Heres the story of the engine build up of my 73 Monte Carlo.

The engine is a 350cui V8 manufactured in december 1972
The previous owner coocked it and left the water inside the block.

1st time i saw the car was in November 2014




Mildly cooked but hardly stuck


getting ready to embrace the new parts




mud on piston it worse, then mud on tire


this new dude looks better then the muddy one


december 72 it is



not much about the tranny rebuilding stock th350 rebuild with a full kit.


Engine lower part is done







the top comes next







it got new paint



we knew it would take time until we hear the engine running so we wrapped in for a bit more sleep 2018 may
Also I would like to say a big thank you to my engine mechanic who did a very good job on the engine.
Too bad he had no opportunity to have the honor to start it

 

Then as I mentioned earlier the car restoration was on pending for about a 2 years
The engine had to wait only a year
So heres is the 2nd part of the engine project (2015 may)










my wife looks a bit shocked




apologies for the wrong order of pics

 

No apologies. , great job on the rebuild.
