It's that time, what did you get done this weekend.

I did a V8 conversion on my beater truck. Out with the 292 and in with a warm 350. It was a full days work.

I also built a real neat auto trans cooler module for in front of the radiator. My radiator had a bad cooler, so I just bought an external one and made a mounting arrangement for it out of steel.

I had to build an automatic trans shift linkage for the swap too. I used parts off some old Pontiac boat. It actually turned out much nicer than a stock 67-72 linkage is, so I'm happy.

Tomorrow, I start building the exhaust for the V8 swap.

Decatur swap meet is in less than 2 weeks, so I'm really pushing to get it done.

Also tomorrow, my wife goes to war with the hags at the licensing office to get my antique plates approved and registered.
