It's finally happening. Bugsy IV is getting his new engine and tranny installed by my buddy and fellow BE & Mini Owner Tim Bosse. I'm in the process of getting a house ready to go on the market in 3 weeks and decision was although I'd rather do this all by myself, showing a house with an immobile Spridget in the garage is probably not the best plan for a quick sale. Anyway a few pics of the process.
1) Engine now painted Healey Green instead of MG Colors. This is my rebuilt 1,326, Street Cam, Mild Porting, new damper pulley, LCB, Gerard's Rear Seal Kit and 5 Speed Kit with W Short Shift Kit, Aluminum Radiator, Revotec In Line Electric Fan Controller new Wiring Harness, Gear Reduction Starter, Alternator in a Generator Case from BPNW.
2) New Engine Back Plate Installed
3) Bugsy's 948 ready to come out. I knew this was a hot little 948 with a Cooper S Head on it, Cam, and HS-2's, but after header was removed you could really see how the Exhaust Ports were hogged out. Yes this one had been breathed on. Lew McCallan in Chicago is getting this engine for one of his BE's going to Elkhart Lake. Top the oil up and this engine will run just fine.
4) New engine with Rear Seal Kit, Clutch and Pressure Plate installed
5) Bugsy's old engine out and ready to go to a new home. I'll be over to help with Pressure Washing the engine compartment and the tranny tunnel, there is a bit of oil back there.
