Direct Connection Spool type K-member and converted to 1973 Disc brakes. Original 383 "S" torsion bars and monroe shocks and factory "S" sway-bar.

Too darn hot here to do much of anything. 104 for the last few days and 103 thru the weekend. Been breaking heat records for a month too. Then add the humidity! My metal shop is a furnace in the worst way. No rain in months.

Engine is complete and sitting in the car but it has to come back out so I can wrap the headers and make my plug wires. My pops dropped it in cause he needed the picker. Put a new throwout bearing in the trans and changed lube, its ready to go back in. I have a few days in the fuel system that needs to be finished and then the 2 MSD boxes, A1000 fuel pump and the Aeromotive pump controller have to be wired up. Then all the boost signal lines. I am hesitant to run it until I can purchase a Innovative afr/wideband setup.

Just need it to cool down a bit so I can get back to tinkering with it.

Only 19 days? DFW is approaching 40 consecutive days over 100 degrees.
I haven't made any progress on the hot rod either.

We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.

Ok,
engine is in. Real tight with the plugs/wires installed. I am wondering how well this wrap is gonna work or if I should get something to cover the wires.
Gotta get the trans cleaned up and repainted before I put it back in. Here is a few pick of the progress, not much but something!! I ran out of wrap but the driverside will be easy to wrap on the car.

Got a little more done today. Alternator has been relocated and fits real good if I might say! Belt lines up good just need to get one about three inches shorter. Need to get the alternator wires out of the factory loom and rerun those to the driverside. Still gotta finish the plug wires since everything is in place. Starting to look pretty good! I have a fan shroud but can't put my hands on it at the moment so the fan will wait. I think the 850 Holley is too big so waiting on a 750 main body then can start the "Hanger 18" mods. Then the worst part, Electronics need to be wired up as well as the fuel pump and fuel lines.

Soooon I hope!

I just got a wrench thrown into my plans.......... My good friend was over today and seen my 4 speed sitting on my roll-around.
He said,
You wanna 727 with reverse manual and a small stall???

I know its probably the right thing to install the 727.
But I sold my pristine auto console and shifter a while back to a guy in California and I have this huge 4 speed hump in my floor(was like that when I got it)..

NOW WHAT DO I DO?????????????

Any opinions??? I know it would be better for the turbo as far as keeping it under LOAD!

ARRRGGG!
