I'm taking an engine rebuilding class, and I snapped some pics. I thought they might be of interest.

It's not a Mazda engine, which is why I posted in off-topic. It is a GM 3800, which is found in many Buicks and Pontiacs.

Nice.

What school do you attend?

 

Fun isn't it

I did the same thing when I did a co-op at a GM engine plant, built a 5.3L V8 from the bottom up.

 

We did a 350 LT1 as a project in my class. Wasn't a lot of fun putting it together but when we got it back in the donor Caprice .

 

Cool project. However, does it run? Good job.

 

No, it doesn't run. It is strictly a lab engine to be torn apart and rebuilt by students.

This class is through Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland (www.tri-c.edu). They've got a pretty good automotive program.
