Let me know when. I will bring the sawzall!!! Just kidding this far into the game you would have to use a grinder it is a bit cleaner!?!
Looks great can't wait to get to that point with mine.

Gene, is that motor going to fit with those hedders ? ..jh

[doghows]

That is why I am coming with the sawzall!!!!

[SmithKid]

I've heard lots of stories regarding how headers had to be "adjusted" to clear this & that. I'm hoping the sawzall won't be needed to make the headers fit. They are a "Dougs" product and were sold as fitting a '64/'65 Falcon with 4-speed. There appears to be lots of room between the long tubes for the Z-bar (thats what I was worried about), but of course I wont know for sure until I install. Yes. I hope to pull the old engine next week.

Time for the payback portion.. Bring torch and wire brushes, it is time to get dirty!!
Gene I have all the pulleys we talked about yesterday. I will get them coated and your way soon.

Today, Roger and I got the old 289 out and on the engine stand (know anybody that wants a complete, tired 289?). Now comes the slow, hard part of the process: cleaning up the engine compartment. It's a mess!
