Default Just like New

Here is a picture of what is sitting in the work shop at the moment. You may remember it as it has been on a few of keiths videos. but it has been said that if kieth wants a blitz to drive straight into a dam he has to look else where.

Default Dams

But Max, we could do a comparative shot to see whether the waterproofing kit has been fitted in the restoration!

Looking good. Is Aaron doing all the work?

Obviously the front shell has been removed to replace it with one like this:

Default carrier engine

I wish Santa gave me one of those for christmas. Aaron reckons we should put it in the old ute. We would be able to pick up some sheillas then.

This is the original engine out of my blitz in nice runing order all it needs is a new clutch and a rear main seal. Does anyone know where i can get a sump gasket as it should be replaced as im doing the seal.

Default Hey Aaron

In view of the chick magnet effect (noted above) of hotted-up engines perhaps you should add a couple of carbies, do the cam and a set of chrome headers.
For the ultimate in attraction you could chrome plate the rocker and tappet covers too.

And the green undercoat looks good, but are you going to make the top coat a decent colour, like Kakhi?

Default Fan club?????

Max...just a quick ????

Is that the original fan???? six blades...?? or was is from another engine..... I have seen six blades on GMC 248....4 blades on 216..... it is a 216 right??? usually 4 blades... and I am running five blades on a Chev 261 circa 1958.

Willing to learn...... or is this a Aussie trick to keep things cooler.

I reckon a good lookin bloke like myself just hangin out the winda and cruzin would no dout atract the eye of a sort or too.

The fan is probably an aussie thing to keep it cool as that was the fan that came on the engine and it is the original 216 from the c15a. We have come across a few engines that do have 4 blades.

Richard this is Aarons project which hes has had for a few years now, its the one in the water in kieths video. Aaron is painting it an odd colour so he stands out in a crowd. We are not heading to Alice this time round, father wants to go to the ceremony that there having in canberra during August.

Totally foolproof! Works every time. (Note the leg lifting up. The old movies say this is a sure sign you're "on to something" )
