Work Begins Anew

The Gremlin has a working engine in it right now (I know, right?), so what's the first thing we're doing?  Tear it apart!


 
Yup, that engine is missing a water pump....and some various other things.  The engine transplanted from the Eagle is relatively the same engine we tore out, but is somewhat more complicatedly assembled.  Brackets and belts and compressors...Oh my!  We're devolving the engine to mid 70's tech by taking off the myrad of belts, emission control, and "computer controlled" carb.  There is some modification needed to bolt on the old, simple alternator bracket versus the huge complicated hunk of aluminum I removed.  Seriously, the alternator was run off of the A/C compressor.  Screw that.
