    D5CE1909-FC2F-4E31-87FD-DBF396C6EC27.jpeg it isn’t easy to find time to work on my project this time of year, but I had five hours of free time Saturday and accomplished removing the engine and transmission. Since then I have removed the old steering gear box and sway bar. I have a quick ratio gear box that is 2 to 2 1/2 turns stop to stop to replace my old 4 to 4 1/2 turn gear box. I have a 1 1/4 inch sway bar to replace my original 3/4 inch sway bar. I have also purchased a full polygraphite front end kit from P.S.T.

    I spent this Saturday multitasking. I started by removing the second coil spring and cleaning and inspecting the suspension and frame. Then I turn my attention to the engine and started taking it apart. I discovered that it had been burning very rich, valves and Pistons are black. Cylinder walls look good. There was no metal present in the oil pan. My engine has the elusive KP engine code!
