Richard Petty '72 Tribute Car: Final Thrash Before Track Day..Will We Make It? (Bonus DW Story Time)

What happens here

With the old engine removed, the replacement engine is placed on a stand for preparation. Components such as the fuel pump and motor mounts are transferred from the old engine to the new one. The valvetrain on the new engine is visually inspected, and the engine is primed by spinning the oil pump with a drill to ensure proper lubrication before installation.

Goal: Transfer necessary components and prepare the replacement engine for installation.

Tools and materials

  • Engine Stand — Holding the engine during preparation
  • Power Drill — Priming the oil pump
  • Wrenches/Sockets — Removing and installing components
