Finally getting back at it!
I have not been on much since April 18. I went in for a routine surgery, had complications and almost didn't make it thru. I was in the hospital for a month, then a bunch of physical therapy, I am now almost fully recovered.
So I was able to get started on the engine swap in my 71. Here are a few pics. It is a 383 EFI dynoed at 416 HP and 451 Ft Lb torque. There is also a 700r4 under there. Still got a ways to go but it feels good to finally get started!

Getting everything buttoned up!
Got it started this week. Now in the process of getting it buttoned up. Cleaning up the wiring and such. Runs really good. Just gotta get the driveshaft in. Had to get it shortened 3 in.
