    Got the C-4 mounted back on the 302. Then it was time to give the 70 Grabber her transplant. Closer to getting done..

    Calling it a night at 1am. Got the hydraulic clutch bled, cut down stock brake pedal to take a smaller Ford pedal pad I got from Oreillys, fixed some wiring, got it fired up for the first time since swapping the fuel system around. Just have to finish putting the lower dash back in and the drivers seat and I'll be making tire smoke tomorrow finally with the T5.
