I got the wiring almost completed today. Replaced the motor mount I broke. Wired the starter. Added a bolt I was missing to the bellhousing and pulled one that was too long out to measure. I accomplished a lot today.
I also scored an exhaust system for $50. I had it bent for a car I wrecked long ago. It was old enough the glasspacks burnt out of it. But new enough the guy who bought the car heated the connections and it came apart. It's 2&1/4" and had glasspacks on it, but it sounded pretty good behind a 383 that had an almost identical cam in it.
Progress. I might make it yet.
