Well, the slug for the master finally came in & I'll be bleeding the brakes this morning & my nephew's gonna help me stab the motor/trans after lunch. Really looking forward to getting that done... finally!!! [cl

Got the motor back in & motor mount secured, now on to putting carb, new HEI cap/rotor/coil, alternator, etc back on, couple lil clearance issues that can be easily addressed, build the trans crossmember, hook up shifter etc. Hope to start wiring this weekend & I think my car crazy 17 yr old grandson is coming to help me & learn a lil about wiring! Onward through the fog!

I don't mind most of the wiring but not real fond of doing the gauges!

I like doing gauges, they're easy and fun to wire. It's jamming myself under the dash that I'm less excited about every year.

Finished up the tranny mount, used the ends if the original crossmember then built a tubular cradle & then put the finned valve covers on to take a look! Closer still!!!

How does the alternator clear the thermostat housing?
