Block pretty much ready to go. Waiting on piston rings (in the mail) then I gotta grab my coated bearings from Chris and the euro pistons go in/short block goes together.

I forgot to take a photo of this stuff on the scale, but I think it came to 21#'s IIRC. (Balance shafts, covers, hardware associated with them, etc). Should rev a bit more freely.

My engine bay was always a bit of a pet peeve of mine. The firewall always looked SOOOOO messy.

So I finished my AC delete and started cleaning it up. Going to sand out the brake booster and give it a new coat, have some gold foil to coat the heat shields with, and I’m rerouting the two bundles of wires that go across the firewall so there will be absolutely nothing going there except for the ground cable to the block and the main harness poping through the firewall and below the intake.

Hmm that looks good… guess I’ll replace the clutch line with stainless while I’m at it.

More work on stripping the underbody coating. Hopefully borrowing/renting a rotisserie soon so I can do the underbody “quickly”.
