Re: What did you get done?

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.

Re: What did you get done?

Spent part of Saturday swapping out the power steering pump.
Today I scored a new set of chrome valve covers for $20.00. I had not planned on going with too much chrome on this build, planned on keeping it stock looking. But, for the price I could not pass them up. Took her out for a little spin and noticed I had a oil leak, so I limped her back home. Think it was the oil pressure unit. I hope I fixed it. I know my engine bay looks terrible, but here is the before and after. This ia new build and I still have alot of work to in there.
