Yep replaced the hoses immediately... one thing I am not going to mess around with is the ability to stop a ton and a half of metal...
Brakes are essential... LOL used to think differently... older and wiser now though!!! ![]()

Put the heads on but couldn't get a correct set of intake gaskets nor could I get a clutch today... so the engine will have to wait to be reinstalled for a few more days... or a week... will post the photos of the assembled block and the headers in a little while!

On the T/A I carefully removed the originals, noted the markings and then put them in plastic bags for posterity. Even the original date coated fuel and emission lines as well. ![]() |
