I went through Rich Nedbal on all of the EFI components including Andy F cam sync, pickup bracket and throttle linkage. Holley dominator ECU . I wanted the ability to control my trans and be able to upgrade down the road. Exhaust dumps are NoWeeds 3 1/2 stainless.

Finally back on the project. Rotator cuff surgery had me shut down. My daughter came over and cleaned and organized the shop. Rear brakes are done. Fuel tank is in and plumbed. I put an access panel in the trunk for the pumps. My hydro boost setup arrived and I hope to get on that soon. Started fitting my serpentine front runner setup. I had Andys scalloped motor plate. I traded it for a solid one as I have to do some clearance at the end of AC compressor and alternator. Car is set up to go to paint first of January. I will have them put my windows and trim on. Mango Orange is the color. Probably black hood. I am planning to seal the engine block and heads with Nyalic and leave natural. I will update more soon.

Looking good. Yeah, the solid plate usually works best for full custom cars where there is a lot of fabrication so you can move things around.

Been a while since I posted anything. Progress has been slow. Bottom of car is done. Mounted Andys motor plate. Putting in hood pin brackets. Pulled engine and headed to body work and paint tomorrow. Engine is going to Jeff Dickey down the road from me for machine work and assembly March 5th. Finally starting to get a little excited again.
