Hey gang,

I'm starting to convert the lowrider to a RAT powered weekend cruizer. Weekend before last, I pulled the motor:

You'll notice the hacked up wheel wells, I'll be replacing them this winter too.

Everything came out pretty clean:

I had only one issue, a stripped flywheel bolt:

But, the plasma cutter works wonders!

After stripping the motor down, a scrape here and there:

Some new parts and a little paint, and Presto:

A nice TBI to Carb conversion for my daughters '78 Camaro I'm rebuilding.

The RAT motor is in Louisville being massaged. It should be here soon. To Be Continued...
