Gotta love chipmunks...

They can really give your engine some nuts!

The little bastid about took me out, when I lifted the cover off of the storage box too! Missed me by inches.

Much better now...

Not bad for sitting in a box in the woods since late September 1998.

Same thing happened with me and the motor I bought for my NYG. Had a bunch of nuts down in the 1st cylinder spark plug tube. Took me hours to get them out to get the plug out.

The car is owning me more than those chipmunks. What is pictured is the good part. Just had to put a new fuel tank in, as the straps were paper thin. Removed the strap bolt, and it took about a 3/8" hole out of the tank bottom as it fell to the floor. My ass was scrambling finding containers to catch 3/4 tank of gas. The tank didn't have any rot, except under the straps, and apparently those were holding it in place. I also ended up replacing the fuel lines from the just before the axle back. Not really sure how the feed line was holding 48 psi.

The car really isn't worth the effort, but meh, at least my engine is getting some use. It wasn't benefiting anyone but the squirrels and chipmunks. The original 3.0 was getting to Seafoam smoke output, without the Seafoam.

not a chipmunks work but it reminded me of this thread

found this yesterday when i took my old engine out of the 1gn, apparently some mice made a home inside my timing cover since the top was open from the head being off. Imagine the smell this wouldve made if it started...
