this isnt my first project, just the first project like this. IE big block and lifted. it kind of fell in my lap.

Times are tuff, and i hope this think should be worth around 5,000 when i get the guages and steering issue fixed.

new inline fuel fiter, power steering pump, pulley, return line, and i had to do a custom hi-pressure line. Huge props to Oil filter services for having the right coupler`s and hose.
Also got the rad. in and all hooked up put 3.5 gallons of anti freeze and i still have not even got to the top of the Rad. But the battery is dead..... so going to get a charger, and a new power steering belt.
should be running in the Am.

drove it around today, let it idle for 40 minutes and with the hills i have around my house, the highest temp i saw was 195*


YEA, it runs. cost me 31 bucks to insure it, now i wanna see if i can get it to pass emmisions with the 454 W/O cats.

i got the speed0 cable fixed and it was good for about 2 miles, but now it clicks really bad... drives me crazy. gonna get it cleaned up and get it on CL ASAP.
