With the help of a few fellas and Kim, I was able to get the engine stabbed and about half of the wiring reconnected. I still need to finish up the rest of the wire reconnecting, brake reservoir install, rough align the front end, install the gas tank, install rear window and door window seals and start her up!

Some may have remembered the stock motor I was building...
Found out last week when I went to get the end play set, that the crank dowels were too messed up and would probably not hold, so I have a loaner 1500. I will need to find a good deal on a 69mm crank. might as well get a counter weighted one while I am at it...

Thanks guys! :thumbs:

Tonight I was able to finish up the brake reservoir install, the tie rods, loose wiring under the rear of car, installed a new battery terminal, made a good turn signal switch out of two, and installed fuel lines and fuel tank.

Ride height with the motor in and no fuel.
