    Finally, today after about 12 hours, the new motor is in, everything hooked up, and tomorrow we will try to fire her up for the first time.
    Thanks to all that assisted with advice and insight with this swap. I'll post pics tomorrow. :bananaman

    Thanks again....

    It started after some tinkering and pulling the dsitributor to get it to TDS, but all is well now, except a tranny coolant tine hose is leaking. Got crossthreaded, so gonna fix that in minute. Here are a couple of pics minus the aircleaner as I haven't decided what to do with it.

    Thanks again all......

    Hey it looks good. I told you are on the right track. I like the hose dressing.

    Let me know when you want the hinges. Now you can party.

    look's good! Did you see the falcon with the turbo 6 in car craft awhile back? I think somebody needs to do a maverick.

    Boss9, The heater hoses and radiator hoses are all from Spectre, got them at Schucks I think, actually metal hoses that you can bend and all.
