Any updates Anthony?

Mike, the IC plumbing is half way mocked up. I'm waiting on my harmonic balancer so I can line up the SC with the crank pulley. Also, I have a Mark VIII fan coming, I want that mounted as well before I finalize the routing of the plumbing. Both should be here early next week, then I can connect the plumbing from the IC to the motor!

I got my Stainless Works headers and mufflers Thursday. They are 1-7/8" and look like a sweet fit for stock steering, but I have a Unisteer rack and am having steering shaft issues. I'll have to reroute part of the #1 primary to fix this, but everything else looks good!

Also, I finished mocking up the interior and rolled it all the way out of the garage for the first time in over 5 years!

Looking to finish mock up soon and get it torn down and back on the rotisserie by summer!! My goal is to have the bottom and subframe painted by fall.

Wow - I REALLY like what you did with the center of the dash. It would be nice if someone made that panel as a weld in replacement (hint, hint!).

Thanks! You are the second member that has asked for one...the stock dash doesn't really allow for a din mount head unit to be installed correctly and I needed more gauges as well. So this is what I came up with. :)

I'd definitely be interested. My dash was already hacked up (believe it or not back in the 80's) to make a DIN unit fit. It looks like crap. I've been looking around trying to find a good solution. So far yours is (IMHO) the nicest looking and as it appears to me to be the most functional. I really like how you mounted the Vintage Air control too. Very nice!

I'll PM you so we can talk further...

Thanks for the update..I'll keep watching.

That looks mean. Keep us updated Anthony. :thumbsup:

Nice work Anthony!

That IC and piping, and everything else for that matter, is looking sweet! Great stance too..

looks good, come along way since I was there. Unfortunately mine hasn't changed much with everything else going on right now.

Mike

Thanks for the kind words guys!!!

Thanks! Have you ordered your IC yet?

Yeah it has changed a lot since you were over...for the good I hope! :)

Yours will happen in time...you have a lot on your plate at the moment!! :yes:

Yup, and it just arrived at my builder's shop last week... exact same as yours. I am making a trip up to Carson City next week to check it out and my new Boze wheels and some other parts. Hope to have it all put together and running in a month.

Glad you are leading the way with the IC setup so I can copy cat. :_paranoid

Cool! You're well on your way now!! What wheels did you get?

I am excited to see the car painted and wheels and tires on it. last time i saw it it was a mess and just a shell.

I got the Boze Tach wheels. This pic is one of mine mocked up on a diff 1st gen in the shop. Too darn shiny for me (polished). We are gonna look at powdercoating options when I am up there, or at least getting them brushed. Shoulda done that in the first place. Oh well...

hey what radiator did you get again? I need that next...

Those look good, I agree doing something diffeent with the centers will help though.

My radiator is from http://www.prcinc.com/ nice product for the price. I just received my Mark VIII fan last night and it fits very well to this radiator. Jody has used this setup a time r two himself. check out this car for pics. https://lateral-g.net/estel/

Ok now I remember looking at PRC. Yeah that is a great price compared to many others. And if it worked in Don's car, no reason it shouldn't work well with my car.... (you know that is the motor I bought from Don, right?) :unibrow:

I have heard great things about that Mark VIII fan.

Didn't know that...sweet!! Yeah that fan kicks ass!!

Yeah it came up for sale on here at just the right time. Was going to build a N/A 540, either carbed or EFI, but this was too good a deal to pass up, and was nearby.

I might have to go with that same fan too.

Any updates (photos) on the plumbing of this IC setup?

Thanks,
