Here’s a quick update picture:
Engine went back in today. Transmission and transfer case have been in for a month or so now.
They were both full rebuilds. The engine I tore down to just the block and rotating assembly. The Bores have a ridge but the heads look good. Slapped it back together with all new seals and gaskets, gonna let it eat for now. I didnt go thru all the work to paint the engine for a couple reasons. 1 it wouldn’t look right in the engine bay as I’m not planning to detail and paint the engine bay until I do the body work. 2. I’m only planning to run this engine while I gather up the parts to complete my Ls swap. It’s been cleaned and re sealed so hopefully it’ll stay clean. The tranny and transfer case I plan to run for a long long time hence the rebuild and paint. It’s got all new mounts, new 12” luk clutch, resurfaced flywheel etc.
