So how far in does it go until it bottoms out? If it bottoms out before hitting the powdercoated section you're good. Dennys Driveshafts wants 3/4" for forward movement, so if the driveshaft is installed and car at ride height, if the powdercoated area is 1" or more back from the seal you're good.

Of course you can always sand some coating off to give yourself more room if needed. Tape off the clean part of the yoke and touch up the end of the powdercoating with matching paint, nobody will notice.

How much slip travel should I have?

In most applications the minimum is 3/4 inch and more than 1 inch is not necessary. This is measured with the rear suspension supported on safety stands or with the rear end on the ground.

Thank You and I was hoping that is what you would say. It looks like I am going to remove another 3/8" of the powder coating which will give me 1.25" of inward travel.

Have I ever mention how much I love shimming a Torque Convertor....



Once again the passenger side header needs to come off.



Note... Don't forget to ZipTie the starter wires together.



Starter back off once again.



New ARP bolts



Here we go



I needed to add tape to my collapsible magnet magnet.



First Bolt in.



Well the tool cart is sure looking full.



In order to roll the motor over the plugs must come out.



So I don't have the pictures of me putting the last two bolts in but let's just say this job sucked !!!

Instead you get a nice picture of Remy.



Header going back in.



If you look close you will see that I forgot to zip tie the starter wires. I should have put a blue tape note on it.



I also moved the Lokar Dip Stick back one bank and it has a much better engagement with the block.

I am back trying to finish up the ground wiring.



I am going to remove the mock up wiring and replace it with the 6AWG wire.



I also move the Holley ground wire to the remote shut off.





The wire was a little long and the lug for the batter was just a little bit big.

Nice Simple project



Added Techflex wrap to the harness.



I added some copper Anti-Seize to the threads



Thanks fully all of this is hidden behind the motor.





Love what stuff you need goes on sale at your local auto parts store.





Now I can finally tighten that nut.

You only get one chance to cut these lines once so don't screw up.

syborg tt,
What do you use to wrap at the ends of your braided loom?
Would you mind showing a pic of the label maker that you use to label your wires? One last question, lol. Where do you source your shrink wrap.

Your thread makes me want do a nicer job on the details lol.

Thanks,
Jim

It's hard to believe but the manifold is finally being bolted down.

Off with the Blue Tape.



One last look at everything under the manifold.



Just a little bit of lube on the O Rings



One last look



Opps I just going to protect this just in case I ever need it.



I almost forgot to tighten the Oil Pressure Sensor.



Here we go



I have had this tool for years and once again I found it useful.









Well it's on.
