        • took it off when I redid the suspension, needed wire wheeling and paint. Was curious if some weekend I could have you come down and help me wire this back in the engine bay, since its going from a 6 to an 8 , I am not a good wiring person.

          You off work today?

                    • well I know I have not commented on this in QUITE awhile, but the tranny is in the car, mocking up the cross member tomorrow for the torque arm mount, putting the driveshaft in, finishing up all the exhaust, then messing with the shifter, so by the end of next week it should be on all 4s waiting for a radiator and wiring, then I will hear her sing ..

                      • mocked up the torque arm mount last night and will get the steel I need today and have it done and finished mounting by Sunday, then goes the driveshaft, rest of the exhaust, throttle linkage, passenger front bleeder, then on the ground to install the shifter and front end
