I know it kind of kiddy like. Buddy came over to use the weight machine. I just sat in the chevelle while he worked out and shot the bull.

Van engine is a disaster. Cracked head. Hydraulic ed a cylinder. Cracked the piston ring. Sent ring shrapnel through the engine. Oil pump picked it up. Got a piece on a rod journal. Anti-freeze in the engine. It is a Greek Tragedy.

She sounded perfect last time I fired her up before I tore her down. I miss my van already.

I looking at a mercruiser crate engine for it. I should hear back tomorrow.

Now the air conditioning plenum is out and two thirds of the firewall has been ground down and sanded as well both inner fenders are out and the wiper motor is out. Next it's on to the drivers side remove the brake booster and get that side of the firewall ready for paint.

Been trying to work up the ambition to do an engine swap on my Sprint. New motor is ready to drop in and hanging on the stand.
