Project Andy-Rice - EmJay - 09-07-2013

I mentioned in another thread that I had a 2.3-16, so I thought that I would share it. For now the plan is to bring it back to it's glory. It was very rough when I first got it, the only thing good about it really was the motor was strong and the body was straight.

G*d I don't remember what all else I've done to this thing, but it's been a lot. I drive it daily now for my job search. Still to do is to replace the vacuum seals around the injectors, #2 is leaking pretty bad and the idle surges +\- 300 rpms, probably from when I replaced the injectors to fix hesitation.

If s*it were to hit the fan on this project, and I were in need of a new motor, then I'd highly consider dropping in a 602 and mate it to my 5spd getrag.
