Pictures you say, need proof you say.
Of course we still have a pile of parts to get through.
We'll get there, just need more coffee!

Went to the PnP with Kinder. I picked up a transmission cooler from a mid 90's Range Rover Discovery. I also got an electric fan from a 3.8l Lincoln, arm rests, and windshield wiper switch. |

When you said you pulled that off a Disco, and then began to say an electrical... I thought, why are you ruining the reliability of a bronco with LR electrical parts? Then I can kept reading and sighed with relief! Good score on the cooler! What purpose do you have for it and where are you mounting it? |

I am going to use it as a transmission cooler. I think I can mount it in front of the radiator. I will post pics when I do it. |

Kinder schooled me on the dana 44 today. We got the ring and pinion set, locker installed and ball joints installed. Would have been faster if I wasn't in the way, but I wanted to see how it all went together and worked. Thanks for the class Kinder, your awesome dude. See you again soon for the final push. |

I am finally getting my 351 going. It's only taken 1 1/2 years. Today I stripped the 351 the rest of the way. I took it to Western Engine so they could build the short block. Over the weekend I began sandblasting my Explorer serpentine brackets and my gt40 lower. I also ordered a new flexplate plate and new roller lifters. This week I am going to buy my Cam, roller rockers and heads. I was going to use gt40p heads, but decided to go aluminum instead. (If anyone wants gt40p heads I will be listing them soon for $100) |

Lol! Forgot about that. I don't need a blasting cabinet. My wife's judgmental glare looks exactly like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfczxBWJuNg |

I dropped my motor off last Monday and it was done by the following Wednesday. Here is the receipt. Terry at Western Engine was very friendly and knowledgeable. |

Did you like the work they did? I'm thinking about having them do my 170 long block. |

The motor looks great. I can't speak on the quality yet. I only picked it up yesterday and haven't had time to look it over. I will let you know. Not the cheapest shop, but not the most expensive either. P.S. They were about $100 cheaper than there estimate. |

Pulled the old 302 yesterday and mounted the 351 on the engine stand. |
