Update on Mike's project....
Here's an update,
Installed water temperature line and oil pressure line today, it's a little different on a big block as compared to a small block so nothing was a direct bolt on from the small block, but it's all done.
Installed the ignition system including mounting the hardware and then wiring all the components together.
If you look at the side of the engine block, just down from where the valve cover reads 454, you'll notice there's no headers. Test fit the Block Hugger Headers for the engine yesterday and found out they don't fit. The passenger side header hits the frame and the motor mount. The driver's side header just hits the frame.
You can see them in this picture and of course on the engine stand they fit fine, but they won't work in this frame and engine setup.
Called Jegs Saturday and the fastest a set of long tube headers can be shipped here without crazy shipping costs is Thursday.
So by Thursday, everything should be read to go and the engine should be ready to fire and break-in.
