Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
It might need a gasket or two, a rotating assembly and a few other parts, but it didn't stop me from taking a mental test drive. Trans and bell housing are on the way.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Thanks guys. Things are finally loosening up a bit with the cash flow and I sold an old trans so the time is right. I'll have pics when it shows up.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Should I just fill everything and start from scratch?

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I pretty much knew the answer before I asked. I remember a firewall thread going around a while back. I'll search it out and see if I can get some inspiration.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I thought I had a better shot. My garage is to full to get a better one. I filled most left the heater. Damn there was a lot of holes. I wonder what they were for. Love that transmission you got. Why don't you just ship it up here.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
It's costing me $160 to get it to my house. I just bought a cam, oil pan and new gas tank too. I'll be broke for a while after this, but now I have everything I need to build the engine.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Fill em all! If I had to do it again, I would cut out the raised part where the heater box was, and fill with a flat panel. It was really hard to block around that area.
on another note, where did you get those engine covers?

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I got the engine cover on ebay. I'm working on some more ideas for the firewall, so I'll keep that in mind. Many hours of blocking ahead. Thanks

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Thanks for the suggestion 65. I have actually been thinking about contouring the firewall to match the profile of the engine cover so it looks more like it came stock from the factory that way. Since there's no distributor I don't need the upper part of the recess any more, so I might come down from the top of the fire wall and square it off or put a little arch a few inches above the engine cover. That will help hide wires going back through the fire wall when I decide where to run them. I want it to be as clean as possible. Stay tuned.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Oh right LS motor...nice plan, and that will leave more room under the dash should a AirVintiques AC be in the plan. I'll be watching.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Some sort of AC is in my future since I'm planning on driving during the summer when it's a buck o five every day. I haven't figured out which one yet but it's a ways off so I have time to research it. Let me know if you see one that fits nicely. I've never heard of Air Vintiques. I'll check it out.
