2 weeks later, it pulls out of the shop for the first time:







Still have some things to button up, and I'll get some better pics.

Wow, I have a 72, but same color, dog dish caps, n everything! Still running the 6/PG as the car has been on the back burner for a while.

What did you do for the rear axle, fuel system, wiring harness?

The rearend is still stock. Fuel system is Rick's stainless from Yates EFI, as well as one of their harnesses. Power steering is stock f-body pump/ belt drive with braided stainless 6an power steering hose and adapter fittings. Oil pan is Holley and manifolds are truck passenger and f-body driver, motor mounts are custom to make everything fit and end up with a working driveline angle.

Perfect swap, looks fantastic!

I like the no BS style...clean, simple and basically all GM/stock.
