a little mock up work

Painted the "Powered by ford"black to help kick off the heads

Repainted the tranny to match

Tour my hurst shiter apart and repainted and greased up shiter plates and shims....main reason was to get the "non"interchangable shifter out and make it interchangable.....going out this am to set intake for real

I had a set of headers and didn't even know it

They were mixed in with the parts that came with the 67 which was all small block....I thought

I got a few more part installed and ordering more every day

I've got a RobbMC ministarter on the way and 130amp alt.Should be plenty of room for starter and the cruddy lookin(but free)headers are on there way to ceramicoat shop..Satin black finish

Still having problems with the right Hurst set up

I 've got the new Center(carrier)bearing installed and will be talking to a guy about new driveshafts.The "BLING" on the front of the motor will provided by March......http://www.ebay.com/itm/390354487860?ss ... 1438.l2649

And Ron Francis is the guy I'm going with for the wiring harness......

Well the bling didn't come from March...It came form CFV and Nate has been great to work with. The alternator(130amp)is a mock up to see if it would work with the bracket

Still working with Nate on the other side....There was some confusion(on my part

)about the saginaw and ford pump,but should be takin care of and the right stuff on the way. Cleaned up the old pump and repainted

Looking good man! Are you running a serpentine belt, or standard belts?
