The Motor is now installed....Pics within I thought I would share a few pics of the current progress so far.
Anyway, a few local friends came over and helped me get the motor and trans together, and set it in the car as one piece. Needless to say, it went pretty smooth, no fingers smashed, nothing scraped up too bad except for the motor plate stands, and it FITS. I took these pictures sunday night, but there is now alot more done now.
By the time the 2 backordered fittings show up for my custom radiator hoses, the car should be ready to to fire It looks like the fittings will show up next monday or tuesday, so by the end of next week I hope to be able to drive the car.....pending any issues.
The rest of the pictures can be found here.....

Looks great! From the time you got that car, to now it's gone thru a serious transformation... I hope someday to see it again in it's new form!
Damn good job, these drag race cars as of lately are looking better and better, gone are the days of a ugly race car!

Thanks for the compliments guys 
It has been a HUGE project so far, and I am glad that it is coming to an end. I just recieved the complete front suspension back from powder coat, so hopefully it will be on the ground rolling by saturday.
When I decided on what I was going to do with the car, I came to the conclusion that even if I was building a full out race car, I wanted it to be done right the first time and took my time doing everything the way I wanted.
So far it has come together pretty well
