still outta work so doctor wont let me do much but I did get the gimble housing all done completely rebuilt it and painted it. got it mounted on yesterday along with motor mounts. this stuff is so time consuming spent 3 hours wire wheeling bolts and motormounts but its coming. waiting on harmonic balancer and head bolts so hopefully motor will go in not this weekend but next.

Looks great man. You did a great job painting every thing. You paint for a living or just for fun?

Found a smoking deal on a heat exchanger but I'm not sure if it's big enough. He said it came off a 3.7 but I'm thinking he meant 5.7 I want to atleast chill the block and possibly manifolds if I can. What yall think

That is a Heat Exchanger from a 3.7 liter closed cooling system motor.

got some parts and modivation

the factory alt/ pwrstr is bulky and ugly so I think im gonna get rid of it and make my own.
ground down the valve covers where the coil packs used to mount filled the in and cleaned them up some. I think im gonna make some brackets to hide them behind the heads.







just mocking up where I think there gonna sit at. im gonna use 1/4 aluminum plate
