For my friends in the carbed section that don't venture into the conversions section. Here is a picture of the 6 liter in the frame rails.

Looks really good. You're at the point where I never could control myself. I'd be leaving things off and vise-gripping things together, just so I could turn that key the first time and hear that sucker RUN. LOL

Thanx guys. It seems like it has taken a long time to get to this point.

Zip ties, duct tape, vise grips and gasoline! Maybe back in the day, but these days I am a bit more methodical. Maybe only a little bit more patient.

I had to fire mine to hear its bark. i got a trigger ignition button from autozone that hooks to the starter, primed the carb by putting my drill battery on the fuel pump for about 15 seconds, and fired her.

The deal is I am slow. I am going to the shop now to install the shifter cable and the new rag joint. This weekend, the plan is to run the fuel lines, wire the engine and fire it up.

Fuel lines are in. If I can screw up the energy tomorrow, I will wire it and fire it up.
