pontiac 1958 front cover on 1966 engine

rear trans mount fabricated and moved park brake wire mount .xpipe fabricated

 

I had a guy make a big deal of getting a '59 block so he could use it in an earlier application, because of the mount holes - I just don't remember why that was, it's been way too long.

 

got the mid mount up today and converter coved it is tight

 

got engine and trans running now .had it outside in spring sun both yesterday and today.

 

update today installing a pontiac catalina fuel tank 1961-1964 on my gmc 1958 filler is still in progress but will go on left side of bed.

 

got gas filler pipe done had to pull bumper to get it down after fiting it dont have a pipe bender so it was in 8 pices.
