started my motor replacement

[mustang51js]

well i finally said the heck with it and started my motor replacement,i am planning on having the heads ported so i figured if i am taking half the motor out for that i will just keep going with the whole thing. I have a mmr900 block sitting in my shed for a couple months and was going to wait till winter but what the heck. I was a little scared at first but i am taking my time and its not that bad, i just have to mark what i need to and dont lose any nuts and bolts.i will be updating this as i go so heres some pics of what i have done today. i wont be back in the state till sunday so nothing will happen till after that, enjoy.pics are from my phone so not the best, i may have some questions along the way since i have never done anything this big before

before

super charger removed, overflow tank out

intake, alt,gone

this is as far as i got, it was too hot out to keep going

these are some pics of the new block

thanks, i plan on taking my time because my patients runs out quick when i work on things and i wind up breaking things,lol so i am in no rush to get it done.Everything went smoother than planned today so hopefully evrything else will.i am an expert at taking the tranny down since i did it 3 times in one day when changing the clutch lol

something wrong with the motor? or are you just going forged

[mustang51js]

i am just going forged,i bought the block cheap and i hate to let it sit around. Only thing that stinks is i wasted money on my setup now with the dyno tune and just had a head replaced last november but its all part of having fun with the car.This is something i planned on doing for a while and everything came together quicker than i thought, i am allways online looking for deals so i have been getting stuff for good prices,like the pacesetter long tubes i got for $190 shipped new.
