So far lots of minnows and a few good biters!I'm glad y'all had good luck with FB. I had tons of interest when I posted donor parts there but nobody wanted to actually buy stuff, they just asked questions and wandered off...
And Milwaukee bladesGotta love a Sawzall....
It is amazing how clean your valves are.Haven't had much action in a couple of weeks. Been inching my way through pulling apart the engine to get it cleaned and possibly painted. I'm going for that showroom shine. Got the supercharger and intake off. From the ports looking in the valves look good. That's probably about as far as I'll go as far as internal inspection goes. DIYed a dual pass endplate for better cooling. I think it should hold up pretty good. If anyone has any questions about that, just ask. I'm about 5 weeks out from my original estimated pick up date so I need to start trying to make some headway.
where in Texas are you?I am 100% done with stripping the donor as far as the videos are concerned. I feel like I have read some things in the past about parts that were needed that weren't included in the videos, but I don't remember what they were. I didn't pull the rear hubs because I ordered the 5x114.3 hubs with my kit. I pulled the parking brake and cables even though my kit is supposed to come with one, because I'm not sure if I'll need any parts from it. Is there anything else that anyone can think of that I may need before I cut this thing up and send it to the scrap yard? Do I need the evap parts to get registered in Texas?

You got the engine mounted yet?Finally got #296 home last night! Had a good time meeting the DF crew yesterday and seeing some of the things they're working on. Here's a picture of it on the way home at a Texas treasure(Buccees), and another when I pulled into the driveway at the house. It's a long road ahead, but I'm glad to be able to say I'm on my way down it.View attachment 24680View attachment 24681
