fire it up?

 

Not yet. That will come shortly.

 

spice girls? jk

 

Motor is running, found out I put the upper intake manifold gasket on backwards so the coolent leaked at the water outlet. Replaced that and got everything back together. Installed P/S for the most part. I'm waiting on the p/s cooler to arrive and that will be finished.

Cleaned up some of the wiring on different parts of the harness tonight. So here some updated pictures:



I gotta clean up all the wires/harness on the passenger side by the fues box. I'll install the radiator again and run the motor for a while longer and then take it out for a drive in the next couple of days to see if the motor will hold together.

 

sweet man is getting there..............Omar

 

dam must be nice to work without a radiator support

 

It does make life a lot easier. I'm not welding it in for that reason. Its now bolt on.

 

^ smart decision w/ the support. might have to come over and take a look this weekend man.

 

Would LOVE to see pics of what you have done ^_^

 

I didnt do anything just removed the spot welds. Its held in by the two bolts that tie in the front of the fenders and 3 across the bottom which are all factory places. Its more than rigid enough with just those 5 bolts (I've stood on it). The head light pan curves which also keeps it in place better.

I just need to paint the core support and thats it.


The bungie cord is to hold the radiator to the core support.

Also S13 subframe bushings work well as bushings for lower radiator studs.
