Got the new engine all buttoned up this weekend:
Now I just have to pull the old drivetrain, finish installing the wiring, and bolt the new drivetrain in.

Would it help if I told you I also changed the front motor mount, sway bar bushings, and rotated tires on the van while I was doing things?

This’ll be the nicest part of your $100 beater for sure. Do you plan on cleaning up the engine bay before you put this lovely motor in?

Litre? What is the history on this British Engine?

I really hope you have paint plans for the car that are as lively as the engine

That’s the fun, there’s plenty of them in good shape to buy cheap, parts are cheap, and they take very well to basic mods.

It’s going a custom dark teal/green metallic with a graffiti/mural on the hood/driver’s fender.

It’s a Mitsubishi 6G72 SOHC 12v.

It’s getting repainted and some other minor things fixed as well.

I plan on giving it a quick respray before installing the new driveline.
Probably just a quick shot of satin black, unless I feel ambitious and paint it the same dk teal/green the car will be.
It’s just a daily, so I don’t want to spend too much time on it.

My cousins and daughters are drawing some stuff up right now. If they come up with something cool, I’m going to let them have some fun.

Yeah, you obviously don’t want to spend too much time prettying stuff up.

I noticed the oil cap was installed upside down.
Clearly this means you’re gonna have to rebuild it again or do an SBC swap.

That’s the hard to find 710 cap, they’re extremely rare these days.

We’ll see. Depends on the time frame really. If I get the old driveline out and have a couple days before the new goes in, I will spray it. If I get it out and start putting it back together again, it will likely stay original color.

Honestly, mission is make a fun daily for a few years.
If a few turns into a few decades, I won’t complain.

It’d just be hilarious to pop the hood and have a satin black bay with that beautifully painted motor in it and not touch the outside.

I will likely be like that for a month or so while I do body work and get it ready for paint.

Far less than my old daily: https://oppositelock.kinja.com/thought-id-post-up-my-old-acclaim-build-for-everyone-1823032640
I enjoy wrenching and doing body work/painting, so it’s soothing to me and keeps me occupied. ;)

I hate paint and body work. That’s probably what leads me to rat rods.
