Default Blu' updates 3 April 06

Well we got the entire front K-member installed and the engine sitting back on the mounts again. I stil need to make front brake lines and the steering rack took alot of work to make fit and I had to extend the connecting rod.

The biggest bummer was all that work ONLY saved me 32 Lbs Un-less I was doing Turbo's I would not do it again.

I also finished my Speed Secret of the weekend It took some work and one running change!

Pics first...
Ver : 1.0





all was well untill I tried to install it...then

Ver : 1.1



I had to move the Aerospace forward on the 860.

I used the following

860 F-body mounting plate kit
Aerospace Billet Bottle Brackets with support rod's
four Stainless 5/16th x 1in bolts
four Stainless 5/16th x 3/4in bolts

I really like the way it turned out and changing bottles is fast and easy!

Good work!

Thanks Everyone. Things are slowly coming together again. Lifters should be here by the end of the week.

IF any one is interested I have two sets of Comp "R" lifters for sale. One set with 200 miles and another with only 600 miles. They will hit E-bay later this week.

I have a set of Morel's on the way
