Jinks engine build thread

Lmk if you need help with shakedown [emoji41]

Lol. I thought this many times. But it is hard to rush a mechanical artist. If you need constant updates, Shad isn’t the guy for you. If you want it done right, he is your guy....
Just can’t wait. The cost, don’t ask.....
 
Welcome to the East Coast Jinks!

Good luck with getting your car back soon.

I feel for you as my car has been on jack stands for a year now (mostly due to my lazy butt though, haha).
 
A few more pics. Sorry, I tried flipping them in photo editor and they still post crooked.

He sure looks happy to be working on your car! :D
 
Good to see an update! Car is looking good too!
Thanks. I have been stock piling parts since I last seen the car. I am just glad the block is back from the machine shop. That is what took the most time, which isn’t DA’s fault.
 
How is your car coming along?

Slow... let's see who's will be done first :D I think I'm looking at late January to get mine back.

Mine should be done in the next couple of weeks.
 
Justa bout.... definitely should have a coming home party.

I'd give it a good go over and make sure EVERYTHING is done right. As you'll be thousands of miles away from Shad...
 
Yes, it took forever. The entire engine bay and engine sub assembly was pressure washed and cleaned.
 
More pics. Getting there.

Thanks. It looks great strapped to the intake. I hope Christmas comes early for me. I’ve been somewhat good.:biggrin:
 
Looks like it won’t be finished for November.:mad: Waiting on seals on backorder and the helper stopped coming to work.
Let’s try for December.:frown:

Oh, the "helper stopped coming to work" excuse. Heard it a thousand times. Lol. Good luck with December!
