I am surprised it was sparying oil off those rockes. I've never run one like that becaue it always made a mess without valve covers.

Nice Job TJ.

Nice Job TJ.

Yeah, these older engines tend not to have that issue. Once it is warmed up though it will oil the top end better. I have a quart of Lucas in it now. Should be driving in the morning!

AJCK87 · 08-24-2016, 01:54 AM

Awesome job, motor is looking great!

Ta2Don · 08-24-2016, 09:03 AM

No pictures or video yet, but I took Crustine for a ride today. Having adjustment problems(or it's me) with my clutch as it doesn't want to shift very well into gear, but it's fine going through the gears. Will try more throw tomorrow and see if that helps. Also need to figure out my fan as it seems to be blowing more air upwards rather than forwards, but the engine hasn't gotten to Norm yet so I think we'll be ok as it seems that came with a fan like that. Have to fix an exhaust leak at the manifold to pipe flange and we should be good to go!

**TJ's Chevy** · 08-26-2016, 11:11 AM

Hi guys! Finally got around for some more pictures! Here is the engine all done and buttoned up. Still messing with the clutch and have a couple bugs to work out. But she drives like normal again.

62stepside longbox · 08-26-2016, 12:17 PM

Awesome job buddy! The green looks killer! Can't wait until I get mine in

. Now get back to work on ol two-tone!

Ta2Don · 08-26-2016, 03:05 PM

Awesome Brotha!!! So glad you went with the green!
