I got the car off the dollies to see how much the engine dropped the ride height. The front of the car is now about 3.5 inches off the ground. So, the front dropped about 2 inches with the weight of the engine. The rear dropped an inch from 5.5 inches to the correct height of 4.5 inches.

I also routed the rear lighting wiring through the tranny tunnel to the back of the car. I routed the front wiring as well.

First Start List
  • Buy wire crimping/stripping/cutting tool
  • Install headers
  • Wire up the engine and ignition switch
  • Clean Gas Tank and buy some gas
  • Install Remote Radiator Filler
  • Buy a cap for remote filler
  • Figure out what to do with the overflow line from the remote filler
  • Fill radiator with water and coolant
  • Clamp down the radiator lines
  • Install a bolt near the steering rack on the drivers side to anchor some zip ties that will hold the lower radiator hose in place
  • Figure out how I want to run the throttle cable
  • Buy throttle cable mounting bracket
  • Fill the transmission with transmission fluid
  • Buy the right sized pulley belt
  • Mount the fuse box


I'm sure there is more, but that is the current to do list.
