Also ordered my Porterbuilt Hood Hinges today from Travis at AZProPerformance. He is a board vendor on here and has been great to deal with. They were having a 5% off sale on the hinges thru the end of May.

Swapped the 700r4 out today for my new th400. I think that will take the abuse of the Big Block much better than the 700r4. Forgot to take pictures. Also met with boardmember Dario1 today. He came all the way down from Maine to NJ to buy the 350 sbc, headers and motor mounts I had forsale. It was great meeting him, very nice guy.

Thanks Adam, going to get back at it this weekend after taking last weekend off.

Bennett68C10 · 06-19-2012, 07:07 AM

Well this past saturday I wrapped up my th400 install, installed my TCI Aluminum Deep Transmission Pan, put in my Dipstick, torqued down my torque converter, installed my aluminum flexplate cover and put on my new air cleaner.

What headers are you using? Also, what motor mounts did you use. I apologize if it is somewhere in this post, I didn't read it all.

Bennett68C10 · 06-19-2012, 07:09 AM

This weekend I have to take my front bags back out. I have some nasty airleaks I need to fix. Fun Fun Fun

mcbassin · 06-19-2012, 07:58 AM

Very nice progress! Sucks about the leaks, bet you'll get them fixed quick.

Yeah I have to take the bags back out, take the fittings out and put Loctite pneumatic thread sealer on them and then re-cut the airlines to make sure they are perfectly straight. I bought a air-line cutter from Ride-tech for like $10.00. Guess this is what happens when you rush lol.

**67cheby** · 06-19-2012, 10:00 AM

oh man....that looks SEXY !
