Damn Ken that is looking awesome on that back drop. What about some engine pics now that the swap is completed?

I worked like usual. Inventory coming up and it's a PITA. On the Blazer I shimmed the starter with a shim kit and a piece of wood. Basically the starter was still loose due to a tiny hairline crack on the passenger side of the block. My tranny guy told me to grind down a piece of 2x4 and wedge it between the oil pan and the starter. Worked great but still I need a new flexplate.

Just when you think you got off easy the Murphy's Law kicks in.
