Re: First Love revisited...

Well I have accomplished a few things... Motor is in, fuel system is done, wiring is finished for the motor, radiator is in and full. Still have to hook up exhaust, and guages. It should start tonight. I had a snag with the stock transmission crossmember being right in line with the headers, so I am fabbing a new one tonight. Once these things arer done I will start tuning. It will start with the stock tune but wont run real well, but i'll fix that!

Still waiting on a-arms from SD, but Jason says about another week or 2. I did complete the rear c-notch, bags, shock relocaters and new shocks. However, the camera went dead on me so no pics of that...yet. Also the exhaust is limiting the travel to about 1" below the c-notch bumper, and I am about 1" from the bed floor. So I may dump it in front of the axle or move it... havent decided on that yet.

Here are a couple pics with motor in... more pics to follow tomorrow, and maybe a little start video!!
