Sad day today; my #1 garage partner Monica went home to Jesus. 15 years old; she was a good friend.

If a 518 is a real probability in the future, you probably want to at least get the measurements on the OD section of the trans. They take up a lot more room than the skinny tail housing of a 727....you don't want to do the trans tunnel twice.

I'm not so much a cat person, but a pet is a pet is a pet, and they are all loved, and they all love unconditionally. This is somewhat of a comfort - The Rainbow Bridge Poem - The beautiful journey of a pet after death.Roger

Nice; thanks, Roger.
Mike, I think I'm going to stick with a 727. I just picked one up yesterday, in fact.1 Corinthians 1:27

Sorry to hear about your Cat. My dogs are my constant companions so to think of losing them leaves a hole in my heart."

Love my cats and dogs, and it is always sad when one goes home. If we are lucky another will adopt us and help to fill the hole left behind.
Thoughts are with you my friend...

Yeah, she was good one. Always listened to my complaints and never asked for anything besides a meal and the occasional belly scratch. I've got another cat and I can tell he really misses her; he's been crying and looking for her for several days. I'll have to get him another companion soon.
Finished up the heads today; should have them bolted on this week.Last edited by falconvan; 09-27-2015 at 04:38 PM.

I did some trial fitting today and got the motor mounts built. Luckily I was able to reuse the mounting pads I built for the SHO motor and just moved them back. Also, the cutout I had made in the firewall for the SHO was the perfect width for the new engine. The big snafu looks like the factory steering box has to go; the motor is too wide. Looks like she getting a rack-n-pinion conversion. Also had to do some trans tunnel surgery but that was pretty minor. I ordered some block hugger headers and the next step is to modify the cross member for the trans.Last edited by falconvan; 10-05-2015 at 01:17 PM.
