So, I'm just waiting on a starter which is stuck in the midwest storm. Hopefully it will be here tomorrow then I can start it.
PCM was flashed this past weekend, vent tubes ran, pcv system built, and primed the fuel pump.
Can't run the plastic, but whatever. Looks awesome I think.

Awesome build. This is making me miss my old '70 145S.
It isn't there in this pic, but my buddy had an old pickup gun rack sitting around, so we installed it in the back window of my Volvo wagon.
When you do the Amazon swap I'll be watching!

I need to get some fresh gas in it as well, I don't think it liked the 7 month old 87 octane that was in the bottom of the tank lol.

Drove it out of the garage today! No front o2's and no power steering pump pulley, therefore no belt, so I haven't really played with it.
Had a few fuel leaks @ some of the AN fittings. Tightened the crap out of them and all seems good.
Buddy only uploaded the video to Facebook, so I'm going to link there and you can watch. I love it! Clutch feels amazing, and spun the tires with ease just letting off the clutch reversing back into the garage.

Just want to drive it, but my pulley won't be here until the 5-6th at the earliest. And unlike the old 302's, with the stock accessories, I don't see any other way of running a short belt without PS temporarily.

Just picked it up from the exhaust shop. They did some awesome work. Exactly what I was envisioning.
Figured out why my mil light isn't working. Volvo signal is pos, gm is ground, so I'm wiring in an LED tonight.
I'm running a single 16" Hayden 3700 fan. Flows 1,400.
Seems to be cooling the car alright, then again it's not in the 100's yet.
What are my other options?

The one in the link flows 3,000 and it's $119.
I don't think a Taurus fan will fit because of the insanely huge shroud. the fan on my Volvo V70R is the EXACT same thing as the Taurus fans, but they are pullers. I would prefer a slim pusher like I'm running now, until I go turbo anyway. Then I will have to move it back to the back.
