New custom motor and install almost finnished

[Airpacker]

The engine bay ready for the motor. This is the result of about 100 hrs of work. Along the way I learned that aluminum comes in straight and square pieces, boats not so much.
Candy purple with metal flake over a silver base for the floors. Snow white powder coat on pretty much everything else.

The perfect home for the green Monster

[Airpacker]

Looks like a new raised hatch AND a scoop are in order huh?

 

[catastrophe]

Great work pal. Looks sweet.

[Airpacker]

Sometimes I actually think I might know what the h ell I'm doing

 

[Airpacker]

Matching flake in the floor and the engine. Sometimes you can see it, sometimes you can't.

And just for Tyler, yes thats a painted oil filter

 

[Airpacker]

Great work pal. Looks sweet.



Saturday???

I wish. Still have lots to do yet. New hatch and and some upholestry, new carpet, new drive so I can actually use the horsey power.
I figure 3 weeks before I hit the water if all goes well.

I thought it was a better colour combo than dusty rose and baby blue :26:

 

[MattBMiller]

Oh, I've been here watching over the dock but I haven't had alot of posting time with this little project on the go.

 

[Airpacker]

A couple of details.

Get real performance drive resevoirs modified. One with the factory low level sensor and one is now the power steering resevoir.

Modified original belt tensioner bracket and pulley and new idler pulley to take the place of the recirc pump pulley. Oddly enough, theres a timing cover stud from a 3.8l v6 Ford in there now.

SX fuel pump and custom fuel cooler mounted under the engine where the original cool fuel system was.

LOL, I believe "Ludicrous speed" is the new setting on the throttle lever
It used to just have two positions, "Dock" and "Drive". Now it has three:biggrinjester:
