Had a big delivery the other day. Thanks to Doc and Btard for all there help in selecting the right parts for the 440. Edelbrock performer manifold and a Comp cams, Cam, lifter and timing set.

I also received the seat belt I ordered from OEM Seatbelts, U.S. company that build seat belts for the big three. Good Price, great quality. I don't legally have to have seat belts in the car but the wife says I do and it keeps the LEO's happy. I got them installed using 1/4 x 4 steel plate welded into the lower door frames and 2x2 square tubing welded into the door and roof frame at the top.

I also got the chop done on the windshield frame and did a heat and hammer adjustment on the top of the drivers side A pillar.

And a video link. https://youtu.be/QgJcy2Avvl0

Good job on the A pillar.
I really like the Edelbrock Airgap intakes. They're a great all around intake.

Great progress
Nothing wrong with some personal protection.
I’ve told this story before...
The guy that bought my old daily driver ( modified 1950 GMC panel truck) hit a suburban with it and did a header into a power pole. He said the only thing that saved him was the seatbelt/ shoulder harness system that was installed during the build.

Thanks OI, I have read good things about them.

Thanks Torchie, I agree on the personal protection.

I did a compression test on the 440 yesterday prior to tear down. The plugs were extremely fowled with carbon, not surprising the carb is buggered and ther was an extra 2-3 liters in the pan when I changed the oil. Being a low compression 1976 440 I wasn't expecting much. I think the results were pretty good, lowest was 118 highest was 125. Remember this motor hasn't run more than an hour in 8 years.

5.6% difference by my calculations. [cl

I'm thinkin' a good old-fashioned "overhaul" will do the trick...

Rings, bearings, and gasket set and it’s new again all over.

Keep plugging away at the little things. On another thread a member was asking about adding a cross member under the motor, which got me thinking about the frame on my car. I removed two cross members and replaced them with the frame work I built for the trans cross member but realized there was nothing from the trans mount to the Mustang II cross member, so I made a new cross member with a removable center section. Also got the last two body mounts made. as well as 15/8"125 wall tube across the back for frame support and a bumper. Also got a start on the exhaust system, just waiting for the mufflers to arrive.

Nice job [cl
