A Frame Off Restoration

Pulled Drive Train

object000_1
The engine is our first target for restoration. It is not the original engine, it’s an L-134 “Go Devil”. It is in excellent running order so we will use it for the first build, then the plan is to swap it our for an F-34 Hurricane.
The only thing we will need to do to the L-134 is fix two broken manifold studs, one on the exhaust manifold and one on the block and add a mechanical fuel pump. The yellow paint was removed in preparation for painting the engine in beautiful Military OD.

Phase II - Restore

We will use this Blog to document our adventure through the process of the three R's, Repair, Restore, or Replace the parts.
Feel free to add your
comments, advise, or encouragements as we progress through the steps to a full restoration.
