What happens when you log into Photobucket? Are they saying you need to get a subscription or something?

They want me to pay 39.99 dollars per month, if I want my pics on my threads... and I have two accounts... it would be 800 $ in a year.
This is their new policy to all their customers...
They are comitting "business suicide", as it was called in a web newspaper...

V8 parts coming together with actual motor...

Drivers side had no problem.



Exhaust needs a little of bending to fit.



The other side had some issue with oil filter... I had no idea that it would be so tight fit.



Some adjustment had to be done...

I tried that kit too, but smaller filter and modfied crossmember was easier and cheaper to do...
And oil tubes were too close to the crossmember.

Some progress...

After many delays, I started engine swap.



And engine has left the Eagle...



The powerline... mighty 258...



And what the heck is this? One bad rust repair attempt, I guess. So some grinding and welding before new motor goes in.

Wow, not much left!  But your work is amazing, so you've probably got it fixed already.

After grinding, heavy cleaning and some finishing job, it is time for fresh paint.
