Now you sound like me. Well, maybe not quite as bad. But in 23 years you will be as slow as me.  Rick Greg, it's a pig block Dodge. Shifter is here, very sweet looking piece.  Also started getting fuel line pieces. My butt hurts.

Went to the shop today to play with the Daytona. Started routing the fuel line and found out the place I wanted to mount the regulator will not work. Found a new place for it and will finish it all up next time. Also, set my shifter in the place on the tunnel I wanted it and it is way too close to the seat to be remotely comfortable to use. Oh well, that has to wait until I am ready to put the rest of the tunnel in. Little by little. At least I am staying past the point where I want to cut it up for scrap.

Fuel lines are done. On to the cooling system. I will be using a remote pump. Need to pull the motor plate back out and drill/tap it for the inlet fitting. Also need to try to get the bypass fitting out of the head to plug it. If I can get the plug out without pulling the head, I will also start putting on the intake/headers.

Got a little more done Sunday. Driveshaft, converter bolts, starter, and trans dipstick are in. Picked up a filter yesterday, next weekend the deep pan and shift linkage go on. Also picked up a water neck for a Neon yesterday. The top of the head will be higher than the radiator, so rather than try to figure out how to get the radiator high enough and still be able to get the hood on, I got a Neon water neck with a filler cap on it. I will have to make a plate to bolt to the head to adapt it since the bolt pattern is clocked the wrong way, but a trip to McMaster-Carr's website has a piece of 1/2" aluminum on the way. Ordered my water pump too. I will be using a remote setup that is an electric pump for the rear heater in a '00-02 Durango. Took time out Sunday to install a new trailer plug on the black truck. I can hook up to my trailer now without having to use an adapter.

The Turd has been "retired" to toy status for now. The 340 in it will be coming out to go in the 340 car and the 383 I have laying around will go in. |

So where did the black truck come from? You got rid of that obnoxious yellow one...

Yellow truck got traded on the SRT-8 Challenger that got traded on the Dart. Black truck is a '95 Ram 1500 that I actually bought for a buddy, but he bailed out and stuck me with it so I plated it and kept it.

I remembered the chain of events on the /Dakota/Challenger/Dart... Just didn't remember the '95 Ram addition. |
