Hi guys, I have been very slack in my updates. Have made some great progress.
A friend has built me a great 2.5 " exhaust system. We finished it to the mufflers last friday. I had said to my engine builder to pencil we in for a start up on the Saturday. Wasn't looking good until I found the fan spacer and got the trans linkages sorted. Starter relay would noy work as it was not fully in park.
Got the litle jobs finished and on the trailer buy lunch time on sat and got to builders shed by 1. Turned the key at 2.10 and she was alive for the first time.
Sounded so good. I have posted a VIDEO on youtube . Heading was 383 run in, have just changed it to MOPAR 383 RUN IN . Engine builder did a fantastic job.
Had got the glass and trim put in the previous week. Had trans flexable lines made as I had none. Radiator shop had moved the bottom outlet hose over to the drivers side.
The enginebay harness worked great. I had replaced each wire. Burder' photos were a great help.
Have finished the exhast system. Trans is working, on engine stands at least. We tried to get the brakes working but the master cylinder laeked. It is getting a full rebuild and should be ready on monday. May get first drive soon after that.
Got front seats recovered. Were easier than the rear ones. Gas tank and filler tube were hard to get in.
