SWAPMEET HOT ROD ENGINE OVERHAUL - PART 4

In this episode, we continue our journey of building Celyna’s small block Chevy engine. With the fresh paint now perfectly dry, it's time to start assembling the engine. We begin by carefully attaching the oil pan using a 1-piece MALEH gasket and follow the precise torque sequence to ensure a leak-free seal.
Next, we move on to installing the intake manifold, applying Permatex shellac to secure the gaskets and prevent any issues down the road. To make our work easier, we place the engine on a floor stand, setting the stage for the final assembly.
Join us in this relaxing, methodical process as we inch closer to the moment we fire up the engine in our next video. Enjoy the calming visuals and detailed steps of our engine-building adventure!

Awesome watching this. Did you start with a kit or is it all original stuff?

[@calirod]

Thanks man! It’s all repop stuff 😅 feel like I have to pave my way to an all original build through a component build.

[@rodneybracken4860]

@@calirod just went back and watched all your build. Awesome. Looking to build a 32 5 window. Like your approach of one piece at a time. Very informative and inspiring.

[@calirod]
