Time for the payback portion.. Bring torch and wire brushes, it is time to get dirty!!
Gene I have all the pulleys we talked about yesterday. I will get them coated and your way soon.
Today, Roger and I got the old 289 out and on the engine stand (know anybody that wants a complete, tired 289?). Now comes the slow, hard part of the process: cleaning up the engine compartment. It's a mess!

I've seen worse. You'll have it whipped into shape in no-time. And then we can put the new one in after the front-end parts are swapped out... while we're at it. There are those four evil words again.
I'm also not sure you can prove that was me behind that hoist. I've been resting on my couch all day long.

Hmmmmm......... I may have to increase the brightness and repost that pic. Didn't realize it was so dark.

Naw... I confess. It was me. I'm not sure anything can "brighten me up" these days.

Great news Gene I didnt hear the "While we r at it" I swear
Bill Proctor .. 1963 Falcon Sprint. Looking forward to learning new things.
If you need a place to bury that 289, put it in a box and send it over. I have another one in the shop. Maybe I can make one not so tired one???
After finding out how quickly Gene got rid of his old 302, once he gets rid of this 289, I may get rid of my extra 69 302 block and crank and all the other parts to it I'll never use. I'll wait until he sells his, so as to not compete with him.
What a guy.
I know.

I put up a posting on the Van forum for your motor as the 289/302 fits nicely without doghouse modification (). Hopefully you can get a little $$ for it to fund the rest of your project.

What in the world are all these wires for?

A good time to upgrade to a one wire Alternator

They'll go nicely into my much bigger bin of wires!
Glad to see you got the connectors apart...
