The last couple weeks I have made a little progress. Its mostly me going out to the garage in the evening trying to tackle something only to find out I need some piece and have to wait a couple days for it to come in the mail. Anyways, I finally pull my gas tank to take a look at it. It is in...

So,I knew from the beginning my stock 5/16" fuel lines wouldn't cut it. I am finally tackling it although I probably should have done it before I got the engine in but I seem to do things out of order lol. Anyways, I've got my new 1/2" sending unit from 521 restoration. And a roll of aluminum. I...

Looking good how much longer Til your tearing up the street? I've got a long way to go as well but I'm content to pop open a beer and start the engine every once in awhile haha

So, apparently you have to splice the blue and brown ignition wires to the MSD... It clearly looks to be running rich. I've gotta hook up my tach to see where its idling but it sounds pretty low so hopeful turn the idle up alittle and lean it out a little. But I'm excited it runs. Now I just...

Well I got it to start but it won't stay running... I've been trying to track down the issue but I just don't get it. Everything's wired correctly according to the instructions the only gray area is the switched 12 volt for the ignition. Once I let off the key it dies. I have it wired to the old...

already falling behind with this thread. Let's see... Last week I got the engine installed and I've slowly made progress since then with 30min-hour a night out in the garage but I've got just about everything done the only issues I've got on my plate right now is the driver side header tube is...

Boy today was frustrating first my bolts were too long when I tested the converter to flex plate. Then I dealt with getting the converter in the tranny for a solid hour. I am hoping its in right now. I've never done any of this so I tested the converter into the tranny before i added any fluid...

Quick question since my converter needed 7/16 and not stock size I had to run out and grab a set at the auto store my problem is it's just a hair too long. But they came with locking washer can I use that or should I order the correct 7/16" for 727.

Thanks 69 gtx, sorry I meant the bolts that went into the rubber mount to tranny. Figured out it's 7/16" coarse bought a handful of sizes seems like 1" fit best. I was installing my b&m shifter stuff while the tranny was out and I noticed this hole in the top of the tail shaft. It doesn't appear...

Got these in the mail, time to get rolling. Although I need to get bolts for the trans mount because mine were missing when I pulled the 904 out ... Stupid question which way does the cross member go? Trans mount go in front or back of crossmember?

Awesome! Its looking good. I am stealing your idea of using the engine hoist to lift the tranny up. I used ratcheting straps connected to my subframe connectors to lift and lower mine PITA... I'm just waiting on my trans mount before I put it back in. Oh and since you are getting new bolts for...

I can see where you might have issues it's pretty close

Oh really? I think mine should be fine as it's the stock bellhousing but I will go check it. I bought 7/16 grade 8 bolts on my way home today to mount it since my old ones were too small for the converter

Awesome I am looking forward to seeing how it performs! I was surprised they called Wednesday saying they were packing it up to ship out that day and than Thursday afternoon it showed up. Granted I'm just 6 hours or so away. It looks well built from the outside anyways lol. Just hopefully in the...

Finally got my converter in the mail today. It's 9.5" its suppose to lock up around 2900-3000rpm with my setup. Now the next big step is to get the engine in! But first I was wondering what everyone prefers for trans mounts? Poly or rubber? I assume poly is better and last longer just figured I...

Yea I have been leaning towards the manici racing one if I go that route otherwise I've always debated running an engine plate I even picked up a shaved waterpump housing in Carlisle a few years ago. But my dad says I shouldn't lol.

Thanks I was really happy with how it turned out. My dad painted the car a few years ago but it wasn't the best I kinda wish I had done it instead lol..sorry dad. The only thing I've painted was my old w150 a couple years ago and it came out pretty good for a farm truck. I wouldn't mind having...
