STILL waiting on control arms. If the machine shop guy does not get them done, like by Tuesday, gonna toss them and get some tubular setup.
Trans is supposed to be here this week. Can't wait. As soon as I get this motor/trans mounted up, I can get started on the myriad of little things that eats up your time and nickle and dimes you to death. More to come.

Re: back from Hiatus... :)
 

Trans not here. Control arm situation went from "it's been almost 4 weeks...it's just bushings" to QA1 front coilover setup. Guess that LSA blower is just not in the cards...

Re: back from Hiatus... :)
 

Picked up trans today, got it unloaded, and the old one in the shipping crate to go back.
Waiting on qa1 front setup......
neighborhater mufflers came in today also....running dual 3" dump

Re: back from Hiatus... :)
 

About time....

Re: back from Hiatus... :)
 

Got the spring perches cut for the qa1 setup. Going to put the front suspension back on this weekend...and probably get the motor/trans put in for the final time.

Re: back from Hiatus... :)
 

Moving forward.
Thanks to Hart_Rod for lending me a hand, and catching up after several years.

Re: back from Hiatus... :)
 

Motor, trans, trans xmember are in. Running fuel lines this weekend, and get that gas tank mounted(tired of looking at it).

Re: back from Hiatus... :)
 

Gonna be on the road soon....:devil:

Re: back from Hiatus... :)
 

Nice work man! I love the tubular arms!

Re: back from Hiatus... :)
 

not a lot to update...Rob came over and gave me a hand with a couple of things. Big help.
Hopefully get exhaust welded up this weekend, think I tossed out a new set of header gaskets, could not find them, had to buy another set...should be here by the weekend.
Get the headers/gaskets installed, get the rest of exhaust mounted up,
Run power wire to fuel pump, maybe even get the tank bolted in. At least that's my plan for the weekend and next week. Then I'm off to tarpon paradise for awhile.
Harness should be done by then, and get back at it full speed.

Re: back from Hiatus... :)
 

Looking forward to updates!

Re: back from Hiatus... :)
 

Back home...
Mounted the fpr up on firewall, started to run fuel lines. Bought a new belt.
Started on the window felts and channels. Had to crack and pick the old channel out, long process, came out about 1" at a time. Only one side, was pretty muggy yesterday here in NW Florida. Be back at it tomorrow.
Still have not mounted the gas tank. :)

Re: back from Hiatus... :)
 

I did get the gas tank kinda mounted with 2 bolts, just for it to be in place. Almost got the fuel lines done, gotta drop the tank to finish, had to order a few things off summit tonight so I can get that part complete. Finally. Harness was supposed to be done end of May, but couple weeks behind. Still looking for oe core support that's in good shape, bought one awhile back, did not notice the previous owner had cut/zipped off the bottom area where the cushions sit in....might be able to cut my og one up and weld it, or just buy amd...and be done with it.
Will be VERY happy once I get this fuel system done, checked and tested. Then I can move on to core support, radiator(anyone run the rd ls swap unit?) and trans cooler.
Not running a/c, might just yank all that junk off the firewall.

Re: back from Hiatus... :)
 

slow progress...motivation has been elsewhere past few weeks.
got a/c firewall panel, fuel lines are done, waiting on fuel hat from 87chevy,
mount trans dipstick(just need little spacers or nuts), harness is on, got firewall grommet today, putting that in tomorrow. Got the ecm under the dash, and will put the small fuseblock that came with it under there somewhere too. Then on to the bulkhead wiring and get the trans lines run also. Might get some pics tomorrow.
