Well, it's physically IN the Scout now..
As of 12:30am 1/14/03. I finally finished up the engine re-assembly, installed the rear main seal, oil pressure sending unit, thermostat housing, etc. and put it back into the engine bay.
Took a little jockeying to get everything to line up, but eventually it cooperated.
Now I just need to get the various add-ons hooked back up - coil, alt, power steering, fan, radiator, distributor, and install the new plug wires and 4bbl.. then put some spark to it!
Should make some "prep" progress tonight.. and I'm hoping to fire it by Saturday.
That'll leave 2 weeks before Winter Baja for various other pre-race prep.
Things like checking the oil and brakes, cleaning this and that out, making sure the lights work, etc.
Also need to wire the heater blower on the Travelette.. and soon the trailer wheel bearings need repacked..
