Here it is, the car is ready for the engine, which is only lacking the fan belts. I am off to the FLAPS to get me some belts. I should have it in at least today. This is for everyone who thinks I am not doing anything on my car and it will never be running. Next week guys, once the exhaust is done, its going to run. Before the 4th. bwahahahah.

I have not stuffed it in just yet, a fast car is only as good as its brakes I was always told so I was trying to resolve the other issues with everything else first. The engine is ready to go in, I just need to cut that little section out you mentioned before to clear the distributor and then get the car up about 8 more inches and slide it underneath. Then I assume I just lower the car down on top of it and then lift it with the cherry picker into place. Is this right? Or is there another way to do it? Let me know as I am going to try to do it tomorrow or Friday. I have to work on Thursday up in LA so I cant do it then. Tomorrow night I am taking my son to a Dodger game so I can only work on it till around 2. So it will most likely be on Friday and then it goes to the muffler shop. Which means I will be firing it up this weekend. Film at 11. Yes, I will be filming it when I fire it up the first time so you all can hear it either blow up, or run like I am hoping it does. So keep watching this thread, you may get to see me crash and burn. I have faith though that I did everything right, I had some good help and advice from many club members so this is kind of a joint project here.
And in case I never told anyone this, Thank you to everyone who has contributed to my goal to build this car the way I want. I dont know if I could have done it without all of your help and advice and even some contributions from some of the members here. |
