......Currently, I'm at a buddy's place workin' on another one of his hot rods...(Chevy 2 that his brother and I replaced the stock front suspension with a Mustang 2 crossmember and A-arms.....and I updated the cage with rocker bars and a funny car cage and am fitting new lummynum panels in tonight....ok...ok...so at the moment, I'm typing this...but you get the idea
......) When I leave here tomorrow afternoon, I'll go to the house for a short short (get some clean duds etc) and then I'm headed to Tim's to do a "little" bit of work on a Mud Truck project that we started 2 weeks ago...then "hopefully" we will drop that lil' ol' 514 where it belongs to be.......At this point in time, I have no idea if this new chassis, motor etc is going to run what I "want" it to run (somewhere in the 5.30 range. 1/8th mile) but after 5 years of not having my toy at the playground, I really don't care WHAT it runs as long as it DOES run "something"....Know what I mean??
)........also have the tranny and converter all tucked away where they belong...as well as the radiator. Unfortunately, though, the radiator didn't come with any provision for a radiator "cap"....so I am having to fabricate one of those too......that's ok.....I get to make it like I want it.......what I am doing in that regard is.....I am going to replace the stock thermostat housing with a fabricated couple of pieces of some stainless steel plate and tubing....I will be able to fill the motor with water at the intake, rather than at the radiator (like a normal car).....and Yes, I know.....everybody and his brother's girlfriend makes an aftermarket fill neck set up for a Chevrolet....they even make 'em for Mopar's and small block Ford's......but NOBODY makes one for a Big Block Ford. (at least nobody that "I" have been able to stumble across)......Besides....if they DID make one....what fun would THAT be???
)....Now there is a large red (tranzbrake style) button for me to mash when folks get in the way in the pits
