Thanks everyone!!
Yes thats all vintage air stuff. Cools the wagon very well even in 90plus degree heat.

Got the axle painted.
Had to weld on a tab to hold the brake line tee.
bent up new hard lines and got the axle installed.
Just waiting on the salt to clear off the roads to go out and do some burn outs.

Nice build! Wondering what you did for your throttle cable and pedal. I 5.3 swapped my 60 Bel Air and I haven't found a good way to mount a throttle cable since the pedal comes through the firewall right behind the head. I was just wondering what you used for a pedal or throttle cable! Thanks!

THANK YOU!

I used all lokar stuff. They dont list that they have a pedal for our cars, but a 1969 camaro pedal goes right in. Then use the cable they list for an ls1. i can dig numbers if you cant locate them.

Awesome! I should be able to find it, I just needed to be pointed in a direction. I looked into the Lokar universal pedals but they are expensive and I wasn't sure I wanted to take the risk and have it not work out. For the 69 Camaro pedal does it go through the firewall in the same spot or did you have to cut a hole? Being right behind the head kind of sucks!

The pedal bolts into the exact spot where the original goes through the firewall, you do have to drill one small hole in the firewall for the cable to mount to but i did that from under the dash.
