350 Ramjet Engine arrived

[56hotrodred]

Well my plan is slowly coming together and immediately upon my arrival back to the snowy north country I ordered my 350 Ramjet. The dealer said initially it would take a week or longer to get one into the Lethbridge location but they found one in Alberta and it arrived overnight. So in between snow events I had to run in and pick it up!

I have attached one picture that shows it just unwrapped, not at all unlike a late Christmas present to myself, with the water pump already removed and some old spark plugs installed in advance of me painting it Chevy Orange!

I have a complete Vintage Air Front Runner system to instal but will wait until the engine is set into the frame.

The 700R4 transmission is being built as we speak and should be ready late next week. Also going to be painted Chevy Orange!

I have the body still on the frame because I want to load it up on a trailer and take it into a couple of body shops for a cost estimate on getting it painted. Once I have that I will take the body off frame and get the cab into whichever body shop gets the job. They will then paint firewall and inside of cab so I can then put cab back on for final time!!!

Many more pictures to come I am sure!
