    Some recent progress pics

     



    I know I don't show up much anymore but for those of you that remember me, I thought I would show some pics. I have had some hangups lately so It's not running yet but its close. I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel yet but I think it might be around the corner.

    Ditto! 348 or 409? Or have you "played" with it some?

    It's a 348, and I'm sorry to bore you but it's bone stock besides the TBI. I can't wait to hear it run, but I don't want to start it until I can drive it out of the shop. I need to redo my brake system, it doesn't work right, lots of misc hook ups and then the wiring. Thanks a lot for the nice comments guys, it make all the work seem a little more worth it.
