well today all i did was a little wiring to the car so it will be ready for the motor to drop in once my clutch gets here (taking forever!!!). i have been working on this thing every chance i get and i still have sooo much work to do. im really glad i made this post to keep me going, if not progress would be ALOT slower. i really miss having a fast car so that is also a motivating factor, oh and the fact that a buddy of mine got done dropping a pretty built 454 into his 69 camaro . yup pretty boring.......

well today i finished bleeding and adjusting the brakes, installing both the throttle and clutch cable, and installing my 255lph walbro fuel pump. im just getting through all the little stuff that must be done before the swap and turbo.

this is a little off topic but do you like to put the motor in from the top or the bottom of the motor bay?

[rextec]

I've done it both ways () and I prefer from the top, but thats only if you have an engine picker.
