Thats one heck of an engine hoist/hood lifter where do you get one of them?

Well I was hoping to have some extra parts for you guys but it's not looking good. The inner fenders and battery tray are rusted pretty bad. The core support is straight but has a little rust on it too. The hood hinges look pretty good. I will finish pulling it apart today before work and see what I come up with.

Everything looks good. I'm still waiting on you to finish your factory AC swap. I don't think you are going to get to it.

What all are you doing to the 460?

I will get the a/c done. I finally got the heater core and that part is going back together. As for the 460, It had leaks and a couple problems so I am going to get a new cam, lifters, valves, intake and headers. Pretty much just waiting for extra funds.

As a matter of fact, I might see about finding a disk brake setup while I have it torn down this far. Would be a good time to do it. :doh:

Lol, I like the muscle help with the hood. But I don't trust that bear in the background, it looked hungry. :wink: New front clip looks good, hope you keep up the picture taking update. :thup:

Scott at reincarnation can put together a mean cam/lifter/spring setup if you like. Just give him the specs of your motor and he can tell you whats best. I'm running a cam/lifters/springs and recurved dizzy from him.

Ok, here's a question. As long as I have it all torn down I was looking at my options on differant things. Up front I am planning on having my radiator with A/C condensor in front of it and tranny cooler in front of that. How the heck am I gonna get enough air flow? I was thinking of puting 2 electric fans. Any ideas? :?
