The engine is back out now so it can be diassaembled & cleaned. It was rebuilt a couple years ago but never used. It was covered with chain oil(?) before stored away. I also had to buy a trans out of an 4th gen F body, I won't say which one

We had an S10 trans but the shifter ended up in the middle of the dash. So rather than make a long shift rod I got the other trans. Which leads to another issue, the starter is now on the opposite side. It's always something with this little buggy
But it should be worth it when it's all done
