Here is my tone ring ring and u-joint setup on the nag-1. Now that I got the pinion angle right, I can order a drive shaft with a slip joint in it. Got new leaf springs also. I can't believe how much the old springs seam to have sagged until putting the new ones on. I've got 2 inch lowering blocks on it and it looks close to what I want. Will need to wait until all the weight is back on the car.

Wow! Time flies! July since I updated. I've made slow but steady progress. Got my drive shaft build and installed. Fuel lines run and fuel pumps installed. Inter fenders painted and installed. I welded up all the holes in the core support and inter fenders I don't intend to use. Cut some extra holes in the core support to feed air to the air box. (Not build yet, need to get the hood on first).

Got the exhaust run to the mufflers. I used walker quite flow 26" (I think that's what there called). I want it quite. Also got a griffin radiator, I was going to use the original but the hose outlet was not going to work. Got the transmission and power steering coolers in, the power steering hp hose is done, remote reservoir mounted. I'm down to wiring in order to start it. I looked at my paperwork, I bought the hotwire harness 2 years ago.

Car looks great!
So given your location, I assume you will not be using the original style of heater? Would it fit anyway? What are you going to do with the opening the heater assembly used to cover?
On my son's wagon, he filled the opening and will add a smaller heating/defropster unit inside the car, primarily for windshield defrost. We sometimes need that at the beginning or end of our cruising seasons up here. Gene

Thanks! The original heater won't work, going to put a block off plate over the opening. I'm going to use a under dash heat and air unit. Don't really need heat during cruise-in season around here but I do plan to drive this thing to some events states away.....could get chilly I guess, I'll have it if I need it. Definitely will need ac around here!

Not sure about surprising anybody at the stop lights, just a stock 5.7 from a 05 or 06 magnum. I would imagine the nag1 gearing will make it feel more powerful then it is. I used 3.23 gears out back and intend to run the tallest tire I can get away with. Looking at how close the rear tire on it now (26") is to the front of the opening, I think a 27" is what I'll need to run.

On the NAG-1 output, did you make the adaptor for your driveshaft yoke, or did you buy it. I need to do the same thing on my 64 wagon project.

I bought it from Oster motorsports. Searching the net I found you could buy both 4 bolt and 3 bolt adapters. My Nag1 already had a 3 bolt so that's what I used.

Thanks! Starting on wiring now. The hotwire harness couldn't be easier. The hardest part is finding a place for all the computers. I bought a 21 circuit painless harness, going through wires to figure out all the wires I don't need since the hotwire harness handles stuff like backup light, brake switch, ac compressor, starter solenoid, fuel pump relay.... Hope to start her in a couple weeks.

Thought it was time to update. She runs! And fuel injection is nice! Took it down the road to see if the transmission was going to shift because I was uncertain the speed sensor brackets where going to work but it shifts, only let it shift from 1st to second. Had a coolant Leslie to deal with. Here's the brackets.

I first painted the firewall wimbledon white and never have liked it. Others tried convincing me it's fine and I tried making myself lik it but never could. So.....separate the frame from the body and repaint it. PW7 dodge white. Much happier! Was/is.

The final straw on changing the white was holding the blue next to it. The blue I choose is a 1955 ford aquatone blue.

Body back on frame and dash installed. Next is AC and gauges. I'm going to use vintage air under dash heat and cool unit.
