Havent updated for a while, but a few things going on.
Front spoiler met with a stump when towing firewood, so that needs to be remounted.
Engine is out at reconditioners. Disassembling it revealed that it was probably only running on 6. Engine shop found big head cracks in 2 of them. Was going to go 383, but far too expensive to get kits in, so just going 30 over, balanced with torque spec cam and a we burst of giggle juice. Engine to be painted black with silver exhaust, manifol and accessories.
Going to remote mount a starter solenoid (helps with hot starting and preserving battery cables), electric fuel pump with separate regulator and gauge, low mount alternator and Gilmer belt drives with hidden light wiring etc to tidy up engine bay. Inner guards are out, and looks quite awesome, so may run that way. Nolatech seay bar rubbers and steering coupling. Alloy catch cans for radiator overflow and washer bottle attached to radiator support panel.
Bonnet catch panel a bit stuffed as are the bonnet height adjusters. So will replace with one pair locking bonnet pins at corners and one pair stock bonnet pins toward centre.
Battery mounts into boot, with panel across all the bits in there (just where boot floor drops down).
Inside new black carpet, and rod shifter becomes cable operated mega hammer. Not sure if I can keep stock console around it, will have a crack. The switches for fuel pump, kill switch, rear demist and nitrous will go into either stock console in front of arm rest or rear of mega hammer console to tidy up dash.
New carb accelerator cable mount including kickdown mount for cable to TH350 (which it hasnt had before). TH350 getting tidy up and stage 1 shift kit.
