Took a small step forward today. Installed my Kwik alternator/power steering bracket. It's simple, relatively cheap, and effective. Next comes the p/s pump and lines, intake, exhaust, fuel, etc.

Made a little progress on the Jag today. Installed the BBK intake and got the p/s pump on. Not much, but it's starting to look like an engine again. Next up is an f-body water pump with spacers.

I haven't put the hood back on, but it almost fit with the truck alt bracket and intake. This intake is roughly the same as an LS1/LS6 intake, and the alternator bracket is about 5" shorter. I shouldn't have any clearance problems at all. The mechanical fan is going in the trash, so I wasn't worried about it, but when I had the hood on, the hood hit the intake and alt bracket, but wasn't very close to the fan at that point.
