Pen & Ink's Heart Transplant

[Dynamic]

so thought i would share some pics of how the progress has gone and where its up to



Transmission was going to stay in place but i figured it would be a nice chance to clean it off, i only wish i took before shots, it was more of a black/charcoal grey before I cleaned it off



next step now cams back from holidays is get the box attached to the engine and drop it all in. Running by the end of this week is what Im hoping since mine arrives home late this week

[Dynamic]

Here are some before and after shots of the engine bay which cam cleaned up quite nicely!

[nassi]

Nice work boy's, both motor and bay look good.
cheers

[Dynamic]

thanks nassi had to fix the location of the pics now working again!

[mikes68]

That black block looks great. That's what I am going to do with mine also...

[Dynamic]

yep mike i was reluctant to see it get sprayed black but its come up great, and solves my problems of searching for oil leaks as i will no longer be able to see them might take a few more side/lower shots of it

I did mine black too. It really makes the alloy bits stand out.

[jbrucem1]

maybe swap that fan for a flexolite or similar also?
looks the part, loe seeing befores and afters of peoples projects

[hybrid]

Not a fan of flex fans personally (excuse the pun).
One my family had actually flattened out at higher rpm and hindered natural flow through the radiator.

later on down the track will try convince cam to go for an electric option, im a big fan of them and really cleans up the engine bay albeit some extra wiring

[scott66stang]

Nice one boys

[Dynamic]

got busy today and finally got the engine in, cam has all the exciting action photos of the day but here are some pics of where i left it for now.

[nassi]

Looks like it could have got a bit warm out there today? I hope Cam kept the cold drinks up.
cheers

I like the matching fender covers...Cool!!

[Dynamic]

could have gone for some of your famous home brews nassi but otherwise i keep a pretty strict no drinking while working ethic.

cheers nuts not intended as i used to use them in the workshop on other cars
