Started cleaning up the welds on my exhaust. Should finish up grinding it tomorrow. All that's left is two bends at the back and the muffler.

Drained my oil yesterday. Lots of beautiful metal flakes in there. As nice as those flakes look obviously that's a very bad sign. Picking up a new motor this week. Goal is to get it running by my bday November 6th.

Also ordered a new shifter carrier so it hopefully won't rub on the driveshaft anymore.

End of day 1. Flipped my car around so the nose is facing inside my garage. Broke down the motor a little bit. Taking my time with it, not stressing about time.

Yesterday was day 3. Started hammering away at my old motor.
And i got my first look under the valve covers and the valley pan of the new motor.

those heads look clean AF man.
dont worry about the valley, thats just normal coolant build up if its not changed frequently enough.We're in deep now boys
