Stop in for a cup of coffee

I turned in my poject for Inventor 3D class today and got an "A"!!!!

Now I have to see what my math grade ended up... Hopefully an "A" also - I think that I did well on the test...
 
Eddie came over today and we worked on his 340 until I had to go to class...

We got the push rods in and adjusted the rocker arms. We have about 1 1/2 turns of thread below the arm now...

Then we put on some "*****" parts to cover some areas that we didn't want painted and haven't installed the part yet (because they are not to be painted the same color as the engine and will be installed when the engine is dropped in the car).... Then we made some cardboard covers to cover the exhaust ports and fuel pump mounting pad from paint

I don't want to mess up his brand new powder coated intake from our infamous Cudachick with the engine harness, so we are going to install that after the engine is dropped in...
We have the engine all in primer now and Eddie is coming over today and we will finish painting the engine turquoise and then start gathering everything to mate the trans to the engine.... Then when that's done, we will pull the 318 out of his Dart and drop the 340 in...

Then get a new drive shaft from the local drive shaft shop, and then to the exhaust shop to connect the headers to the exhaust system and install a H or X pipe....

Here are some pictures below of our progress today...

Nice lab Mr. Gorsky...

Casey is chocky lab #2 for us, that pic is a bit long in the tooth...she's 15 months old now. Mintie was with us for twelve years.

We had a twelve month break between them.....we found it pretty hard to pony up and go around again. Funny how they look the same, but are so different!!

It sucks when they pass, but they give so much love and happiness, it's worth the pain and sorrow when they die... I would rather deal with the pain and sorrow when they pass, than not to have had them in my life at all...

I missed my Dalmatians when they passed, but then got another one and it really helped me through missing them so much...

Your are right, they may look the same, but they all have their own personalities... You can't "replace" them, just get another one to fill the empty hole in your heart... But it's nice to get to know each dog's personality and quirks... That's what makes them unique, just like people, everyone has their own personality....

It can be a real pita to install the intake with the engine in the car, esp if it's an iron intake. They're just so heavy and difficult to maneuver.

Regardless, if it was me...I'd be installing it with the engine on the stand.

I have the leveler bar to tilt the engine and trans in as it's installed... I don't want the brackets that bolt to the engine to gall the finish.

Luckily we have an aluminum LD340 to go on it, so it's not a heavy cast iron one....

You will see when we get it installed and going... It should look great when we are finished...

Besides, I can let Eddie take care of the "tough" parts.... I won't feel a thing... LOL!
