well plugging away just got to bring my camera with me next week, if my tails are done in two weeks I will be in the water then. Ifigure this week and next all should be done but its up to the exhaust guy. we put 4 motor mounts in plus the 2 tranny mounts so Ijust hope I get the old holes filled right later art

Its good to see yours moving ahead !! I just finished up the first cleaning on an oil adapter.. Gathering up mounting hardware & last minuet hardware before setting mine in the hole..

I had most everything I needed to go ahead & drop it in, but since I upgraded a bit on some gooidies I'm gonna do just a bit more cleaning up in the next few days.. Got give these a good rinse in the parts washer before installing.. D

Going to Eddie's shop always makes me feel like a kid again on Christmas morning !!

(crappy cell pic but it will work for now)

Crappy cell shot again, but Installed.. I will be pulling the plug on the Rt. side for another -12 (just didn't want to leave it open)

Upgraded to a pro billet msd.. Finished cleaning plug wires & of course they are not routed.. The exhaust will be coming back off for a 15 min gasket treatment, as as they are just mocked up for now as is the carb. in the background..

I'm a couple days behind on posting progress.. I have the KE oil thermo cleaned up a bit & mounted up on the block.. along with the oil adapter, All the oil galley's are sealed up, along with all the water jackets.. front mount is back on.. Engine is back at the shop on a roll around dolly with the lift plate attached ready to rock in the hole !! I've been spending some time today on the oil cooler as It will prob. be the first thing rigged up after dropping the motor.. It has a monster 4"x15" core so I think it will do the job..

One day I will actually do a halfway organized thread of this whore from birth to resurrection...

Here's a few shots in no particular order of whats been done at here at home in the past couple days... Oil cooler is going back together tonight, along with cleaning the stringer mounts up a bit...

Plug wires are also all routed up how they ought to be now..

Oil cooler back together & ready to plug off a couple ports & then figure exactly where I want to mount it up..

That's a nice setup...motor is looking nice!

Only two items checked off your check list though.....you better get your azz moving

You know how I roll brotha.. Low & Slow

Engine is sitting in the hole, alignment is done & mounts are fabbed & bolted up nice & solid..

It still has a way to go, but I gotta say it feels good to see the engine bay filling up..
