Re: Finally something to show
didn't get a lot done today, but i did manage to get the reduction gear starter and the header installed (thanks jim)... I also put the aluminum coolant take on just to see what it looks like in place. i still have to find the fittings for it. the starter install went quickly, but the header was a pain. i had to break out the cherry picker, lift the engine and remove the motor mount and take off the center link to get it to fit in there.

Re: Finally something to show
Hope my engine bay looks as good as yours! Did you have problems putting in the gear reduction starter? I have one but it is still a ways out before I can install it.
Stay Safe,

Re: Finally something to show
Yah... Starter was a breeze. But I never seen the problem installing the old one though. With the intake out, working with extensions and a swivel from underneath and a helper holding the socket on the bolt from up top....

Alan keeps threatening not to get my dash wood done so he can have his car on the road first.
