and moving right along.....

Yeah right HA! I've never taken so long to morph something and be so unenthused about it!

the 434 is sitting in place, motor plate built and fitted, the TH400 in place but need to fab and add new tabs to the frame for the rear X-member. Ripped the ProStick out and have the old Mallory ignition box out of the interior. Started gutting the electrical to re-wire with a ARC touch panel,,, need to re-plumb the fuel system with new return style regulator, and step it all up to an-8... need to plumb and mount a trans cooler (old was just 2 flow through pancakes, new is a Derale w/ a built in fan,,, but that's all the easy stuff.
So far, looking good..


Have the Headman Hussler weld-up kit and adapter flanges to build the 1-7/8" headers. THIS is going to be a challenge!!! Even with dumping the side motor mounts in favor of a front motor plate there is still not a lot of room to fish 4 big tubes down through there....


Passengers side appears offers a touch more room because I had trimmed the frame for the old SuperComps. But once the starter is on it is going to be just as tight as the drivers side.



Oh well, that's progress so far!
What is it we always say???

If it were easy.........

I just did my taxes and reviewed my SS statement. Thanks to the current administration it looks like I will only have to work till noon on the day of my funeral.
