Well I got busy over the holidays and put the engine in (took 2 full days!). Let's say it was not easy at freakin all. I got a good deal on dash that even matches and is perfect ($150). Going to paint it soon. Got all my guages which will soon be in as well. The mini starter is my biggest question on the install. The Milodon kickout oversized pans SUCK! They won't even fit a stock starter. Mine's currently riding against the starter. Hope it won't wear a hole! Not sure what they are thinking. We managed to literaly stuff the Hooker 4202-1 headers in. Removed some metal from the top of the frame on the pass side. Its a put them in, drop engine in, get some of their bolts started then drop the rest in process. I had to fab a bolt for the 4th one back on the driver side. BTW if you use ARP's bolts you need to grind a box end wrench down around the edges...seems like Hooker could have done a better job there! Those mini starters need to be offset as well by about a 1/4 inch to the frame. Other than that its in there and waiting on the tranny bracket to get fabbed. Let's pray that goes easier. I got a bunch of pictures but don't really feel like putting a bunch of wording around them...too tired from this weekend! The name of them pretty much gives em away neways.
Anyways enjoy and check yas laters...
