    I installed the new cam and lifters in my 351w tonight, and played around trying to test fit the headers while the 302 short block is still in there. Hah. Right. Oh damn. :cry:

    I think I'm going to have to put the headers in before I lower the engine.

    i've had my new motor/trans in for a while...
    with the...in-tank fuel pump...mod and relocating the battery to the trunk (paint and powdercoating engine parts, cleaning up and painting stock exhaust manifolds) i haven't had time to finish under the hood...of course the knee replacement cut into my to-do time also...
    well today i have it wired to the point i can hit the key and it spins over...:bananaman
    i made/hooked up the heater hoses also.
    going out and hook up my...transmission cooler lines...in a minute...:yup:

    hope tomorrow to set the...Powerjection III...system on and start hooking it up...:thumbs2:

    ...:outtahere:...
