Finally starting to make some progress!!

I finally got the motor and trans dropped in the other night to check the fitment of everything dancin_banana.gif . I am using BRP's motor mounts and 1 7/8" headers w/ the Muscle car Oil pan kit. The BRP mounts and Headers fit awesome I don't have a single complaint about them. I am going to have to grind a little on the edge of the passenger side lower control mount for a little extra clearance but that's no big deal. I am also using an Iceman cross member for my th400 and it too fit great!

I can't wait to get this thing up and running so I an take it out and beat on it! Here are a couple of pictures of how everything fits.

That looks good. Its good to know about the parts fitting right. I am going to do the same swap to my bu. Keep up the good work and keep posting pics.

Thanks Ty! Ya I really want to get this thing going. I got my carb ordered the other day so it should be here any day now. Then it is just a few odds and ends left to pick up to finish it up.

Got the motor and trans installed the other night (for the last time hopefully). I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel at this point. I'm going to go out tonight and try to finish up the last of my electrical stuff that needs to be done. I still need to run all my new fuel lines, I'll get this done this weekend. Then it just finishing up the little touches before it's done. Here are a couple of pictures!

New Pro-Systems Carb!!

Still need to get some hangers for the exhaust but the fitment is perfect with the iceman cross member.

Finished wiring the all my gauges and switches and got my gauge cluster reinstalled

New front electrical panel
