Will start updating more often now. I ran into a snag with housework and freeing up funds. Started wiring everything up with new harnesses/msd, gauges pulled for speedhut install, qa1 shocks installed so the suspension is done. Also ordered a 4 speed from Jamie at Passon after finding out the one I had was going to cost me more than just buying one from him. Plan is to have everything ready by the time I have the trans so I can get her running.
Installed my champion radiator, for anyone interested I used wiper motor bushings from the local parts store and they worked awesome:
