OK, so we are sealing up the 4.3, got the new intake on, figured out the propane mixer/quadrajet throttle plate set up, so the engine may be in sometime soon.... got the wheel cylinders replaced and brake master cylinder removed, ready for replacement and bleeding...
Ordered up a budbuilt crossmember/skid for the auto/single case.... screaming deal

so I would recommend patronage to Bud as he now carries and can deliver cheaper/faster all his stuff as well as Marlin and Advanced Adapters stuff so...... budbuilt.com for all your needs and he's in N. Carolina
so, other than the mini on the back burner for tubework until John/Dom get the sami/toy buggy finished...... progress is slow but sure
