Went by Hawks today and dropped off the parts they needed. The motor is in and they are doing final prep work. Had to redo the cooling though the motor fan is gone and they put dual electric fans instead. The other way wasn't going to allow enough room for the air intake hose and mass senor.
They built the headers for it and tweeked the fram a little on the passenger side. They did a great job on the frame because I couldn't even tell where they tweeked it at. Had to cut 1 1/2" off the drive shaft and put new yoke on it. The computer is back inside the glove box like before so I'm happy about that not being out on the front fender well. They have the AC compressor mount but are waiting on a serpinten pully for the compressor.
Thats it except for hooking all the connectors up. They drilled the water pump for the steam line. They said hope to have it running by Friday, keeping my fingers crossed!
