Default Engine Replacement

I try to get as much time on this project as I can right now.

I am replacing the Souza engine that had the compression problem with a bottom end assembled by RAM PERFORMANCE.

The new "bottom end" has the extra case pins,extra oiling, RAM's cam,& the forged pistons.

Everything else gets moved over to this new block....oil pump,water pump,RAM heads,intake & carb.

Break her in & try again !

A few snags....I have to tap the crank bolt holes to refit the redrive.

9mm x 1 to 3/8 x 24 .

Lots of other little details to do also like powder coating the oil pan and new bellhousing & all the other parts that had not yet been finished.

Looks like another busy winter ! Here are some pics...
