Many times to "fix" a problem I just turn up the volume... usually works for a little while!

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.

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.

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.

Just guessing here but tell Carl hi when you get the driveshaft shortened! Sorry about the problems but its looking great.

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.

Yeah, then what would you have done with yourself all winter? You'd probably be expecting another kid or something!

Yahhhh, don't say that!!!! No more babies for us, we're in our 50s and my jewels got snipped long ago!

If you want to continue doing engine swaps, I'll send some your way!

Nice progress Falcon, next we need to see road test/running video!

I took it down the road today and other than the shift cable needing some adjusting it did pretty well. Also not sure if this radiator is going to be big enough; it was a replacement for a 6 cylinder Mustang so I may need something bigger. But it got a bath and should be ready for spring with a tweak here and there; for the most part I really like it. Here's a quick vid: https://youtu.be/3PXytae5Vlw

That's great.. it looks very nice too, in a word, CLEAN!

Awsome! Sounds great!

That gear reduction starter just screams MOPAR

The car looks absolutely great.
