Engine Replacement

The time has finally come to replace the tired engine in the red Jeep.

I pulled the engine in about two hours and stashed it in the garage next to the “new” engine, the one I bought off Johnny.

I then went through Johnny’s old engine, putting a Renix head on it (I’m saving his head for the stroker), replacing the oil and water pumps, and replacing every single seal and gasket on the beast. I then dropped it in. I have no photos of that part of the job because I just didn’t have the time to do so. While I was in there I cleaned up the wiring (finally properly fixing the lower engine harness) and installed the Mobi-Arc.
