Default Before and after
Just got my engine back together after 4 months and a few $$$$$$. I didnt pull the fuse for the pump to charge the fuel line and check for leaks like I should have , but it turned out i didnt need to. after a minute of cranking it started right up and ran soooo smooth. no leaks. I still have a few things to do like reroute a couple of vacuum lines and plug the tranny vacuum line back on that pulled off over the bell housing.... It was so nice to hear it run even if the exhaust was off from the cats back. heres some pics of before and after.

I'm pretty happy with the way it looks. I'm sure I will have some thing pop up that I need to go over , but have a good start on sorting this beauty out.

Very nice, you should be proud of that! Baptism by fuel and coolant, but no fire.
What are the plug wires, Magnecor?

That looks fantastic. You'd be popping the hood ever time you pumped gas so the world could admire your work!

Great colours too.

Absolutely beautiful. With an engine bay like that, a polycarbonate hood would make perfect sense...

Take a bow. You can be proud of that work.
