I picked this up the other day. Motor is popped and the extent of the damage is unknown yet. The plan is to drop in my other built motor from the white Neon.



More details and updates coming soon.

What's all that white shit on the ground? You should really clean that up.

Looks like some kind of corrosion?

Made a little progress today. Pulled the engine.







The intercooler and piping had probably a half quart of oil in them

Next step is to clean up the engine bay in preparation for the other engine.

No wheels, axles, ball joints. No problem. Tractor ftw.



Cleaned the engine bay a bit with a pressure washer.



Still needs a heavy degreasing, but much better than it was.

Good progress! Thanks for keeping us updated. I appreciate it! :-)

Rust!





More engine bay prep and painting when weather permits.

Looks class, any update on how you're getting on with this?

Engine bay paint. (Blacks adds 5hp)

Short block almost installed. Left motor mount is toast. (Going to fill it)
Needs a cleaning. Been sitting outside all winter with duct tape over the deck



Trans and new clutch install coming soon.
