Thanks. .I try to do a little on my day off..im also putting together my grand national. .this motor is going in my t type ..and the t type motor is going in the gn so I m working on two cars at the same time..
 
Two forklifts was used to set body on chassis with new poly bushings..chassis was sanded to the metal, primed and painted twice..firewall of body and under hood sprayed with wrinkle plus paint..body has no rust inside and out..very solid car..under car is clean like brand new. .alot of new parts came with the car which made it a sweet deal..
 
I like this set up..the obx headers have a lifetime warranty now..does anyone know if the welds are better and thickness of gauge?

Installed crank pulley and water pump. .have to get a throttle body spacer to keep the throttle bracket from hitting the hose neck on pump..
