While I'm waiting for the air conditioner kit to be shipped, I decided to get the engine and tranny installed. Of course it didn't go as planned I managed to damage the passenger side mount. Grrrrr The engine was rebuilt by a local shop in Dallas. Bored .030 over and painted Detroit Diesel Ceramic Green. The exhaust manifolds , intake, coolant tubes were ceramic coated with "titanium" color ceramic from a shop in OKC. Transmission was overhauled and a new converter installed.
