The
fuel tank was full of rust, so we cut it apart, cleaned it, and here we are welding it
back together. |
![DCP_0419.JPG (484283 bytes)](../images/DCP_0419_small.JPG) The
pistons are going in. |
The
pony engine had some cracks in the water jacket and welding them wasn't
working, so we ground out the cracks and used JB Weld to seal them. |
![DCP_0422.JPG (616987 bytes)](../images/DCP_0422_small.JPG) We
sandblasted most of the parts to get rid of all the rust and grime. |
![DCP_0424.JPG (536546 bytes)](../images/DCP_0424_small.JPG) And
we primered and painted the frame, oil pan, fuel tank, and motor mounts. |
The
bell housing has been installed and we are finishing up the installation
of the fuel tank. |
We
have bolted the painted oil pan on the block and the installed the engine into
the frame |
The
valve train is being installed. |
Next
we painted the block, pony engine, fuel injection pump, water pump and
some radiator parts. |
![DCP_0440.JPG (582281 bytes)](../images/DCP_0440_small.JPG) The
fuel system and the pony engine are installed. |
The
water pump is installed and the beginnings of the hydraulic pump drive is
visible through the bottom of the radiator. |
Then
we painted a bunch of external engine parts. |
The
generator and oil filters are installed. |
