More engine assembly pics staring Jason Lee/ Prorac2.

I’m so proud of him! He assembled most of the engine himself.

I just gave some occasional guidance, and fetched tools. Lol. Hey……someone has to look up torque specs. Lol. Enjoy!

Good deal, it won't be down long with the progress the two of you are making. I wish I had the work space to get my 416 built as quickly as you have.

This is more of a catch up, update.

We’re not moving that fast. This has been going on for about 4 months.

I’m just catching everyone up

That was totally the idea Bob. Lol

Mission accomplished. Lol.

That way when we leak in someone’s driveway we can say, “look, see, wasn’t me”. Lol

If the weather stays nice like it is, hopefully next month we can get it over to our buddies shop and get the exhaust connected back up.

Grandpa passed on one hell of a legacy, that's for sure. He was one cool old dude.
 
Another project has taken place this winter. Jason had the seats reupholstered.

They turned out great. And compliment the rest of the interior perfectly!

We hooked the headers up to a pair of cut outs and then hooked those into the original exhaust system we ran with the 318. We have sound clips but they’re too big to post here. It sounds great.

2.25 pipes and jegs chambered welded mufflers.
