Still need to tidy up some wiring and such but the engine bay is very roomy. The only "bad spot" in the bay is under where the battery used to be. I need to make a patch panel for it.

Should be a fun cruiser. Gonna hate to sell her eventually.

Today we installed the March pully system. I would just like to say that the kit lined up perfectly and fit like a glove. Not an easy task on a Ford engine. Nice to have serpentine belts.



We also installed the Hughes trans and a few other things. Just need to install the cooling system, wire up the engine and install the ratchet TCI shifter. Learning a LOT about Fords...

Yea, I've ditched a lot of them, going to neaten up what's left and just make it sanitary. Was never built to be a "show car" just a very clean and fun street car.

One problem.. my Vr. Jr doesn't have ANY spots to draw vacuum from... couldn't they have put ONE bung??? dammit!

Did the cooling system today.

The Holley throttle bracket was $95 and worth every single penny.. the part is PERFECT.

Need to finish wiring, route stuff, install shifter and a bunch of little stuff.

Holley buys that bracket and we are now a dealer for that company. Could have saved ya $20. Always timing isn't it? However they have some other sic stuff I will be putting up for sale very shortly.

Well, you could have saved someone.. lol

I highly reccomend the bracket for any Holley carb deal, it works like a charm.
