engine teardown!
soooo i've been working a lot on this engine, and i'm down to the meat and patata's. almost fell and busted my head open trying to get the LIM off... more than a little force was necessary. i was lifting the entire engine off the stand and it still wasn't coming off, but alas, it released. and here's the beauty i found after removing the heads....
yes, that is a LOT of antifreeze in cylinder 5... lovely.
and more... prettyyyyy.
and some of the lovely parts i took off 
yay!! now i need a torque wrench......

i'm not sure yet... just tearing it down. this is the spare one i bought for $75. as soon as i save up the money, probably in a few weeks, i'll be sending in the UIM and LIM to get ported and polished, i'm also getting a new TB at the same time!

she will for the rebuild though. there isn't too much more she can "tear down".
you'll probably need 2 torque wrenches. i'd get a cheap one that does a decent range of ft/lbs and then a good one that does low in/lbs.

i'd imagine getting a good torque on it would be harder when its just free standing.
having the thing bolted to 2 tons of other metal/rubber makes it easier for engine to NOT move. |

not really, most engine stands lock into place so you have no problems....

well with just the block now, you should be able to lift it into place yourself and bolt it to an engine stand......

just have to share a funny comment my 15 year old sister made the other day..
"oooh when you get it back together we should put it in that car in the garage!"
she was referring to the 1969 GTO. I was like yes tiff, that would be a brilliant idea!!!! not.

You should put ported/ polished 3500 heads and UIM/LIM... that would be tight. The 3500 UIM is aboslutely massive, I think you'd be pleased with it.

You tearing it completely down?
may as well...
My dad said the biggest improvement he seen off building a motor was having the pistons balanced.
He just (last spring) rebuilt his motor into a 327 for his 69 Z28.
