Just wanted to share my weekend with you guys.

My son started rebuilding his motor and never finished it before going into the Marines. He's coming home from bootcamp in 2 weeks, so I took on this huge task to suprise him with it.
This was a complete block up rebuild, not much isn't new. All stock for this car. Car started right up and ran well, small coolant leak which we fixed

Time for a beer.













UPDATE:

Finished the dozens of little things that needed attention before a road test on Thanksgiving morning. Car ran just fine after rings broke in and stopped smoking.
