts...

 

Quick! Poke a hole in the shrink wrap!

 

Don't unwrap and post photos - might break the forum **** rules .

 

What exactly was the final cost on this lovely project?

 

It's not final yet...
