Quick update... The short block is finished and the H&R's are on the car with a great stance. Im still waiting for the extra cash to purchase the heads.

While Im waiting on other engine parts to come in I have been working on all the wiring and gauges. Im wanting to retro fit some after market gauges in the stock locations. Good thing I still have my TSRM, wiring is one of my downfalls. I also have my new struts with the H&R springs mounted and...

Finally I got the block and rotating assy back and balanced. This week I plan on getting all the rings gaped and checking bearing clearance. So I should have the short block assy soon. I changed plans with the camshaft as well... My neighbor who does alot of drag racing had a nearly new Dough...

Has anyone that has done this kind of swap had luck running long tube headers? My shorties will work great but Im trying to find some long's that will work.

take measurments... or the best way is to go to a competant alignment shop and have them check.

Installed the cradle back in the car with the mock-up block and trans. Looks like I did well measuring, had 1.5" between the bell housing and the firewall. The trans clears the tunnel great except for the shifter arm, I will need to do a bit of hammering to get it not to hit. Engine is...

Uh... looks like you had your tires rotated. If you have, your front end needs an alignment. If no rotation, you have a bent housing.

Hopefully after I get the small block in I can atleast get a little air under the front tires.

lmao!

opinions are like.... anyone, anyone?

Not a soup but damn what a wheelie and 2nd gear slam in mid air!! Local guy at Clay City dragway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4bsUmyOeGs

Mounts are finished and picked the trans up saturday.

A few new pics. Mock up block is a 267 if anyone wonders about the small bore cyl's lol

oh that reminds me of my first car... '75 Celica GT, I miss her soo.

Blow-through carbs will run anywere from 750-1500 depending on the brand. I'll pass on boost till I get a raise. I really dont plan on driving the car much on the street unless its to a local show. And not sure what you mean by "the load they'll put on the engine"... Powerglides use less power...

Its fine my step-father has the glide anyway. And I planed on going single turbo in the begining but decided to go carbed instead. Still kicking around the Procharger idea though. So why do think a glide is a questionable choice, if you dont mind me asking.

7M is gone... block and rotating assy going out to machine soon. Got screwed on the TH350, after cleaning it up turns out the case is shit. Long crack running through the center part of the case. Guess I will be getting the glide next paycheck.

quick update: the 7M should be gone friday so I can drop the block off to get machined and the rotating assy for balancing. Picked up a good 4150 750 Holley mech. secondary for modding/rebuilding and a TH350 for 100 bux. That is all
