I had a week off of work and wrapped a lot of things up. Radiator is in, all my carb linkages are built and installed, trans cooler in, exhaust in, plus a ton of other little things. I hope to drop the drive shaft off tomorrow at the shop to be shortened and start putting the interior back in. The big frustration has been this remote oil filter. I've been chasing little leaks on the braided lines and the adapter; get one fixed and another one starts. It's been apart and back together about 4 times and I found another little one today. I'm just about ready to toss it in the trash and try something else.
Other than that, I should be ready for cruising by the end of the month.1 Corinthians 1:27

Weird deal on the leaks.. Do you think it's the hose?
I had been thinking about doing a remote filter location back a ways.. but just went with a short filter.
I know that isn't the issue with your install, just sayin'! LOL..

That looks great! What brand of ss hose did you get? I have an oil filter relocation adapter for my 72 and one for the 40. I just planned to use parker type hose on them. Mainly because I can get it locally.Ryan

Man, it's been the hoses, the fittings, the adapter gasket; it's been a real PIA. I'm thinking about going with a Canton oil filter adapter; they're a better quality and they've got the ports on the side so you don't have to use An 90 fittings and it puts them in a more accessible spot. We'll see, I'm ignoring it for the time being.1 Corinthians 1:27

I don't remember what brand of hose it is, I had bought some from Summit a few years back and still using it up.1 Corinthians 1:27

I've had a couple customer trucks that had the spin on adapter relocation kit, and those always seem to vibrate loose and leak. They were a severe pain in the rear.Ryan

I hoping to wrap up the last few details this coming weekend and do a road test. I've got the drive shaft in, most of the interior in, and the last few wiring details wrapped up. All I need to do is do the cam break in, set the timing, throw the hood back on, and a few other small things. I ran it for the first time with the exhaust on it today for a couple minutes and it sounds great; much better than the little V6. Wish I had done this in the first place.1 Corinthians 1:27
