My 116$ engine rebuild

Hey Zak, let me know when you go out there.

What ever happened to this motor? I saw where the car was for sale with a fresh motor and was curious what happened with this one.

 

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif Amazing effort! I'm still trying to re-attach the rear-view mirror in mine...

Quoting turbowop:
You could have saved even more money by using RTV on the oil pan instead of a gasket. They're actually just RTV'd from the factory.



True. I would have skipped that and put in a new $18 Parts Dinosaur head gasket.

I want to see this Capri /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I take it's one of the late 70's/early 80's based on the mustang platform and not the mid 70's (german) imported ones? Haven't see the early 80's ones in a long time and can't recall last time I saw the 70's smaller ones (dad had 2 of them back to back and still remember when he bought the second one when I was about 4). As for the early 80's one, when I first moved up to warshington in the late 80's I was amazed to see one at the local cruise (the avenue) all the time with a tunnel ram and dual holley 4bbls and he didn't even have to worry about smog (what was most amazing to me seeing something later model on the street then).

apparently that same motor stayed in the car and an HX40 was slapped on with larger injectors and Ostrich.


here are a few pics of that car when i took of it the last few times i saw it. Zak named it Fred.
