Just for fun lets compare engine bays to a 1996 with 150,000 miles. Seems a lot more busy in the 96.
Still looks great with 150k! I hope mine will stay that clean!

I eventually want to get it lifted but for now I'm keeping it stock until the spring time.

Just a quick update on the progress.

I had to get some work done to it to get it up and running well.

Biggest thing is the head gasket was cracked in cylinder 1 (I think because it sat and possibly dry rotted?) and needed to be replaced and also I got the head checked for cracked and if it was warped.

No cracks, thank god but I did have it milled.

Other things that I am getting new on it are a new radiator and radiator hoses, water pump, thermostat, spark plugs, coolant flush and oil filter and change.

So far everything is in good condition but eventually in the spring time I want to lift it about 3" and possibly get bigger tires.
