Nice progress! Not sure if you`ve planned on this or not but running the passenger side brake line across the firewall is a lot easier before the engine and trans are in the way.

Yep! That is next on our to-do list. We ran out of steam today, but got quite a bit done...with a couple steps backwards.  :rofl:

I would try to get the dash & pedals in with all the wiring & brake lines as well before installing the engine
otherwise looking great  :bradsthumb:

Will do! Today, we got the tranny/TC hooked up with the engine. Got the alternator and power steering pump on to find that we need a 2 pulley alt...so need to pull the single pulley and add another double pulley we had laying around.  Getting the single pulley off sounds easy enough but getting the double pulley pressed on looks a bit tricksy.  :thinking:

We also got the heater box on along with the brake booster/master cylinder.  Our next step was those brake lines but we all felt exhausted.  Won't work on it at all tomorrow...spending Easter with family. So, Monday, we'll get to those brake lines, work on the pedals and dash. It's the electrical that always messes me up. We have her old Harness and a Painless Harness that we bought looong ago.  Guess we just need to lay them side by side and just figure it out.
