It's not often you see a motor just sitting in a little wagon like that! Very cool and I'm excited about this build.

Also, nice score on the rims and tires. They look pretty good and if they've got "like new" tread on them then that's all the better.

Man that wagon is nice it's held a 305 and a 350 it's part of my get by with what you can tools haha yea the motors small but it's got a long stroke

 

[82chevy350]

haha! Is an engine hoist even necessary? I'd say 3 guys and a case of beer is all you need for that job!

I just used a cherry picker I'm not a big guy haha

Now you sound like a guy work with. Poor guy is about 5'2 maybe 5'3 and we are always making short and/or small jokes about him which he does not like at all, then he'll come back occasionally with something off the wall, like "thats not what she said" Or, "I might be small but have a long stroke", etc. No, doubt carts like that are good to have around. I have a garden wagon with 10 inch air up tires on it. I can pull a complete small block across the grass in that thing. It struggles and begs for mercy, but it does the job.

i just gotta figure out where the new gaskets go thats gonna be a pain i wish they would include where each gasket goes in the fel pro kits

 

[82chevy350]

This is what i been busy doing why i havent been on here much i didnt do a rebuild just put new gaskets and paint man was that motor dirty and found out my head gasket was leaking in a few spot so it should run real good now

Nice man! How did you come up with that green as your engine color?

 

[82chevy350]

I like that green, if thats the ford flathead im pretty sure you have the only grabber green one in existance. Very neat!

 

[82chevy350]

Nope it's not a ford flathead its a f134 hurricane motor

Sounds good man!! I like it I was just curious on how you chose it. I like all things unique and away from the norm

 

[greencountry05]

Reminds me of the green on the Forestry Service trucks.

 

[HotRodPC]

Reminds me of the Lamigra trucks color, maybe just a tad brighter, but I bet its close enough to see the bean take off running.

 

[Old77]

Will the motor color tie in to the eventual color scheme of the jeep?

 

[82chevy350]

Prolly will i know im doin both differential colors grabber green and so yea its gonna be black with things on it grabber green

 

[82chevy350]
