As new parts I have ordered are coming in, I am beginning to prepare the new engine to put it back together. Since I glass bead cleaned the oil pan, it was ready to be painted. I sprayed on three coats of primer, then I sprayed on two coats of Chrysler Corporation Blue paint. I cleaned and put the lifter spider back on the new engine to hold everything in place when I turned the engine over to work on the bottom of it. While I was turning it over, soybeans started to fall out so I had to blow out the engine to be sure it was fully clean. I made sure the parts I ordered such as the oil pump and the oil pan gasket fit, but I did not actually put them on the new engine yet. I also cleaned the windage tray so it was ready to be put back on the new engine. Not only did I order parts for the engine, but I also ordered new carpet for the inside of the car. I removed the seats and trim of the inside of the car so I could take out the old carpet. Next I fitted the new carpet to make sure it would fit before I installed it in the car.

I had to take apart the new engine so I could clean it and check it over before I put it back together and into the car. I will also be putting new parts on it when I put it back together. I removed the intake manifold, lifter spider, and cylinder heads from the engine. I found a mouse nest so I had to make sure I thoroughly cleaned the engine out. I also had to scrape the carbon off of the piston tops of the engine. This cleaning will help ensure that the car will run smoothly later on.
