Entry 28: 2/11/2026
Finally pulled the trigger on motor and trans. Went with the 427/T56 builder series from BluePrint Engines w/o the front drive assembly. Their customer service is awesome btw.
There's an 8-week lead time. Hoping to drop it in sometime in May. I'd like to get the glass re-installed and swap over the driver's side power window assembly while I'm waiting around.
Only other plans this year will be getting an aluminum driveshaft, hood and trunk latches installed, seatbelts, and miscellaneous easy tasks.
At this rate I might be mobile in just 2 more years. For the very first time in the project, I have less to do than I have already done. And, less to spend than I've already spent. I can finally see a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel.
