Time to get started.

[memike]

Don't forget to get a oil pick-up tube for that car oil pan :glasses7:

You will also need to get a 90 degree oil filter adapter, then you can still run a nice big oil filter....I might have a spare one if you can't find one.

Yes indeed Keith, It's on my need to buy list so gather it up and get back with me :coffee2:
Now !! Take the rest of the day off and go to your dad's house and give him some company and help on this great day :cheers:

I already cleared it with your superviser

My day yesterday was with out disaster I pulled Victoria up the hill, Treva (my wife of 36 years) drove Victoria up the hill while I pulled it with my 88 Ramcharger.
Unhooked the chain and off Victoria and I went down hill to the shop hitting the ramp in and all went well..:cheers:... wow! glad that is behind me :coffee2: it bounced like a wagon with the engine and trans out :blob: but she is in and ready for some fall and winter work now :color:





Some may not be a fan of my move to enjoy Victoria with a V8 but I will say I enjoyed many years and miles building the /6 the way I wanted it, just time to enjoy an automatic with some rumbling HP on the streets, High ways and the track, I can't wait :cheers:

 

[memike]

Thanks go out to our member blewbyu :color: he had an oil pan to my liking and at a great price :cheers:
Now I can move forward knowing I have some of the hard and costly parts to get moving forward on my V8 transplant :color: I am making Varooom and header kacle noises to myself

 

[memike]

Treva and I was out and about treasure hunting (getting off the hill for a while) and ran into this old Pot Belly stove :glasses7: some folks here know this will heat my 12 x 24 shop very well.


I have heat post :cheers:
