After a long look at the suspension we decided to take it out to get a better look at it. With about 120K miles on the car and all of the rubber seals rotted out, it should be easier to rebuild on the bench and out of the car.
This is one heavy project.
Dannette stopped by to lend a hand and see how everything was going.
Now that everything is out of the way I should be able to get this engine bay cleaned out and painted.
Here is a shot of the free floating pistons without rings. Here is a shot with the rings and spacers in place. Top shot. This is the 351 W block with the crank in place.
Shay is ready to go for a ride! We have pulled the front end apart to start preparing the engine compartment for paint. This is the new 351 W block that we will be using to build a 408 strocker motor. This is the stroker crank. It is made be "Eagle"
This week we took everything out of the Mustang. Most everything looked good. We found some rust in the front floor pans that need some attention, but nothing we can't handle. Fun, Fun, Fun!
