Nice car. Glad you decided to keep it and good luck with it! I have a 74 myself that has been off the road since around 2016 or so. Keeping it a running driving project is my only advice lol

The Natural! One of my all time favorite movies. Remember watching it many times with my mom in what feels like a lifetime ago!

I will remove the back cover off the alternator as soon as I can. Thanks for your help.

Did you wind up running a carb on any of them ? Any advice from your experience ? Thanks

Thanks. Any advice for the charging system ? I have a 2014 alternator so PWM. Not crazy about using the original wiring from 1974.

On your Eagle with the 6.4 cam what did you do about the VVT ? Did you have to lock out the phaser or just leave solenoid unplugged ?

What are you running for a regulator ?

New front wheels came in. I mounted the new tires at work. Installed new front rotors and put the wheels on. Finally took the car off the wheel cribs and jackstands. First time the car was back on four wheels in over three years! We were ecstatic! Knocked out a good bit of work pretty quick. My...

Got the upper control arms attached. New front shocks mounted and backing plates and caliper mount brackets cleaned painted and installed. My youngest son was there to lend a hand also.

Before I put the K-frame back in I wanted to clean and paint the part of the inner fenders where the upper control arms mount and the bottom of the frame rails where the frame bolts to. Reason being I wanted to make it a roller so I can push it outside to finish prepping and painting the engine...

Big difference from what we removed lol.

Engine mount progress. Before and after powder coat and suspension assembly. Thanks to my wife and son for dropping off and picking up the K/frame from powder coat while I was at work!

Yes has been way too long since I posted any progress on here. Thanks for asking! Going to go back in time and pickup where I left off. I built a pair of wheel cribs out of 2x4 so I could get the car up high enough for me to work comfortably under. Needed to keep the rear suspension under load...

Yes VVT block. Absolutely on the timing set. I want to run the Mach1 cam also but kind of curious about the 6.4 cam. Maybe try it first and then see how much difference the blackbird cam makes. Not sure yet. Now would be be the time to change to cam since engine is out of the car.

That will be awesome! My 5.7 isn’t even running yet and I’m already thinking and keeping an eye out for a 6.4 to build !
