Hi gang,

As promised here are the most recent pictures from today's motor install.  :bananasmi  Everything went in smoothly as I hoped. I can't believe that this beautiful motor is the same rusted hulk that I removed last October. The motor shop did not paint the water pump so I have to wait until monday to get the proper color from them as my mechanic refuses to use the Mopar Hemi orange spray cans because they don't match.

Once that is done than the rest of the front of the motor can go back in and then hopefully....VROOM VROOM.  The trans, driveshaft and exhaust system are all in and soon this beast will roar again....I can't wait. :woohoo:

Ed

Great pics!  Keep us posted.   :woohoo:
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.
