Just got 2 more pieces to the puzzle, . Bill at QC coatings,

getting closer to start up day. took a break from the exhaust to finish up wiring and engine accessories, radiator

etc. adding a stock power steering cooler, Does anyone know how it was mounted, facing upward or downwards? Managed to pick up a used rally rim to replace my cracked one. In my blast cabinet right now gonna paint that the exhaust and some touch ups on the car before start up.

well almost there, should be starting this tomorrow, installed a trans cooler got the exhaust complete engine turns over, I have spark. Need to finish up installing the AFR gauge, got lucky on the sesor wire was wondering how I was gonna get them inside the car,

Looks sweet!

Clever on the O2 pathway!

was planning on locating the o2 sensors near there, and after the exhaust was hooked up was a no brainer with no unnecessary holes to drill thru metal.

started right up, bought the progression distributor, one of the best things I got for the car. I had the carb on the other motor that lasted 1250 miles from the previous owner, it was tuned very close to what it needed for that engine, I figured since this was a stroker motor with a pretty big lift I would bump up the main jets 4 numbers to start, it ended up being 9 jet sizes bigger and maybe one more. doing a home front end alignment tomorrow morning then gonna test drive this thing should be interesting.

about one hour of tuning jetting it up alot, 13 numbers so far maybe 2 more from last engine.
