Yah, it's a VERY long story. I'm happy with the decision to build a big block.

Ok, we are all happy......is it ready to fire yet? LOL!!

It will be monday before the radiator and other misc stuff shows up. I still need to buy the interim fuel pump and regulator.

I finally got around to updating my blog. Talk about a major departure from where I started. On a project this size its bound to happen.

 

[lxmodguy]

A little more progress.

 

[lxmodguy]

Some more pics. Radiator in and attached. Motor in, headers in, center section installed. Caltracs installed. Fuel, fire, and some wiring to go. Trying to figure out a serpentine pulley system of the home brew sort to make it all work accessory wise. I had to order an offset master cylinder bracket for the hydroboost to clear the valve cover. Marching right along though. Hopefully I will make rev before the end of the month

Looking sweet!!

Since you have to stop before you can go, hydroboost 4 wheel wilwood disc brakes. I made a template for this so I can make more of these if anyone is interested. They fit very nicely on top of the stock firewall bracket.

Here is the rest of the progress from yesterday. I need to clean up the arc we cut into the elephant ear still.

[lxmodguy]

Lots of progress.

Finally got the bracket cnc'd for the gm power steering pump I switched to. Radiator is back in, gas tank in. Playing the waiting game for fittings
