Before too long, [195] is going to return from Precision Chassis Works with the foundations of my roll cage installed. I plan on being ready to begin re-assembling the car as soon as that happens. The engine and transmission will be cleaned up and ready to install with fresh gaskets, belts, hoses, et al. This past weekend, I spent some time stripping Engine No. 3.5 down to the bare long block. Next weekend, I’ll be pressure washing it and getting things ready for some paint.
As you can see, I still need to remove (and replace) the timing cover and whatnot from the end of the mill, but that’s an easy job. I just ran out of time Saturday afternoon and called it good. Looking forward to having a shiny “new” engine and trans ready to drop into the race car in the coming weeks.
