Pulled Engine. It's always interesting tearing down an a car for the first time and seeing all the short-cuts and silly things the previous owner did. I found the PO only bothered to install one of the upper engine bolts. The tin is rusty as hell and it's gonna be a bitch getting all the rusty sheet metal screws off.

I also tore down an old 1835 I built 10-years ago. I'm hoping the case from the Thing, along with the 044 heads and counterweighted crank and other goodies from the 1853 will make a basis for a solid 1776 torque-monster.
