Engine strip down

Yesterday I had a chance to put the SB Chev on it's new stand, and start stripping it down.

I wondered whether it was worthwhile doing a rebuild, as it was running when I got the car - as you will see from the photos, if I'd shoved the Chev into the van as is, I would have been taking it out again soon.

Enough talk. Time for pictures.

The new engine stand. Ripper!


The engine on the trailer at home


Very neat cradle that Dave put together for me


On the stand, about to be removed from the trailer.


Finally, on the stand!


Strip down starts


Timing chain is waaay loose


Yep, waaay loose!


Both cogs and timing chain will be replaced with double row units

More picture of the strip down soon.
