What did you do today to your 3/S?

I began ripping into this thing to get some parts ready for eBay (& my R/T TT):

Looked at mine and realized how terrible it looks and that I need to get gravel for the driveway so I can get started on it.

siphoned out 15+ gallons of gas.

....i should have used a larger siphon. it took an hour and a half or so.

...why didn't you use the drain plug on the tank and drain into buckets or a gas can?

I didn't feel confident using the drain plug without making a mess; I don't have a good way to swap between cans without killing flow.

I also didn't realize there was so much gas in the car - I thought that at most it had 8-10 gallons in it. It's been a while since I've touched the thing.

That's what she said.

Also, just for giggles

Td05 vs TD04L turbine wheels.

My truck is overflowing with parts that I need to take to the machine shop tomorrow..block, rods and pistons. A spare crank to turn. Will be taking my mint crank there next week or so. And maybe even my whole spare short block.

Also need to get the new manifolds and turbine housings blasted, cleaned up and ceramic coated eventually..so need to start shopping places locally.

Hope to have my AN waterneck done before long, should be interesting.

Wasn't going to ask to buy, but to see about the cost of making another set

I was told by the maker that the cores ran a few hundred a piece; said that they cost him ~$800 to produce, IIRC. I didn't have him make them for me, he had made them for himself years ago. I got them off of him as he lives locally and was getting out of the 3S game.
