Engine Back In
Well here we are guys, she's back in the beast at
last !!
I had a few probs getting it back in, biggest
prob was the engine crane, it was a few inchs to
short to reach back into the engine bay.but we
got around that with a few bits of wood to push n
shove etc. The engine is set back in the bay so
it was a struggle.
Next prob then was getting the engine to match up
to the gearbox while trying to get the torque
converter to slip into the slot in the
flywheel.The car being on my drive on a slight
hill didn't help either.
Once all the bits n bobs were back on i tried to
start her,but there was no petrol flowing into
the fuel pump. So i poured some petrol down the
fuel line above the pump tried again and belive
it or not is tried to start. I pulled the choke
out and what a roar it made when i tried again.
At last the beast is alive again !!
I was so pleased that it started after rebuilding
it myself...
