Efi 351w Swap

[nelzfoxes]

I ordered the timing cover water pump bolt kit. Well I opened it and I went by their inventory sheet and it was one stud short. So I called and they’re gonna ship it out first thing tomorrow. Then I went to the online diagram and it isn’t short a stud. I feel a little silly. Oh well.

In the little inventory box for the “F” stud it has a quantity of “3”. I received 2.

 

[nelzfoxes]

You can see below that I only need 2 of the studs.

I ordered the water pump AND timing cover bolt kit. The more complete kit of the ones listed in the pic. (LRS-8501BHDW)

 

[nelzfoxes]

Well, I torqued the heads down on a set of felpro head gaskets. I installed the timing cover and water pump. The cobra roller rockers are all tightened down on their pedestals. New length pushrods to accomodate the roller cam and lifters have been installed. I put an order in for oil pan gasket and arp oil pump shaft. I am hoping to swing the engine in next week or the following week. I have to modify the coolant bypass tubes that are on the intake so that they clear injectors. I just need everything to fall miraculously into place! Haha!

It ain’t pretty.

Engine swap setback? Not really. I’m waiting on parts anyway.

That pic needs to be your avatar lol

 

[nelzfoxes]

Aaargh! I received some of my necessary gaskets to button up my 351. I finished installing the oil pan. Then I flipped it over and started to seal up the intake, but one bolt decided to strip out. The forward most bolt on the passenger side. I need to helicoil the head. Darn.

Haha! Yes. Definitely yes. Lol!

This really isn't ugly just not clean, the underside is where the exxon valdez lives, damn intake leak.

Not ugly at all! Looks pretty clean to me! Haha! I like the intake. My filter is mounted right on the mass air and I think it’s causing a slight driveability issue.
