Thanks, with the big oil pan, I had to notch the k frame

I still think I need to cut a little bit more.

 

[greg340 "GREGGLES"]

ya did a good job. you didn't hack it like most people do

 

[kamstra]

I HAD to try the TTi Headers on, just to see the fit. Boy they are a quality piece of equipment. I also added a Carter Street Fuel Pump.

I like a man who says "only" & then lists enough work for a year or so(at least on my sched.) Looks purty! Rich.

The rad is done but the old 318 crank pulley doesn't line up to the 340 crank pulley. The holes are differnt so some modidications are in order

 

[XLR8R]

The old "file the hole bigger trick"?

Engine came back out, and the k frame notched some more. I removed the 90 degree adapter and used a straight short oil filter

The existing manifolds are in place until it is broken in and then the TTi's will go in

 

[XLR8R]

I ditched my adapter too. Pain in the butt. Super easy straight out.

 

[kamstra]

Ahhh, NOthing is a direct fit. I modified the existing throttle bracket for the taller Air Gap intake. I also got the vacuum line plumbed up with some brass plumbing fittings for the onatke manifold.
Waiting for the delivery of the clutch fan. Slow but progressing forward.

Here is the old video of the engine break in

The engine is coming out this weekend for the new street strip tranny and converter going in. The TTi headers will also be installed with new 2 1/2 exhaust X pipe, Dynamax Mufflers and TTi tail pipes.

The 7 1/4 rear end is out and the 8 3/4 is in to be able to handle the new power
