my crate motor came today
Before anyone says a thing to me, I did not take my camera to work today! ok! been working hard, and ordered a 330 hp crate engine. I will be starting a thread ( if someone helps me ) about the R&R. Here is my plan:
CRATE ENGINE on the engine stand SERP BELT SETUP on the shelf 12" COOLING FANS soon CLASSIC AUTO AIR will pull the factory a/c and sell as a complete unit ( bad compressor and a leak somewhere, would not hold a vacuum ) I have the engine, serp belt setup I bought from a board member, will be calling Classic heartbeat for the fan shroud, SPAL fans, and controller, I have a powdercoater 2 miles from my shop, who KNOWS ME, this is my summer project. I have an air conditioned play room at home, and will do the basics at my shop and do the detail at the house. EXCITED Last edited by cparman; 05-19-2009 at 07:52 PM.

Re: my crate motor came today
Good reason for excitement!
 IMO, one of the best upgrades out there is adding a serp belt assembly, good choice. |

Re: my crate motor came today
Is that going in the truck I wanted to buy or the new blazer. BTW I don't remember if I told you or not, I went to interview with George Mayfield, but he did not have anything for me. I did sell my blazer and take a job in Tampa. I have been working for about three months now. Good luck with the build. By the time you are done I may have the money saved up.

Re: my crate motor came today
AJ I will go to my shop tomorrow, and take a picture of my crate motor in a bag on my engine stand. OK, and then take a picture of my stash shelf, which has my serpintine belt set up, and my flywheel, and my balancer. the valve covers ( I gave the chrome ones away today ) and the other stuff will be here next week, and will AGAIN send a pic or two!! ha ha
Will also take pic of a 57 tbird that I have done a ton of work to in the last month. engine/trans r&r, rewired, A/C installed etc. REMEMBER, THE LAST ONE YOU WORK ON IS YOUR OWN |
