440 to Cummins Crew Cab Swap: More engine teardown.

How to Read this Blog

When I started this blog, I could not figure out, within the given parameters, how to get it to read logically. So it ended up with the freshest post on the top of the page with the top of the post being the beginning of the post. When you get to the end of the post, you will find the beginning of the previous post. A bit awkward, but ...it is what it is. (right David?)

Also, feel free to leave comments. I engaged the annoying "real person verification thingy" because some dork put an add to his product on my blog and disguised it as a comment. He probably works on wall street.

More engine teardown.

Cleaning-up the engine and getting ready for paint, I wanted to remove as much as possible that was easy. I like the way an engine looks when the base (block) is freshly painted and the accessories stand in contrast to the base color.

To get to the top inside nut on the power steering pump, I had to modify a 15 mm wrench. Luckily, in my toolbox I was able to find a cheap loner wrench. A few seconds with the torch, and I was able to get right back to work. (unfortunately, I left the acetelene bottle on and now it is empty. Doh!)
