Last night I decided to have a little fun with the old motor before pulling it out. I put the spark plugs in and some fresh oil. Car started a little rough but cleared up then it was on. Let me tell you, for base timing (I left the spout connector out) and a blown head gasket she still spun 3rd with 3.73's and 245/45-17's. Only downfall is the whole firewall is now covered with milkshake (oil and water). I think it may have been the dipstick tube that popped out, could that have done it? I might go for another run before pulling it out anyway here are some pics. Crappy cell pics.
