After scoring the NV4500 from pick n pull on Saturday I felt motivated to pull the donor engine from the parts truck. Managed to get it out, mounted on the stand and stripped down almost as far as I want to go without a better cleaning/degreasing.
Once clean I will be pulling the top end And swapping in the new ramjet cam/lifters, and rebuilt/ported vortec heads with 1.6 rockers. Intake and updated mpfi spider are ready and waiting as well. I plan to also pull the oil pan and check everything over quick while installing new rear main seal and pan gaskets.
Looking forward to have it running again as it was rebuilt 20,000km ago and last ran 10 years ago... I am still a few months away from being able to fire it up, but looking forward to getting it rolling under its own power before the fall.
