Here's some pics of it installed.
Also picked up a 600cfm Edelbrock with an electric choke to replace the Q-jet for $50. The Q-jet numbers said it was an 800cfm version from a 77 Caddy. Seemed a bit much (fuel consumption) for the basically stock 350.
The B&M shift bracketry came in, and the cable is installed. I modified the steering column shift bracket to re-locate it behind the dvr. side valve cover (it was almost touching it previously). Now I just need to build a bracket to hold the cable (at the column), and it should be shifting on the column just fine.
Assuming the kid keeps his grades up, We hope to have it moving under it's own power by Christmas!
If not, then it will continue as his grades improve.
