The thing ran and drove just fine when I picked it up. I do remember a slight tick on startup, which was those lifters.Good luck with it. Seriously I hope thing turn out how you'd like.
Just seems like a whole lot of work swapping tired old engines that at least need to be freshened up
The goal was a cheap engine with a new cam and gaskets to swap into my car. Originally for boost, but now if it gets boost it won't be for long. This engine will come back out, but I need something in the car for a few months while I figure out what I'm doing with the permanent engine for this car. Hence my disregard for pistons, rings, and bearings.
If I hadn't driven this engine personally before pulling it, I'd be far more likely to start replacing everything in sight.
