More updates

Since Trent came by I figured I better get some more progress... 10 days and counting. Here is the firewall prep start to finish. It has a new Master cylinder and clutch res. Everything else is the old stuff.

The engine assy

Here is the engine combo together and getting it ready to start going in. After a small delay of not having the long transfer bolts for assy. I got it together though.

Last couple of the engine in it's new resting place...

And one of Trent pretending to know what that screwdriver is for...And thanks Cassie for letting him come out and play for a little bit.

Hey guys,

Randy, sorry about the TC bolts. Trent, got your pics via cell phone, but I could not make them out too good. Eye doc has been on my case to wear glasses for last 3 years.

Man the ghost is looking awesome!!! This will be a great Christmas/New Years.

Progress Report

OK guys here is the progress for tonight. Got the new FIS harness installed and the motor mounts are in. Here is the clearance I wind up with and the mounts in relation to the frame. This will not work on the auto tranny setup since it sits slightly more forward.

 

[iaintscared1969]

a couple more

Here is the front shaft clearance and the harness going in...

Why oh why must you torture me with these images of a V8 in a Cruiser ? Me stuck with my old 6 ?

 

[iaintscared1969]

The temptation of the V-8 is strong...Come to the dark side

 

[Rigger]

It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when.

I like that Vortec with the automatic behind it - the one you did a few months back.

That is SHUH-WEET!

anything with a vortec would be sweet,specially if iaintscared did all the custom work. john

 

[iaintscared1969]

No worries Rigger...The refund season is coming And as for the torture of watching all the vortec fun...I am waiting on someone to bring me a pig to do!

And Vipergrhd...Thanks I am glad you are enjoying the threads so is yours next? Maybe an LS series install??? See if I can give your muscle cars a run for their money!!

 

[iaintscared1969]

The FPR and fuel lines are being run and the fuel tank is back in after being hot tanked. Just a couple quick shots while I get back at it.

 

[mmw68]

Randy, is that a filter to the left side of the FPR? I forgot to order a filter for my set up, I know your using the MSD fuel pumps, what fuel filters are you using?

 

[iaintscared1969]

Yes that is a fuel filter and it is a billet in line with replaceable elements rated for 100 psi. I can shoot you the #. In a bit.
