Building Up the Engine

Above, the engine is starting to come together. You can see the accessories on the front of the engine have been installed along with the intake manifold. I installed the accelerator cable and clutch cables this week. Hopefully first start will be 1st week of March.
Here you can see I bent the chrome fuel lines so they will go on top of the exhaust instead of behind it like on the Mustang. You can also see the freshly painted catalytic converter. I used VHT white primer then Rustoleum BBQ Grill flat black on the cats. We'll see if it holds up.

I'm trying to mock up the exhaust system. I will try to paint the mufflers before the first start - just seeing what it will look like here - where will the mount bolts go.
