Engine compartment overhaul

[marvgarr]

well took all the tin off the engine pulled the blower bearing housing needs a new bearing removed all the wiring harness and all the plugs and grommets and painted the engine compartment flat black spent 2 hours scrubbing old grease off but looks nice I removed a rod cap to see how bad the motor was and found out that it had just been rebuilt the bearings looked brand new top and bottom the cylinders are new pistons are new this was a big relief to find out save me time and also I just bought two more corvairs they are I need of work dont run but are both full of parts and trunks are full of parts one is a 60 700 2 door and the other is a 63 900 monza 2 door the body on the monza is perfect the 60 needs floor pans and interior the monza needs interior also
