Love the trans cross member and jack fixture, very clever.

Did the 80e end up being useable?

Like blown, something about pie cuts that just says awesome. Nice work.

Thanks, Idk about the trans yet. I took a chance and threw it in. I discovered the pump gear was installed backwards when I was trying to slide the converter on. When I pulled the pump it was clean and looked like it had been rebuilt. Most of the dirt and grit was in the stock pan which had a hole in it and wiring harness so I cleaned that up. I have to get back to work on the fuel system before i can fire it up.

After at least two weeks of over analysis paralysis, I'm not going to mount my FPR to the fire wall this is what i came up with...







I have keys to a full machine shop 5 minutes down the road but who who needs all that ****?

Wasted time

Upgraded to the 4" intercooler from Trick during the summer sale. Intercooler only so it needed, a mount...**** hand tools



It's solidly mounted now, just need to work out the piping.

Hopefully photobucket is still giving me a free pass, I've been afraid to use my account...
