Saw my motor today. Just a few more things to finish up and it'll be ready to brig home. He said it should be tomorrow or wed afternoon. GG That's awesome. Nothing like bringing home a fresh motor. I think it beats bringin' home a kid!!! Definitely beats that !!!

Got my motor this morning from the machine shop. Been working on it most of the afternoon. It's pretty much dressed out except for the water pump and EGR block off stuff. I would post some pics but my photo bucket app is acting retarded right now. If someone wants to post them here for me send me an email address or I can text them.

Just FYI when I picked up my engine I was talking to Richard and he told me he is getting a flywheel resurfacing machine so he will be doing them here soon.

OK here is a little more parts porn for everyone. My engine will be totally desmogged. Two vacuum lines for the distributor and one for the brake booster, that's all the vacuum lines its gonna have. I ordered some of the block off plates from LC Engineering and I made a few myself. I have to say the LCE stuff was extremely trick, detailed little pieces. All aluminum, very thick, and well built. No sharp edges and a great finish, too bad they wont be able to be seen. I know most of us had rather look at pictures than read so here goes exhaust block off plate on back of head this is the underside of the intake manifold (remember what I said about not being able to see these) There's two more water block off plated that are on back side of the timing cover but they are buried under all the accessory bracket so I couldn't get a pic of them. Heres 3 that I made myself That's about it for now. I placed a $400 order with 22RE performance yesterday that should be here Tuesday. More to come Greg G
