Well it's winter! But progress is being made. Slowly.
I pulled the engine, and after fighting with it for a day, got the trans attached! Dang friction plate wasn't aligned...took a while to figure it out.
Welded up some of the intercooler pipes, less couplings this way.
Went ahead and made up some Radiator brackets, as well as overflow tank mounting brackets. So many brackets...
See the catch can hanging there? There's two, and they're going to plumb into the intake going right above them.
So the radiator block I built on the back of the head, hits the firewall. I pulled the motor back out, and cut out the cancerous lump on the firewall. It's going to get a little aluminum plate to cover it. Probably going to remove the heater core system as I don't have the computer functional to run it.
I made these brackets, because I don't have the factory lift hooks. I'm pretty proud of how these came out.
Tomorrow I'm going to work on the patch for the firewall, and hopefully the whole thing will slide in. Finally!
