Quick update

Sun, Mar 6 - Got the rear crossmember/shock mount system fastened in to finish the drilling of the mounting holes.  Also marked it for the shock mounting brackets that will need to be welded on.  The strings indicate the shock angle.  Also got the center section (aka: pig) installed in the rear end housing along with the brake backing plates and new Moser axles.  Did a test fit on the brake drums and it was perfect on both sides.

Mon, Mar 7 - Spent the day at More Power installing the external engine pieces; intake & exhaust manifolds, water pump, thermostat housing, fuel pump, fuel line and road tube.  Got the engine mounted on the dyno, primed the oil pump, installed the distributor and got everything ready to run except the exhaust system.  Plan is to finish the exhaust tomorrow and break in the rebuild before running some HP full pulls.

Scored a couple of nice extras tonite.  Found a transmission cover on ebay last week and I was the only bidder tonite when the auction ended.  This piece is a floor panel that covers the transmission.  Now I won't have to cut a hole in my original panel to accommodate the shifter for the T5 that'll be going behind the 235.

   Yesterday I saw a For Sale post on the H.A.M.B. forums for some 6 lug x 5 1/2" bolt pattern, 15 x 6.75 Aluminum Slotted wheels.  These should bolt right on and the back spacing looks good.  Hopefully, I'll be able to mount up a new set of radials and give the 41 more of a hot rod look when the time comes.  May not use these wheels right away but the price was irresistible and I can save them for later.
