Default Motor goes in tomorrow
I got the T&D rockers today and I'm dropping the motor in tomorrow. I hope everything goes well. The parts list is getting smaller but the budget is shot.

I still need a electric waterpump, wires, coil, tranny cooler, and driveshaft.

Can't wait to hear it run.

It's in but it's coming back out. The oil pan is sitting on the manual rack. Time to lower the rack about an inch. I don't want the motor to sit that much higher if I can get away with it lower. I'll have some new pictures tommorrow.


Budget is what the wife gives me. It's just like any other rule. It was made to be broken.

It's in.











I lowered the rack about an inch. Had to trim the other mounts off and weld them about an inch lower. That worked out fine. Now I need to order a dominator carb and see how it fits.
