[QUOTE="josephcostello, post: 16680317, member: 165586"] Finishing up my summer job, I came home and began getting started. First step was to redo the shop I would build the car in. Once it was completed, I rolled the donor car inside to get it ready. [ATTACH type="full"]1723812[/ATTACH] A compression test gave me mixed results [ATTACH type="full"]1723813[/ATTACH] Thankfully the two closest to the firewall were strong but the two low numbers on the driver side scared me. I’ll be performing a leak down when the engines on a stand - but for now I’m leaning towards ARP studs & gaskets anyways and having the heads looked at. Teardown was next. I won’t be needing the bumper, hood, seats or mirrors so those are up for sale. I'm dropping the drivetrain out the bottom and in the next three-four days the car will be mostly stripped.

The engine is about ready to drop.
