What have you done to your wagon lately? (Let's keep the thread going!)

fixed a flat and insured her now I can DRIVE her

 

Engine swap fairlane stw 68

Just finnished engine swap on my daily drive fairlane. I took the original 302 out

And replaced it with a 351w efi from 91 econoline.





That upper plenum on the 351w trcuk motor was too high and hood didnot close so had to make some room for it.

 

Nice job jugi especially like the hood!!!

 

After sitting about 6 months fired up the Shwag yesterday, she rumbled to life after some gas pedal pumping and starting fluid, purred like a kitten after a few spits and sputters. I just sat there grinning ear to ear listening to her, oh my God it was music to my ears. What a great kick in the a$$ to get things going, bought her a new air filter today at work.

 

And?????????? Just what were you sitting on?
Anyway. Yippy!

 

On the floor on top of the trans. hump! Felt good on my bum.

 

Expensive massage machine! Vrroom, vrroom. I know how it feels too. Yummy!

 

At least I used a plastic milk carton to test drive my wagon. Even a red one!
Last week I drove five miles north to get gas then that five plus ten to town and back. Wow 30 miles with the new tires. All that was wrong with the new tire was the garage didn't replace the valve stems and one was rotted at the base.
I thought it was some kind of law they had to replace the valve stems. Most garages demand they do. I can understand now.

 

The sound

Makes my heart pump piss!

 

Indeed sir! Recorded it on my phone just to remind me what I'm missing out on every day she sits without interior. It's GO time!

 

I'll bet you played that all day at work!
Udddnnn udddennn!

 

You know I did!!! Blorum blorum blorum!! Sounds like a 440 instead of a 360. Sweet sweet music...

That's what we've been waiting to here. Happy unhibernation.

 

Thanks Fannie!!! It feels like spring here and I'm ready to get something done!

 

We had a great weekend weather wise, it really felt like spring here too. But today it was back to snow squalls. It's been a Looong snow winter. I think I'm ready for spring.
