My donor engine arrived today. This thing is immaculate. I was very impressed with the crating too. It was completely enclosed and tied down with cables and straps. I highly recommend Contemporary Corvettes, a.k.a. Fparts Salvage if anyone needs an engine. http://www.stores.ebay.com/id=11781074&ssPageName=L2

I was pretty surprized to see how clean it was. I always invision juck yard engines to be filthy. The thing looks like a Factory crate motor ready to run!.

UPDATE:

Today I stripped it down to the heads. Everything is off the engine except the timing chain cover, the A/C compressor, alternator and the tranny. I went as far as removing the rocker arms and pushrods too. Enough for one day... tomorrow I'll probably be seeing the tops of the pistons.

Time to start buying some go-fast goodies!
