You're moving right along.

One word about the Holley drive. The ones I have spaced the belt too far forward of the engine block, making the belt out of alignment with the truck balancer. I had to cut the spacers to make every thing lined up.

I have the f-body balancer on there now and plan to use that setup. I wonder if I will have the same issue.

You may not have the same issue. I noticed my spacers were pretty roughly made, so maybe it was just my spacers that were made wrong.

A local member just asked if I'm interested in a Vintage Air Frontrunner setup, so I'm going investigate that route.

Hate to hear the spacers were rough. My Holley oil pan is a pretty nice piece.

Project is looking good I like option 2 if you are still deciding on wheels but I don't think you could go wrong either way.

Let me know if you'd pass on the Frontrunner. I maybe interested in it.

The spacers were alright. I'd thought they could have been better.

Minor update with the front clip on.







Jim, with GM Tilt, finished up the steering column:



Fuel system and brakes are up next.

The Holley front drive, with accessories, is ready to be installed also.
