What else is there to do when it rains....

Finally, the wet weather has made Mick start on his Challenger, its only been about 4 years or so that its been sitting around waiting for this.

The 440 engine and gearbox have been removed, manifold and cam removed for replacement











Check back in 4 years time and you may see the finished product...:rol::rol:

Micks says truth is Im only doing cam, lifters and manifold on the old 440 and it would take me longer to get the other engine off the engine stand as it would to do the job plus its nice to sit down and work watching the V8s on the big screen as Im getting old! :hangloose:

Well he is back on the tools again! This is what Mick has been upto, after stripping the motor and rebuilding it, painting it etc its almost ready to go back in the Challenger, but only problem is the Challenger needs to be painted first. Oh well at least the motors nearly done! :zip:
