NC snow, sleet, and ice. Not going to get any work done today. Tarped the top to try and keep some of the snow and ice out of the inside. With the new floor pans, the water will sit in the car until I dry it out (good leak test).

Just got the electric power steering pump. Figure out a place to mount this and trial run it: Nice thing here is all we need is a battery and we can test this. No wiring or engine running required. Getting tires mounted and put this on the ground and then run the steering. We plan on getting...

Wanted to share this bit of experience: We ordered seat platforms to add to the car. I ordered from a reputable vendor the Dynacorn platforms. What I got were these cheap knock offs: These do not fit with out a lot of "tweaking". I know many sell these as the alternative to the Dynacorn, but...

Just a quick glimpse under the hood! Fits perfect, exhaust coming forward for turbos. Will run an electric power steering pump from a Volvo set-up. FYI, had to use the front sump oil pan from GTO/Holden and make sure the engine is far enough forward to clear the cross member, but also clear the...

As promised more pictures. Front aprons and core support on, floor pans done, trunk done, quarter patches on, rear tail panel replaced, suspension being rebuilt, new weather stripping being added, and more to come. Roll cage (yes the rear trunk divider is gone as the roll cage will extend...

Update to this build. I have passed this car onto my son. He builds race cars for a living and he was excited to get this car. However, bad news here. We checked this car over and did a bunch of measurements. This car has either been rolled, severely t-boned, or just overall wrecked. The last...

I am rebuilding my 351 4V and the distributor was stuck. I tried to save it, but no luck. I cracked it and ended up driving it out from the bottom with the oil pump removed. I will be replacing the distributor with a new one (keeping it stock). I just will not worry about the date coded correctness.

Still have the heads? PM sent.

Seeing that kickdown issue kind of reminds me of the issue I had trying to make a tv cable work for a 700R4 on a 1968 GTO. I was cheap and did not want to buy a fancy aftermarket. So I got several brackets out of the junkyard and cut and welded to make one fit and still look stock. I have seen...

I had a starter issue when I swapped in a 1969 M code 351W into my 1972 coupe. The starter would only last for a short time. I switched to this style: https://www.npdlink.com/store/products/mustang_starter_mini_high_torque_weight_5_5_lbs-176370-433.html have had it for about six months and not...

SO is this a good price? http://www.ebay.com/itm/201436711953?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Then I read this quote: "This engine was removed as a complete unit from a low mile '72 R-code Mach 1 that was pretty much unmolested." The fact that the numbers...

Thanks for the heads up Jeff. I forgot about the credit card angle.

I have sent message after message to get a bumper that I paid for. He lead me along until the one month eBay refund coverage ran out. I should of just turned it into eBay, but I was trying to be a nice guy. All my purchases are now strictly watched and if I do not get something as promised, I...

Another difference is that the 1971 was built two years earlier than the 1973 lollerz

Kurt I really enjoy following along on this build. Even though it is a Mopar, it is nice to see how you work each problem as it arises. It is unfortunately the nature of the beast with this kind of swap, but it would be nice to Not have any issues.

Agree with cuda. Then you read articles how people are mad and trying to sell their VW and cannot even sell it for $10000 under the book value (think it was in CA). From what I can tell, the cars run just fine. Hell they even pass emissions testing as is (though it is a cheat). So what if my car...

Opinion you say: Image 35: At the door gap, it appears like a small crease of bondo on the front lower fender? Image 36: Small bubble front drivers quarter, just above the rocker? Image 38: Small bondo crack on the lower quarter edge underneath where it wraps to the truck extension? Image...
