Teck that would be awesome. I live in Abilene as of a few months ago, but for the past 4-5 years or so it was Lake Worth. I'm due for a trip back to the Metroplex soon and your swap would be one that I would love to see for sure. A good friend of mine that referred me to this board (clandr1) would probably love to tag along as well if that's cool.

A question I just had pop into my head...somewhere in my reading (maybe on here, maybe on 67-72, can't remember), there was some talk of one of the senders' fittings (either pressure or temp I think) that had to either be special ordered or machined...do you recall off the top of your head what that part was?
 
Its a fitting for the water temp if you want to put it in the plug in the back of the head on the passenger side. I drilled and tap the water pump for mine.

And this is where you drill and tap for your oil pressure.

Let me know when you are coming this way and we can see if we can meet and I will show y'all he K5
 
Thanks for the info and the offer, Teck. I'll let you know when I can make it back up to the Metroplex.
 
Well, it's been awhile, but I picked this guy up today...

Matches my engine in that it's an 04. Torque converter was included and it has 70K on it.
 
Well, turns out the trans is a 99. Gotta deal with that now...fantastic.
