This thing has been fighting us every step of the way. One of the 074 heads had water weeping through a hole in the casting, so now we're swapping them out for a set of 840s and sticking these on a shelf for now.

I still haven't been able to drive it yet.

Looks like it has been welded on for a repair and not done very well. sucks when a project fights back continually.

That looks like a pretty easy fix.

Yeah, this one has been a battle. I'm not very experienced with mechanical work, so we're learning as we go. I've done a lot of metal fab and body work over the years, as well as a lot of suspension and brake work, but pretty new to going this deep into engine work.

Cale is learning quickly though... all good experience for him.
