Engine Rebuild Project (April-August 2003)
Engine out
Engine in truck (basically complete)
1/4 of the way through this engine project. Only took about 1 month to get this far... *shakes head* it's long road ahead, but I'll quote JFK on this one.
"We do things not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

The heart of the beast. The farthest this heart has been away from the beast in more than 8 years.

The good ol' torque converter hanging out with the empty engine compartment.

The flywheel that only looks rusty in pictures for some reason. In real life it looks fine, *shrugs*.

How the hell am I going to get this back in...?

Hanging by a thread.

What Van sees.

That's a huge engine.
