Drove 19 hours yesterday to pick up my rebuilt engine. While it was away, I refinished the interior and replaced the vinyl with leather and stripped and painted everything under the bonnet. This is a thing of beauty  Full rebuild done by the folk's at Macy's Garage in Ohio. Everything cleaned out and reconditioned or replaced. Also converted to lead-free valve seats and 87mm liners.

Am I right in thinking that is a TR engine for a Plus 4? It would be nice to see some pictures of the engine compartment before and after the motor goes in.

haha, unfortunately the shop thought I had the flywheel (I left it there) so at the moment I am flywheel-less. Just one stupid round hunk of metal holding me back from dropping it in.
