Got everything all pressure washed and ready for new powerplant. Adding some support to the steering rack support. Noticed a little flexing and didnt like what I saw. Not sure if you can see it but its on the drivers side on the crossmember. With being on vacation this week planning on having it running minus the drive shaft mods.

Day two of vacation. Got steering rack support the way i like it. No flex at all. Motor is in and need to put a tranny cooler in so I found my old circle track oil cooler that i think will work just fine. Need to reduce a 6AN to a 10AN fititng or tig the cooler to fit. I am so looking forward to being able to drive this and not try and tame a lion at the same time. 500 hp out with a 375hp with a neal racing power glide tranny.
