Mmmmm, unfortunately some times big engines have big problems, after fitting the 351C - 4V back in after running it in on a dyno to try to avoid any teething problems - KABOOM!!!
 OK couldn't resist a shot of the finish after paint. Attachment: ZD shot 19.JPG well maybe two shots Attachment: ZD shot20.jpg And the engine going in! Got 396 hp with bodgey distributor (as I realised later) Attachment: ZD shot21.jpg A quick tune after adding a 830 annular discharge holley and BOOOM  resulting in thes great pics! NOT  Attachment: piston1.jpg Attachment: sump close up.jpg note the hole in sump, mangled bits including thrust washer from cam and a severely straightened big end, courtesy of failed rod-bolts (milidon) You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Yeah those scoops have been deleted from this build! Have been doing a bit more on the interior with help from brother in law / mate Steve
Attachment: ZD shot21 010.jpg Attachment: ZD shot21 002.jpg This is how she stands as of last Friday Attachment: ZD shot21 007.jpg Attachment: ZD shot21 004.jpg Have been buying a few little bits 'n' pieces, door trim clips,grille clips, door trim gaskets, scuff plates all the fiddly bits you need as you've lost them all! couldn't resist this little one for the console  Attachment: ZD shot21 014.jpg Will pick up donor 351 soon, then the fun begins - it's only getting a freshen up but with my 4V heads and a camtech cam, should be nice!

Yes especially nowadays with the RRS gear just go struts and then the shock tower removal kit and hey presto! No the b**ch didn't pay a cent! As for the engine that is part of the reason it's been so long I only this week through out that sump full of shrapnel after 15 odd years!

Any update on a forthcoming donk for the old girl everytime I read this threadf it reminds me of when I was in highschool, not good times, but a bloke had a white zd with a shaker, sadly he wrote it off I found out after , he had an xw then.
Shame to hear it got destroyed. but then again that's one of the problems with working in wrecking yards, watching all those hours get crushed. anyway I'm glad you've held onto it this long and hope to see her cruising one day.  soonnner preferable, but love takes time
