I finally was able to start up on the old girl again and this is what i have done to her since the first batch of pics i posted like forever ago lol.

Finally rewired the whole engine compartment!!!!:thumbs:, yes Im givin me a thimbs up cuz that sucks ass and I got everything to work first try and with no fires:naughty:.

Swapped out the Hydro boost brake system for the conventional Vac Boost system.

Installed my NEW 355 CID Vortec, (I ran outta cash or it woulda been a 383 vortec engine but that will have to happen this winter i guess)and NEW B&M TH350 with a Stage 2 shift kit.

Im waiting to get my custom mounting bracket for my B&M Slap Shifter back from my buddy whos welding it up for me cuz i cannot weld to save my ass lol

Removed the old exhaust

Replaced the axle seals

Shoes and Pads and Calipers complete with Stainless Steel Braided lines

Installed a Electric fuel pump with a painless fuel pump relay kit.

New Rad with a B&M Tranny Cooler

Removed fuel tanks to get flushed and checked for any problems, once i get them back I will decide if I will use 1 of them or just get a fuel cell for it.

Here's the pics, they go from newest to oldest, i dont know y but thats how they are....

Why buy new when you can restore?

Nice job, that engine compartment has come a long ways since you started. No more dirt piled on the engine. Looks nice with the cleaned up wiring, new motor and braided hoses.:thumbs:

Thanks, it was alot of work, the wiring was terrible and a major headache, the hoses were a last minute decision but I think they add to the overall appearance, once the chrome inner fenders show up it will look even better. :cheers:
