I just took it out of winter storage. As soon as my E-Street EFI gets here I'll be working on installing it.

I put March pullies on my 440.  Only one small issue on mine.  The bolt an nut for the power streeing bracket was to long to fit with my Edelbrock RPM heads.  Called March, they couldn't help.  went to a local bolt supplier and they had what I needed. 

Looks like your pullie is hitting, can you shim it a little to bring it out some?

I made a .060 spacer. It looks like it will work but I haven't started it yet. I need to figure out where to mount the remote reservior then I'll start it and see if it's o.k.

Nice looking set-up except I don't like how they carved their name front and center though...looks pretty cheezy :dunno: if you ask me...They could have done it a lot nicer, more like their logo :2cents:

Ordered front and rear light harnesses for the cuda. I already have the engine harness. Hopefully, I'll be installing them.

Last weekend: 

Continued banging on the front fender getting it back into shape.
Ordered new headlights and adjusters.
Replaced the flasher units with new electronic ones. 
Replaced 3 of the 4 side marker bulbs, still need to get the passenger front one... 
Bought a adapter harness to use the later model front park lights with my 71's rubber plugs.  Should have them wired this evening.

Need to:

Replace the rearmost freeze plug in the slant 6
Install the new tie rods and adjusters

Installing the aluminum radiator and having such a ball.

I wish for once fitment wasn't a problem and I'm always having to fabricate to make it work.

Cleaning out the trailer on Saturday that my shell of a car has been sitting in for the last few years and getting it ready to haul to the body shop. It's been a long haul and it finally looks like it will be on the road to restoration

Going to drop the cuda off tomorrow to get a re-paint. Getting some fresh new EF8.  :bigsmile:
Hope to get it back in time for the Mopars Unlimited Spring Round Up.  :2thumbs: Crossed Fingers...
