Poor mans Hemi car. (M-body)
I got a manuel steering box from Joel on FBBO and a steering shaft from Flaming River. still a pretty tight fit, may have to modify the shaft a little more.I got one motor mount done and now the engine is in its final position. Will finish the other mount later when I pull the engine again(hopefully for the last time). Things to do when I pull the engine again: engine and trans dipstick tubes, drill hole in oil pan and weld in pipe for oil fill and breather,cut out inner fender on pass. side for exhaust manifold, repaint engine, and so on and so on.With the wire covers on the valvecover I can't fit in my heater fan, wish I would have known that before I had them chromed. For now I will remove the heater fan and later on I will have another set of valve covers chromed with the wire covers removed.Still got a long list of things to do but slowly getting things done. "If it was easy, it wouldn't be cool!"
