You're not wasting any time, are you.....I don't know why some photos are sideways, I'll try to fix them.

No Jim we don't waste any time. when it's go time, it's go time! thanks for trying to figure out the pictures problem

If you haven't already advertise all those parts while they are fresh and have no rust on the internals. Craigslist is a good place since your buyers will be those keeping their old Detroit's running.

I've listed them everywhere. but no real takers for the whole engines. so now I'm selling the accessories and sending the block and heads to the recycling scraper

Don and I have all of the same parts as well. I have sold a few to members here but I've not actively advertised them. Someday, someone will want them.

Great thread. I have contemplated a repower of my boat. I admire you and your son getting in there and getting your hands dirty. You guys will learn so much. I noticed in the picture your son is wearing gloves and you were not. Part or what I did was excavation and i have worked with quite a few young men. It is funny to me that it seems like all of the young men work with gloves on. Whereas the old guys (myself) don’t care for wearing them unless it is cold.

I have noticed this also.
I just assumed the young kids were trying to be different or fancy.
OR, really scared to get their hands dirty,,, Go figure..

I have tried to wear these mechanics gloves. Drove me crazy after a few minutes.
You know it is serious work when I put on gloves for epoxy work.

I spent forty years wearing gloves at work. I actually find it easier to work with gloves on.

Knowing Mario’s boys, I doubt they re afraid to get their hands dirty
