It's Alive

Finally got some time
Started getting the engine ready for install


My boy Steve thinking he is helping
Dude talks about his volvo 24/7
It's mint as fuck so I can't blame him


 Freshly wrapped


All buttoned up


Ready to go in the next morning


9AM and we are in


Slowly and easy
The harbor freight cherry picker's reach is super short so I had to come in the sideways
Even sideways the reach was not long enough
Made for an extra pain in the butt trying to get everything aligned


Still got it done


Everything hooked back up minus linkage



And it's alive!
Fuel pressure was way too high
Engine was dyno'd at 3.5psi. I'm currently at 6psi.
Car was running super rich. Lots of smoke and some backfiring out the carb
Until I can get a fuel pressure regulator car will sit idle
It's always something...
