So is the hood going to have a hole in it and be functional?

 

yup, in that latest picture the hole was already cut out underneath and u can kind of see it
the dark spot on the scoop is where the hole is

 

 

Hood looks nice, hows the rest of the swap going for you?

 

its going good
was suppposed to have the engine in last weekend but got busy
my engine is all good to go in so we are just waiting till this upcoming weekend cause my dads buddy who is an amazing mechanic is going to help us put her in there
should be fun im exctied!
i'll let u know how it goes
have u made any progress on yours lately jason?

 

A little bit, but not where I want to be. I'm waiting on my TV kit from bowtie overdrives so I can install that and put the tranny pan back on. Also waiting on a couple goodies from summit. 600 cfm edelbrock carb, tranny cooler, throttle cable, misc odds and ends.

What I have done is bolted the tranny and t-case in. Made sure that the driveshafts will be ok, which they will. I placed the engine so that the tranny was almost where it was before. Changed the diff fluid, messed with the t-case shifter to clear the body lift, made up a bracket to mount the electric fuel pump by the tank, cut and re-weld one of the alt brackets. Probably won't get much done soon either, since I will be working 12 days straight, 10+ days in this heat just drains me.

 

oh ya well your getting there!
every little bit puts u that much closer to that first burnout
so whats the benefits ofyour transmission cooler?

 

Well every 10 degrees cooler adds some large amount of life to the tranny. Plus at some point I would probably be doing some towing. Wouldn't mind getting a boat again.

 

oh i see
i wont be doing any towing in the near future so hopefully heat wont be a problem.
i got my headers in today
they look great!

 

Pics of headers? Did you get ceramic coated ones? Out driving that thing yet or what?

Well I got my new carb and other goodies in today. Also got my bowtie overdrives tv system, but they sent me the wrong kit by mistake. So I have to wait on the right one to come in. Other than that nothing new, hopefully get a chance to get some work done this weekend.
