Re: PO has me PO'd
Working my way to the rear...needs some modification.At the t/c it seems to angle down to far, Mieneke said he could bend it up about 1 1/2", this should bring it to the point that it runs level to the frame. Clamps might arrive from NAPA today. SS preformed strap clamps
Gotta go check out some 50 series flows, and clean up all that crap on the crossmember to see how I want to mount them up Still have to design and build my 'H' pipe, looking at the location where I want it, it might have to be built out of 2"

Re: PO has me PO'd
Started to put the front of the motor back together. Knocked the tube out of the drivers side manifold, drilled and tapped for plug(11/32" drill, 1/8"-27 nfpt tap). BTW, I didn't tap it with the manifold on the engine
I have to rotate 1/2 of the alternater housing to get the plugs for the wiring to align to the outside and build another 'L' bracket to clear the fan blade. Getting ready to start on the drivers side exhaust pipe, then it's time to hang the core support to get the radiator and battery in it...also want to prime and spin the oil pump to see how things work Finally got the pass. side door to line up better, just alittle more tweeking once the fenders are on. Thanks Rockrln, for mentioning that in another thread

Re: PO has me PO'd
Started to work on the rad. support, found out it was hit on the right front. So a little hammer and dolly work got some of it out, where the lines are in the pic needs more, but it is right behind an uprite brace. Some creativity involved... Lower area pushed back about about 2". Of course the lower battery area needs to be replaced...
Got the power steering hooked up, and finally got the correct clamps from NAPA (SS #33226) Exhaust seems tight, may have to delete intermediate bracket, I'll decide after I get the CC hooked up to a clamp. Here's some pics

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thank you, just got a dbl row pulley for the PS, so I can play with that.
