Nice going! A big day to start a long-term engine project - home you had a blast!
Hey Ryan, the problem you're having is an issue with those carbs up top and no way to heat them. The hot-water version would probably help,...
The best setup is to use a generator mounted fan - and make sure it is a 32 Fan. The 32 fan is specific to the year and should be about 3/4" or...
On the pipes, you need to buy mandrel bent u-bends (different angles to work with) and then custom make the pipes to flow a bit better, hug the...

Hell of a lot easier job that trying to graft a section in the middle and hope that you can somehow align the two ends. Given how a TT pivots in...
No kidding! I don't think I've worked on any area of a suspension project without modifications to dang hear everything that went into it. It...
Hopefully you plan on using a lot stronger material to align the TT pieces that what I see in the mockup. I would be using some 1/4" thick angle...
