so everything is done but putting the motor back in and firing it?

so everything is done but putting the motor back in and firing it?

Kinda...as far as firing the engine I still need to order fiberglass wrap for the headers, fuel filter, pressure regulator and all my fittings and she's ready to fire. Still need to make a cage for. The fuel cell and get the windows to work

[Gottork]

ah ok, gotcha

I tried dropping that block in today...got a the bolt in the driver side but my pass side mount is about a 1/4" off from that bolt being able to go in...I loosened the mounts to try to knock them around a bit but its not getting me any closer...I'm done messing with it for at least a day, my bp is through the roof trying to get that mount to line up so I'm gonna stop befor I break something

took some time off and took a little trip up to standish for the week but i managed to get some parts ordered - fuel filter, pressure regulator, hose ends, pushrods, heat wrap and a few others. I had to switch some stuff around on my regulator, put on a gauge and plug some holes...i want to wait to instal until i get my lines ran up to the engine bay. I wrapped my headers in the fiberglass wrap...pretty much took half the day..wrapping headers suck. after wrapping the headers i picked up some angle iron from home depot and made a cage to go around the fuel cell..have a little top retainer that i can unbolt and pull the cell out of the cage...probably tomorrow or wednesday im gonna try and get that cage welded into the trunk then i can finally instal my wolf racecraft rear bulkhead... still crossing my fingers for the spring m&g

that fuel cell looks amazing..nice job

[esoteric18]

awesome progress cant wait

[Caveman]

finally stopped raining today so i immediatly rolled the welder out to the back yard and started going to work. little trimming and tapping and the fuel cell cage went right in and got welded. tossed in a couple supports on the bottom of the cage in the middle and some angle iron on the sides to help keep it sturdy. made my 10an line and put the adapters on the fuel filter/pump and tightened them down. threw on my 10an line, dropped the tank and tightened down the fuel cell end of the 10an line, and wired the fuel level sender. im waiting for my dad to move his car out of the garage so i can put the car on stands, run my fuel lines, pick the motor up and put the headers on and drop it back down for good, do the pushrods/rockers, altenator, wire a few more things, cross my fingers and push the button! but i gotta get the car out of the garage first...

YAY almost there

[Caveman]

some how i lost my maf sensor pigtail...bummer.. i checked with the dealer and they have them in stock but theyre like 40-45 bucks! i found a decent site to order pigtails from and they have decent prices so i went ahead and ordered one through them as well as a map sensor pigtail because mine was kinda beat up. gotta wait for them to come in and im still trying to talk my way into getting my car back in the garage...

Progress is progress! Looking good man hope to see it at some shows this season!

Just for future use, eficonnection has awesome page of pigtails to order for the wiring harness.

[sman]

When I needed pigtails and random harness parts I just went to the junkyard. I just walked out back and hacked off what I needed, as long as the harness was already messed up or wasnt in 100% usable state they didnt care and let me have the parts for free.

[Caveman]

finally got my trans back from liberty gears! also got my connectors in that i ordered off the internet...i do beleive this is just about it for parts i need to get that engine in and running, as far as driving is concerned i still need a few things though. my dads almost done with his car...maybe tonight we can get it started, he has practice and a race this week/end so hopefully i can make some magic happen..
