This is where things get slow going. The process of putting a TPI motor back in a third-gen is fairly time-consuming if you want to get things right. Much of the work centered around cleaning 13 years of grime from the accessories, brackets, wiring harnesses and fuel lines. Since the motor looked spanking new, we were pretty much obligated to repaint all the pulleys, brackets and accessories where ever they were visible. We even ordered a new washer bottle and coolant overflow reservoir to complete the makeover. You'll notice that Strope took some photos before the original motor was removed (the small photo album on the radiator support). These helped the Strope crew route all the harnesses and hoses in the right place.
