Way more than you can afford.

I'm here all week. A week from Monday I'm off to Greece for a couple of weeks.

Let me know if I need to deliver.

It's my old SLP loop that Don modified for me. It's the piece that folded up during the wreck & IMO allowed the car's floor to buckle resulting in it being totalled. Hopefully this will tie to 2 sides together better & make the car stronger. Probably not as strong as the UMI piece but it didn't cost $400....right Don?

Yep, just took it for a spin.....

I got my floor piece cut to fit for the tranny hole today. And I worked out all the pieces I'll need to buy off McMaster-Carr for the brass vacuum manifold - 8 1/4" barbed outlets! (I need 7 so I'm getting a spare) Thanks for that link Chad!

Plug wires are finished, and as soon as I get some adaptors the oil cooler will be done. The fuel lines are done (need to replace a 90* elbow with a 45) & next up is the tranny. Hopefully I'll get that in this weekend so I can start hanging all the stuff on the motor. April 12th is looking iffy.

If your fuel system is in, tranny is in, electronics hooked up, exhaust done, and everything else what's to stop you from draggin it in?

I'll chip in where I can. You need to let me know when and what you need done....but you are a picky **** so I can understand wanting to do most of it yourself !
