I went to the NAPA (where I finally found one) parts store and looked at all the pre-formed hoses there. I picked one that had the closest bend and was the right diameter then just cut it down 'til it fit right. Worked great and koojs good too.
I don't even know what car the hose might have been for, only that it had the correct, or close enough, bend si it wouldn't kink.

Pops and I broke out the Lincoln and got some welding in. Not the best welds, but they do the job. Then again my car already tells you I am not the best painter either.

Tack'd!

Tack'd.
Ready to grind and look for holes or gaps.

AC to non-AC conversion?

Welds look good. If you haven't already completed the grinding use one of those 80 grit flapper wheels instead. They are a plastic backed disk full of little sandpaper squares. They offer a lot better control over the finish + less grooves and scratches than a hard disk.

Indeed. I chucked the A/C stuff a few months before I was 16 even, LOL!

I have, in fact, NOT completed the grinding. I will go seek one out. Thanks for the tip!

Hardware stores usually have them. Make sure you get the right diameter so it fits inside the guard.

Guard?

Does my grinder have a guard in the above photo?

For the bypass hose - how abouts this big block Olds bypass piece?

Installs to a down angle but could do a 90 degree I think.

I thought you posted a green firewall and you were swapin the whole thing out.
I was saying Just patch it up and weld it well

That patch panel is from the green firewall. When I started I assumed I would not need to install the whole thing but was preparing for the worst if the stampings were "Off."

Glad it didn't come to that.

I did have to weld and redrill the bolt holes from 4 to 3. No biggie.

Engine looks very nice.

Is this a 5.9 roller engine or an LA 360 with the magnum heads? Looks like an LA timing cover and water pump.

Might want to freshen up the trans or at least tighten the bands since it's about to see double the power it's used to.




It is going back to Marcus for some "Anger Management" classes.

He has a 9 second '69 Charger, and helped me build that trans back in '00.

Using the same transmission?!




Yes. Stay tuned...Don't change the channel! We'll be right back!

I am more worried about the 8.25. I had one rebuilt back in '96, blew it up in '00 and blew it up again by '02.

Cam, good to see you working on the ride and hope to see it in person in the near future.




Thanks. Although usually I make someone else be the designated driver and haul me.

When I moved to Davis suddenly I could not work on the Duster very much. Either the ex had me working on the '55 Buick I got her or we lived somewhere wrenching was not allowed.

I did not have a digital camera back in '03/'04 when Khal440 and I ware over-restoring his '72 Swinger in my garage (Which I basically got evicted for, but that is a whole different story)

This engine swap has been awesome. I loved dusting off the tools and digging back in again!

Who knows, next year it might be bodywork and paint! (Say it ain't so) or I may just go back to using her as a daily driver and keep the '96 Breeze as the dog car.

Wow, that is WAY nicer than what I am accustomed to. Given my track record at Stu's I am not so sure how happy his wife would be about me crashed out in the driveway though.
