5.9 FI Magnum swap in 73 swinger
Some more pics!
Got the new K-frame in yesterday so now I'm just waiting on the LCA's to come in so I can re-assemble the front suspension. The motor is now completely painted including accessories. But as you can see, thanks to not paying attention, i dropped the power steering pump and busted the plastic pulley. The auto parts stores keep them in stock so sounds like this may be a common issue.
I also removed the old oil pan and pickup and installed the 360 car pan and pickup. I used the 4 piece gasket set, and all seemed to go fairly well, I did use a lil RTV in the corners where all the gaskets meet up. For $50 bucks that pan is a really nice piece.
Today, when i warms up a lil, I'll be pulling out the trans and seeing if all the factory kick down/throttle pressure linkage is going to bolt up and possibly modifying the flex plate to line up to the 904 converter. I'll keep ya'll posted!
