will keep this thing going as I can and as time lets me work on it..plan to order the header kit real soon.. 2.5 into 2.75.. will take some time to build them as there are some tight places,but I am up to it I hope..:burnout:

oh pics I didn't show are the brakes all safety wire.. I have learned a lot doing this..
 
thanks man I only have a few more days home and its back out of town to work..lol gotta bust my butt while I am here if I plan to have this thing moving on its own power by march...

trying to fig. out what master cylinder to get now so I can run the lines and fitting for the brakes..also looking at the kits for the headers so I can get that on the way home to start building them...gonna put the trans mount in tom. and all new bolts in the motor plate and mid plat as well ...went out and pick them up today..didn't like the look of the old rusty bolts..lolgotta order 2 grease seals for my front brakes..(damn parts store onlu stock new car sh-t now days)but no big deal hell the shipping is going to cost just as much as the 2 seals 5.00 a pcs...went to wal mart got me a dry eraser board to write down the things that need to be done and check them off as I go..i think the hardest part is to come mounting the front clip and doors..:prayer:

Hey Mike don't feel bad, it aint been long since I got your old 340 running finally.... It really seems to like the W2 topend, should be testing and tuning in 2 weeks.....
 
Let me know how it runs..should be a beast with the w2s on it....ran very good with the js ...needed more chassis tune could have been faster...
 
:D






just thought I would share some update pics of the old chassis car as she sit today
