After a LONG head gasket replacement and all the other "while I'm in there" stuff this is where I'm at.



Just waiting on the polished plenum and runners and it should be time to fire her up soon. I have to say this was a major PITA! I will drop the coin for an engine hoist and stand before I ever attempt this again. All and all I did learn a ton about the car and thats the whole point. Thanks again for all the help and cross your fingers when the key is turned.

 

EXCELLENT
Did you change the little heater hose & valve WYWAIT, between the back of the motor & the firewall. Looks very easy to do at this time.

OOOH!!! I see intake studs!!! nice!

That polished oil sep looks sweet!

 

Looks like it would be a good idea to do what Marton said both pieces , The rest of the job looks great also replace the fuel lines at this time if you have not done it

 

Nice work. Being in VA you will hopefully have a few months to enjoy the results.
