Not what you expect when pulling a intake
So me and Rob-WS6 started to pull apart the motor from the 96 parts car we got a couple years ago. This engine ran great, and we never touched it until now.
Pulled the intake and these was a surprise inside......
ready?

a rag that apparently someone forgot to remove when setting the intake.

motor is already stripped to the shortblock (which I am keeping). The heads w/ valvetrain, intake, ecm + wiring, timing cover with opti, (great for a vented conversion) are all up for sale.
