Re: 63 4 door build up. NOVACATION

ok i figure i update this a bit. here's why there were no updates in late 03. besides getting married(late 04) and working on my bro's wagon, i lost the engine in my truck. the blue(yes it's ford blue) goodwrench crate motor gave me 100K miles and was 5 terrific years till i over revved it on a freeway onramp trying to beat traffic. i bent 2 push rods on #5 and didn't find it right away. when i finally found why my truck was missing it changed them out(one was broken in 3 pieces). but i hurt the engine. it developed a knock and i needed to change it out. so here's the process. 45 min and i had the engine out by myself.







too bad i couldn't have the time stamps. i did degrease the whole engine bay again when i had the engine out. it was funny i had to pick up the engine with my mother's 4 runner. the guys at checker were tripping how i could get it in there without trouble. more pics coming.
