So I've finally designed and purchased everything I need, I think...so I really need to get to work now.
- Finish sanding/priming/painting the engine bay
- Modify the fuel pump hat connection
- Replace front swaybar bushings
- Install power steering rack
- Install custom 6AN power steering lines and power steering cooler (relocated to left side)
- Weld crankcase vent tubes and fix downpipes to fit better
- Relocate windshield washer reservoir to....somewhere else.
- Rework trunk power feed connections / fusing in engine bay
- Modify valve covers for crankcase vents (after checking vacuum)
- Complete engine assembly
- Install engine / transmission, etc.
- Fabricate radiator mounts
- Mount radiator, route custom SS radiator hoses
- Mount FMIC, route piping, weld, etc.
- Fill Fluids
- Break-in new motor
- Check / tweak tune
There's lots of little things that will drag this effort down too Plus, almost two entire weekends will be used up with other things!
I drew most of the FMIC design (to scale, of course) in AutoCAD....tried to minimize cost and waste since I'm doing the stainless. Sad..lol Hopefully it will go smoothly.
