Re: My neglected 72
If I end up having to move the towers in more I’ll have to switch to hydro boost to get more clearance in board. There’s worst things than hydroboost, but the vacuum booster has done just fine with this engine and I figure why tax the power steering system even more. On the passenger side I was only able to get the clearance by removing the factory heater box. I’ll be running vintage air that has a flush mount on the firewall

Re: My neglected 72
Looking good! Plan to have all my structural finish welding done by a professional myself. Been waiting on a couple of small parts so I can move forward. Did you get the shocks and springs through ORD? Curious what spring rate was decided on. At this time I have 250lb over 250lb for an initial 125lb spring rate. IDK, the rate seems to light even with my aluminum block.

Re: My neglected 72
I got the transfer case heaved up on to the work bench. Began disassembling so I can get it off to the machine shop. I already have the 203 range box I’ll be using torn down. I’m going to have the machine shop drill the face of the 203 so it can be mounted to the nv4500. I am also having them bore out the input shaft bearing hole on the case so I can run the stronger 32 spline input. I’ll be installing ORD modified shift rails and triple stick shifter.
