ok. ....been awhile since the past post...but here is where I am at today.... The new motor is all ready to put in....I did pick up a steel cowl hood for it off of craigslist dirt cheap...and it turned out to be a brand new one...got very lucky there.... but heres my dilema....I am sure we all reach this point at some time when we are messing around with our rides... the .."While i got it out blues".... I honestly thought i would just pull the motor and put the new one in and worry about all the other changes later....but....while i got it out....well.....the list starts to grow....
like to upgrade to a 700r4 tranny....pull apart the front end and sand...treat and repaint everything.....replacing harness as needed....this one is quite butchered......strip...treat..and paint the frame....undercoat the back of the fenders....and on and on...where do yo stop at this point....I mean....truly..."while i got it out" will save money and time in the long run...especially time....so ..the more that i look at the engine bay with the old exhaust hanging there...and the surface rust here and there....it just seems inevitable that the " while i got it out" portion of my brain is gonna win me over.....does it make my wife happy?...time will tell....lol...but in the long run ..it will be a daily driver for the family + dog..so doing all these things at least i will be able to cross it off the list...just my thoughts over the last 2 weeks ...lol.....more pics to come of the pretty motor i have assembled for this
