Default made some progress

made alittle progress early this morning,havent had alot of free time lately with the kid and doing things to the house,so got up ealry and worked.I got it cranking and have oil pressure 45 lbs just cranking slow ,battery was getting low.
Got the wiring harness hooked up and run into the car i modified it alittle bit so i can run it inside again in the same spot the old tpi wiring was,just have to do alittle fiberglass work to firewall area and seal it up.Hopefully this after noon i can put the waterpump on and monday get the thermostat housing on and fill it up to check for leaks.Should have a computer programmed this weekand maybe fire it up next week.Will see.

I love it Pat. That motor looks great setting inside the blue fenders. That is going to be an excellent setup when done. Gets my wheels turning thinking I might need to do this also.
