AT LONG LAST!
I've been extremely busy at work, and hammering the K5 after work till ~10pm. No time to post. First start Thursday went great. Friday was an 11pm pull at work, so nothing got done. Just ran the truck a few minutes at a time Thurs and Fri.
I locked tf in today. Made some fan mounts for the Windstar fans, got the radiator and heat exchanger installed. Got the fenders on, routed and re-connected all the wiring. Lots of little stuff, a solid 9-8 day working. Some moderate throttle blips and a short drive, then the first oil change. Drove it to the shop to put the new wheels and tires on. I LOVE them! Slightly wider offset than the others, but not crazy. 10/10 imo. Now I have my 3-500mi breakin, then we can let her eat!

I forgot how awesome my sound system is in this thing. And the best part? I can actually have days off again! Lol. No more second job after work every day, and every weekend. Just some hours cleaning and re-organizing the wiring, and I want to make a custom cold air box for the blower. I may even upgrade to a modern hydroboost, if I snag a good enough deal on one. Then to weld on the new rockers and start cleaning up the bodywork for paint. But all that is at my leisure, and none of it has a timeline or a deadline. My only task I NEED to complete by the end of summer is to paint the Nova, which is only a few hours of sanding away from being ready to spray. Then the Vette 5 speed swap/rewire/engine reseal is the winter project.
