I have stripped the chassis blank. Basically like building a kit car

Thanks again to both. Built a few cars before but this is the first time undertaking a ground up build such as this. Its just going to take time.

Thanks Brad

Does a company make a set of 302/5.0 swap motor mounts or is this technology still under development?

That is why i love Ohio. Consealed carry and no regulations on vehicles. Your project is still amazing and is helping me out alot. Keep up the good work.

Sad you have to run cats

Just watched the video. That sounds great.

Whats the radiator out of?

In the video that you have of it starting does your wife say "I'm amazed that it starts" at the end? HAHA o ye women of little faith.

Havent really looked at it all that much. Is it a pain in the A$$ to drop these tanks from jack stands or should i limp it to work where i can use a lift?

Sweet. Welcome to owning a v8. I was raised on them. Being American most usually are in the mid west. I just want the reliable power of a 302. Not that the 2.3 is not. But i know a mean 302 build for auto x.

Keep it up. It looks great and will continue to follow.
Any chance of Carlisle next year?

Definitely leaking.

I need to get rid of my 2.3 and do this. Your project looks amazing.

I am also thinking of going the way of the sbf. Yours looks great so far. My problem is time and $. O wait thats everyone. Looks great though. Gives me hope for starting mine some day.

Used 4 gal of fuel in 25 mile round trip didnt really get into boost except getting freeway. Does this sound normal? Think my tank may be leaking.

If it is leaking would my tank from my 1988 swap in? Or did they change tank layout for the last year too?

Car/tank in question is my 1989 daily driver
