j20 rebuild
Hi guys, finally got the old girl back on the road after rebuild. Back to bare metal with body off, done all the work myself bar full custom exhaust. Currently running standard diffs front and rear, np435 trans np208 transfer case powered by a warm 351 Windsor. I also have a Windsor to t18 bellhousing if any one is interested.
Also converted to the razor grill which I think looks pretty sharp. Lol.

thanks guys, has been a long process and its still not over.
The "rebuilt engine" has died. split number 5 piston bore. it has about a 4 inch crack in it. block is toast. all cylinder had previously been sleeved, dirty trick in my book.
any way, shes pulled apart again in the shed, once i have the engine situation rectafied and back on the road ill take a heap of pics.
among other things i also have a partially rebuilt amc 360 if any one is chasing one. was going to finish building it and install it but decided to stick with the windsor since it was already transport approved. in hindsight i probably should of stuck with that plan.
any way will post pics as i go.

That a good looker mate, colour suits it. I suppose you'll have to keep that block for eng.no. There is a locktite product for sealing sleeves that makes them like a new block, don't remember much else about it, too long ago. I think back then you had to send the block somewhere to get it done. Nowdays there would be more engine builders with access to it. Supposedly gives same heat transfer and strength as unsleeved block.
