Still very Hot and Humid here.......Got the firewall plate for the A/C installed......Got to get some more insulation wrap to finish it off.........then I decided to get the dash out so I could take it into the house (A/C) and get the Dakota Digital gauges installed.......I'll leave the dash out till I finish all the internal A/C hook ups and get the Dakota Digital control modules wired and installed.......Working room......

man, what a great starting point for a project!

I was thinking the same thing ... I'd take a little DUST over RUST any day :confused59:

Was in the Garage today for only about a 1/2 hour.........put a header on to see if the stock oil dipstick was going to work........Fits perfect... :bigthumbup:..........Then put the adaptor plates on that the "B" body cars need........should have the engine in Tuesday/ Wednesday....

Getting closer........But........I found more "Dirt" !!!........Sheesh.......Does it ever end...In these "B" body LS swap's......the rear trans cross member needs to get moved back 2 1/4".....so.....I cut the frame mounts out and will re-weld them in position as required upon install..........Got the engine mounts installed and also the engine and transmission harnesses........Next......Get the drivetrain in the Car......Here are some Pic's

That Mac's lift plate works slick, I love mine. Did you guys bend up that frame mount part for the trans crossmember, nice job! Nice progress guys.

No......Those were the ones I cut off the frame........Just Glass Beaded them and re-welded.........
