Engine Reassembly and Mounting 


Son, Richie...Replacing the Intake Manifold 
 
  
 

 


Amazing...it still fits! No more "50 years of grime" 
 



 

Broken Flywheel Bolts! 
 


Broken Bolts all drilled out! 
 


Newly turned flywheel with new 'pressed on' Ring Gear. 
The guy that turned it said he hasn't seen steel this hard in many years. 
 


Securing it to the engine hoist 
 


All tied up and ready to go!! 
 


Double checking the knots. We used nylon to prevent scratches 
 



 

Over she goes 
 


Down she goes! Easy does it! 

 


Securing the Mounts 
 


Note the Jack under the sump (until the gearbox is in place) 

 


Then the new Clutch 
 
 

 
  
  
 

 
 

 


The Carbs were next 
 


I'm still amazed -- No More Grime!
