Default Engine installation update

Here's the latest progress.

Still need to do.
90 degree elbow on heater hose connection to manafold
Hard fuel line
Fit new BB hood (still looking for the brackets under the spring pins. Some were found at ZIPS, but they are for a 58-62 hood. Will they work or is there another source?)


Look at the 3 stud posts on the top. I'm looking for the flat pate that mounts to these posts that holds the spring pin assembly.

Thanks Don,
I'll give them a call tomorrow. Looking at the file above, I don't see the flat plat. I might have to fabricate one (or two.. )

Thanks Larry. Nice stuff. I did find (finally) a 90 degree fitting for the heater hose.
