Looks good!

I hope you are using thick enough material for the fire wall so when you remount the brake booster if it's going back on the fire wall you won't push it off if and when a panic brake is necessary.

Keep up the good work.

Oh yeah i have a TCI tranny in my truck and it SUX! AND LEAKS.

I highly recommend selling it and going with some other brand i had another one built by a local shop in Fla. called 4th gear he used a K case and built it to support a 600+ HP big block if i ever go that route.

As soon as i have the time that TCI junk is coming out and the new one is going in.

You know that is not the first time I heard that about TCI. So it maybe true, but I have one in my Impala works like a champ. I hope this one will work for me other wise I will yank it out and have one custom built.

Re: Progress Pics

Man thatīs some nice work!
I love the look of the march serpentine setup and the valve covers and aircleaner!
Is that a standard powersteeringpump in that march housing or does it take a special one?
What are the costs of that setup?

Re: Progress Pics

Here are some more progress pics. The dash is out of a 61 Chevy. I had to cut it down the middle and add about 2.5"
