    i am slowly but surely finally making some progress on my car.. while far from being running have gotten some work done to the engine. im hoping the pics are going to work on this.. i now have to figure out how to get it from my basment up the hill to the garage to put it back in.. it all seemed easy taking it down to the basment.. hrmmm

    Looks great! Good to see a 6 cylinder getting built instead of another ho-hum V8. :)

    Looks great. You might want to get one of those exhaust paints from Eastwood so your exhaust manifold looks as good as the rest of the motor.

    The solution to your transporting dilemma is easy. Make a bigger access down to your basement, push the car down there, install the motor, drive the car out!!! And you thought it was gonna be hard. :D

    i want to do headers but not in the budget at the moment.
    thats why not too terribly worried bout the exhaust manifold at the moment
    i appreciate the compliments. was a lil worried bout the color combo tho...
    as far as it being a six, i figured i came with a six and thats what itll stay cause its easier to work with parts i have.

    as for left over bolts... got a couple cause i took the A/C off and am leaving it off.. now to remember how the vacuum lines went.....

    thanx for the support guys. i know i dont post a lot here , its cause i spend too much time reading. but i DO support this website and all its people.

    If you are leaveing A/C off for good, I have a spare set of non A/C 6 cylinder alternator brackets you can have to get rid of that big dohicky where the A/C compressor used to sit.
