got the 340 on a stand now, and am going through it. plasti-gauge checking the mains and rods, for clearances. will use the pan from the shelby, with a new oil pump and pickup. thinking i'm going to remove the fuel pump and block it off, and just run the electric with a regulator and bypass back into the tank. going to run rollers and new springs and cam. going to get it all sorted with a quick fuel 600 slayer, and a six pack setup once everything is all done.

replacing the alternator with an internal regulated, 1 wire deal. not really finalized on the ignition, but closing in on what i want. i'll probably sell off the 340 parts i pull and the rest of the unwanted shelby junk. the only real issue left is to take apart the wiring harnesses under the hood, and snake out all the stuff i don't need, keeping the gauges and keyed ignition stuff. would be a lot easier with a wiring diagram, but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen.


slowly, but slowly.......
