Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Too many errands today to get much done, but I did assemble the last hose to connect the fuel tank to the hard line. After reading more about push-lock hose and fittings, I decided against using it in the EFI system. I may be overly cautious but decided to go with steel braided line rated for fuel. I liked the look of the braided black nylon covering, so popped for 10' along with some black fittings. Getting the nylon covering to go into the fitting nut turns out to be a PITA as it wants to bunch up when you attempt to push the hose in to the necessary depth.
The solution is to use a short length of Scotch tape and make a couple of tight wraps on the very end of the hose after cutting it square with a thin kerf Dremel cutoff wheel. I prefer to use dishwashing liquid instead of WD-40 or oil when assembling rubber hose. Makes it much easier to make up the parts, IMO. Hope to stab the engine and trans tomorrow. I picked up a cheap digital inclinometer off eBay and will see how far off my driveline angles are.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Some shots of the engine going in and the Style Track accessory drive. To make the CPP pedestals and slider mounts work, I had to remove the spacers that were supposed to go under the motor mounts. Also ended up putting the mounts in upside down relative to how I had them initially. This finally gave me enough room to get the bolts thru everything. I have the engine set forward as far as it will go at the moment, but will slide it back as far as practical when I get the cab set back in place.

Everything is so new and shiny.
Every time I see it I have to remind myself that it is a daily driver and not a show truck. Impressive Vic. |

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Did you mill the script into the strips?? Don't know if you have an NC mill? Nice to have connections for favors too! Color looks great.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
your exhaust tucks in nicely right there by the frame. Shaping up to be totally beautiful.

One of the key reasons for doing this was get additional distance between the manifolds and the lines and wiring running along the frame. I may still need to add some shielding, but it's much better now.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Thanks everyone. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I've mostly been doing exhaust work recently, nothing exciting. Spot faced the manifolds and welded out all the V-band joints. It's complete except for the high temp coating. I got a quote from Jet Hot for $830 plus shipping for the entire system from manifolds to exhaust tips. Thought I might run down to Crosslink over in KS and see what they estimate for their silver Cerakote. I may end up using BBQ paint. I thought they left the O2 bungs out of the C&C kit, but after ordering some replacements on eBay, of course I found them buried down in one of the boxes. I welded in four bungs, two for the computer and two more for the AEM A/F gauges I planned to use for the original Gen I SBC. My dash is already modified for them, so might as well proceed. Next up is to do one last fitment of all the body parts before moving the chassis to the upstairs garage and getting busy with bodywork. Also rec'd the one piece windows from Brothers this week and will need to install them. Stay tuned.
