So I finally bit the bullet and rented a workshop to continue on my car , got the 6.0 mounted to the trans and put it in the car just to find out the oil pan doesn't clear the crossmember so naturally pissed off I took the rear end out of the car to start fitting the rear disc brakes lol
Hey guys posting a little update on the car so far
been tinkering away with it here and there when I find time,
ended up pulling the body off again.. found a cleaner frame to start with and a good 12 bolt,
Frame sandblasted
Junkyard engine freshed up with cam, valve springs and head studs
Should have taken more pictures but engine is in new frame is underneath the car, wires Up the engine with a psi conversion harness and thats about it so far
Jonathon! SO good to hear from you again, thanks for the update.

Jonathon, good to hear from you.
Great to see that you're still at it and making good progress.
By the time you get it mobile you'll be old enough to qualify for the antique insurance (lol)

just thought Id update this again!
been doing a lot of little things here and there
nothing To crazy
No heater Johnathan? Are you sure?
X2 ... keep on givener!
My wife calls me stubborn
For now yes I kept all the parts to put everything back eventually
Havent updated in a while still working more then I like and time is on the low site
but Ive made a couple small changes
added a small turbo bigger injectors,
and rear disc brakes, Im probably forgetting something or a lot of little things to be honest.
I am getting pretty close now it does run and drive hoping to take it out this year finally
*Exhaust is temporary*
