Getting closer....

Nearly done with the wiring....just have to connect one chassis ground.

Installed the accessory belt today too.
Still have to finish exhaust too.
Have to pick up some gas and hope to test fire soon.

First start....video link inside.

Quick video of the first start...blew a power steering hose but other than that no real issues.

Need to finish exhaust as this video is just with the headers.

Have to bleed the brakes too and put tabs on the plates before a test run.

Feels good.

Have you made any changes to the rear diff in any of your V8 machines? I've got and either an 84/85 Gsl rear axle with the limited slip. I'm just wondering how long it will last behind a 300 horse Ford SB. I plan on doing some road course action.

I plan to run the stock rear end (GSL-SE) and hope to not break it. I just bled the brakes and plan to swap out a radiator so my car is not yet road worthy. I will let you know what develops.
