The new motor

[ilikerice]

I spent the next month researching while im searching on craigslist and ebay and forums for another block..

Finally found one early May that was about 3 hours south from where i lived. good price, 175 for a long block.. just disassembled, but no biggie..

As soon as i got it back home, called up the Machine shop and said "i got something for you".

He inspected and cleaned everything up and polished the crank and made sure i could use all stock components still. Threw it in the yaris, Got it home 2 weeks ago, and ordered a full rering kit and gasket/seals kit.

got it on the stand and was ready to start

so while i waited on some more parts I decided last weekend to paint the block. so i taped it up and since my girlfriend loves orange, i went and got a high timp dupli color burnt orange can and went to town..

final results.

That orange looks really good! I like it. Would be really out of place on my own car, but if I was doing a different color theme I would be all over it. Keep up the good work man!
