Deena called me last night to let me hear the engine I'm getting from them running over the phone. Hopfully old red will be running soon. yes ill try and remember pic's this time.

:drool1: :drool1: Picking up engine tonight!!!! :drool1: :drool1:

think you'll have it goin by the 18th Allen? I am bringing the vert over for founders day. PM'd ya

IT WILL BE GOING BY THE 18th!!!! It may take a collective effort from all of us, but it will run.

not sure, I have the complete interior to change over too.

Thank you Brian. I really apriciate the support you and the others are giving me.

Well ran the new (used) engine through the steam cleaner at work as well as a bunch of other parts. Here are some pic's of the engine, empty hole it's going into, and the interior that needs replacing.

Wow that motor cleaned up nice.

I still have some parts left from the parts car. send me a list of what you need. and I'll see what I have.

Don't think I need anything just have a couple of wants like the electronic dist.,a/c Upper a/c hose, compresor, and a/c mounting stuff. If you want money for it maybe we could make payments and take delivery when paid in full. let me know.

Anybody fell like giving a guy a hand getting the engine in his 7 this weekend; like saturday morning maybe. I'm getting stuff together for it today. Call me and let me know

Well crap Mazda dosn't have anything I need in stock so i guess I'm on hold for another week unless someone has a pilot baring and seal laying around. I could replace the baring and seal when I get my new ones. Everything else can go no the engine later.

Next weekend is our BBQ. Will you be coming?

I'll be there, just late, have to work till 4pm or so. If nothing else I'll stop by and say hi.

Hi guys is anyone going to be around this week or weekend to help me get my car put together. The wife really wants to go on the poker run. Will be on vacation working on car all week after the 4th too. If you can help give me a call. I have the whole interior to take out of my parts car and put it old red, and of corse the engine install too. Thanks to anyone that can help. I'll make sure i take pic's this time lol.

Got Old Reds Engine In!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Well it finaly happened i got the engine in old red yesterday. It's always good when an engine practicly fall in. Just a couple of things left (starter, missing exhaust stud and hookup a few wires)and I can start her up. The neighbers are going to love me starting the car with it's uncapped header I'm sure. Well off to the bank to get more money. :rlaugh:

By the way if anyone is good at making sure I have everything hooked up right and timing the dizzy I could use an educated eye. Thanks

Let's see that baby on the road.

i can get you the exhaust stud and check the dist tonight
john

allan has the motor even left the back of your truck?

Yes it is out of the back of the truck and in the car. I'm having some starter and carb challenges but it is getting closer. John is helping me out and getting me pointed in the right direction. :)

I see you made it back on the internet before 5pm/or 7pm....LMAO

I'm at work. shhhhh

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Well Old Red still won't start for some silly reason; John and I have been beating our heads agianst the wall trying to figure it out. If your feeling bored and want a challange will be up and ready for the day by 10AM Saturday. Someone should be able to figure this out, maybe one of you can see something we can't. Give me a call if you need the addy or directions.

Got Old Red Running!!!!!!!!!

:rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

Some where along the line the pully with the timing marks got put on 1/4 turn off so when we timed the dizzy it was off enough all it would do in pop and snort now and then. Sure glad that ordeal is over.

A big thanks to John for all his help.
