Things Change.. Butters is now getting a 392
Just a little update...
Finished getting things roughed in.. Clearance made for alternator, motor shimmed into position ect. It's tight! The TTI shorties do not like moving forward. I did have to massage #3 tube to clear the PS and the pass side collector is about as close to the idler arm as I'm gonna let it get. Definitely gonna wrap tubes 1&3 to try to keep some heat off the ps box.. Is what it is.
Ordered a bunch of stuff from sublime yesterday.. Quick Harness, ECM, AC fittings, upper hose, 02 extensions etc. I really like what he's done with the quick harness. It now has fan relays built into the fuse/relay panel and also has a AC trigger.. So the oem harness AC wiring stays in tact and functional. Saved a few bucks going this route too.
I did get my 73 Idler, pitman and centerlink and mocked up. I have a better quality idler coming tho.. I bought one from rock auto that was on closeout for like $7. Well, there's a reason it was so cheap lol. It's the sloppiest piece of crap ever. TRW on the way and hopefully it's better. My pre 73 tie rod sleeves seem a little too long now. They're adjusted all the way down and I still have a kittle toe in.. but theres no weight on the car right now. I may have to cut them down and rerun the threads. I'll figure that out later...
The 904 is at a friends shop, getting ready to get some A&A goodies to handle what's coming. I already have a Bouchillion throttle pressure system for 727/904 Gen 3 swap.. need to get a new cable and flexplate ordered from them today.
I'm off all next week and during that time I plan to get the engine bay and K member painted. Also need to work on lengthening my wiring for the ecm.. the ecm plug won't reach where I need it to be.. Between the ash tray and glovebox. Plan on running the fuse box in my glove compartment unless I can squeeze in somewhere else. The AC Box takes up alot (most) of my under dash space.
Holley in tank pump, wiring and new fuel line sitting and waiting for it's turn as well
Still alot to do but my goal is april-ish.
