40 years of sludge--it's all over everything--I spent most of my time cleaning...

First round of parts cleaned and ready for paint. Not only did my wife let me use the kitchen sink, she even offered to clean it when I was done making a mess of it! Of course, I cleaned up my own mess, but awesome nonetheless

Sure is pretty...put the spark plug wire retainers on before you put the engine in, its really tight against the cowl.

Nice jesture on the wifeys part

gringoloco · 02-03-2013, 11:36 AM

Thanks guys, and thanks for the info. Will definitely leave those rear retainers back there, as well as a few other choice items. I will likely do a mock-up on the stand just to make sure I know how everything goes back together

Swapped valve covers and did a little painting. That's all for today, there's some football game coming on that my wife wants to watch?

Man you do fast work! Things are looking real good gringo.

gringoloco · 02-04-2013, 01:39 PM

Thanks everyone! Dropping the manifolds off for ceramic coating today and will continue detail work on the rest of the parts. Thinking of dropping the tranny/transfer case and re-sealing them while everything is apart--while I'm in there........

Thanks! It's not quite ruined yet--not sure I'll get to see it through--probably gonna have to let her go before we venture abroad

Most parts are gathered and the engine is ready to stab. Last piece of the puzzle, ceramic coated manifolds, were picked up today. I despise rusty manis, but didn't want headers on this one. Should see some actual progress this weekend...

Hey Chris, don't you need to swing by Oklahoma before you go? I can take good care of the blazer while you're gone.

You are coming back??? eventually
