1965 MMP's Barracuda Hemi swap! The Ever Changing Build
So not much of an update today. Don't have the K frame so got the car high on jacks lol and decide to weld in the trans tunnel this weekend and just as I started ran out of welding gas.. ugh and of course could not get it refill during the weekend :( so I'll do that next weekend.. (got the tank filled yesterday)
Last night wanted to tie up some loose ends on the motor it self so I cut down the heater hose tubes and relocated the mounts so I can fit and hide the hose's better which are a small change but made the fit soo much better. I also had to find a home for the Dakota digital dash cluster gauge / fan switch temp sensor. I had a hard time with this cause everyone on the interweb has an opinion and I didn't like any of the solutions offered. I even bought a DIYHEMI thermostat spacer but my temp sensor crashed into the cam sensor.. ugh BUT because I'll be running the SRT manifold I can mount the sensor on the back of the water block next to the stock efi temp sensor. All I had to do was drill n tap the back of the water block in the valley of the hemi block run a spacer and I'm in like FLynn'
In all hope I'm trying to run as much of the wiring harness through the valley under the intake to hide it a much as possible for that clean look ;-)
