Starter is working like it should ..
Installed the heat shield after welding a broken mounting tab back on ..

Got the radiator done and installed ..

Took the pressure to 15 psi, no leaks ..

Had to do some welding to make the support braces longer due to the ill fit of the aftermarket radiator ..

With every passing day you're getting closer and closer to completing this project. Do you have the interior put together yet?

That's next on the to do list ..
Must finish working the firewall, lots of holes to weld up ..
Will be seeing POR-15 on the inside, engine side will get epoxy primer and after sanding bed liner will be applied ...
All of the engine bay will have the bed liner ..

That's going to take some time to accomplish ..
After all of that is done and over will be spending more time laying on my back wiring under the dash ..

Small block Chevys' seems to be the choice of most Hot-Rods ..

Yes, and with good reason. Before all of the LS swaps, the small block Chevy, was the most supported engine, by all of the aftermarket manufacturers. I have had many over the years, and love the 2,,, 350s I have now. Easy to work on, and fairly easy to make 400 plus HP, and even more.

I'm back to working on the firewall ..
Welding up unused holes is taking forever cause there are so many ..

The idea is to net a smoothie look ...
All the wiring will be going though this passthrough box ...

Will have only two cables on the wall ..
Speedo and throttle .. Maybe ??
Must contend with the cruise control & TPI cables ..
They can be mounted somewhere in the engine bay, but under dash may net a cleaner look in the bay ..
