What are you thinking for the engine? Replacing with another 347 or something different? I'll be watching on that for sure. :goggles:

Coyote would be cool but thats an entire new front suspension to make room for it. Id rather slap an LS in there and save myself the headache. But for now, I've got another 347 Im going to be installing. Just have to find the time to go pick it up.

1973 TA Update
 
3 Attachment(s)
The guys at WBD are moving from the trunk to the engine bay. We decided to pull the engine on the TA to smooth the firewall, install a new wiring harness from American Autowire, relocate the wiper motor and add Vintage Air. I have to admit that Brad and his team are on it. We are overly impressed with their responsiveness and ability/willingness to keep us up to date on the progress of the TA.

This was yesterday...

They began by pulling the engine...

The guys at West Bend Dyno have been preparing the Tire Bird for paint. They smoothed the firewall, cleaned up the cowl and have sent it off to the painter.
