Got a lil more done today and yesterday, got the fuel system all in and plumbed and ready to go. Pick up my alternator/p.s bracket from the powdercoater and got my idler relocation bracket on and P.S. pump on, and the way its looking ill have plenty of clearance around my Jeep box with the stock truck pulley. Getting close just have all the wiring to do fluids,hoses,throttle cable few gauges and air intake. Going to tackle the harness tomorrow that i picked up from PSI Conversion.

I put a good Th350 in the car. It's been in the damn thing 3 or 4 times. I even have a driveshaft set up to make it a quick swap. It was even in there once for less than 12 hrs...LMFAO. It works great just no OD. I would like to get some LS conversion cars to meat at the beach. Would be neat to meet some guys I talk to on here.

Never been to the MCC show, they wouldn't let me join when I had a BBC 12bolt 79 Malibu, so when the prez of the club asked me when I bought the 70 I told him the story and said no. I am going down on Wed morning, we hang out at the Food Lion lot at the 120th Street shopping center. Come on down. Hope you get the car at least MA running to bring it to the beach. I most likely won't have turbos on till the OCT show. I would take my Vette but last OCT I got 2 spinning tires tickets. LMAO, my wife was right behind me in her SRT8 Challenger when I got the second.

Yeah I grew up in Balto. My bro used to live in Bridgeville De so I know right where Denton is. I met a couple guys in Oct that told me to join this site. Corvette guys. Fast freakin cars. I hope I get a windfall so I can get my turbos on before the beach.

Ive been wanting to go check it out but it falls on the same weekend as the De. State fair show. And its only 12 miles from my house vs. 65 miles. And i know its going to be a great show its 3 days long and brings in 500+ cars every year. Ill def keep in touch bout O.C. and Im trying to avoid those burnout tickets its my home state so those points will stick. lol

You should consider making it, Oc is nice but the cops have really drug it down in the past few years, Harrington show in my opinion is better because it has more going on like the burnout, flamethrowers, teeter totter, muffler rap, and light show competitions. The burnout show and flamethrowers are badass!

68BB, I see your using the trk alt. brkt.. I sure hope you've checked the hood clearence with the Alt. installed..... I had to go to the 105amp alt. instead of the 145amp one to get mine to clear in my 71 with the domed hood. In my 66 with the 2" cowl hood it (105AMP) won't clear w/o cutting hole in the under side panel...
JUST FYI......

I put a board across it and i have like an inch of clearance. I measured where it falls on my hood and it falls in the middle of a cross brace. Measured the cowl hood its wide open and will have plenty of room just have to get it done buy no time. Would love to make it to chevellabration but we have a huge local car show then. Thanks for the heads up tho. Prolly going to test fit hood tomorrow.
