i am tired of fighting with the fuel tank it won't come out and i can't get the filler tube off without cutting it, so i am just going to put two 6 gallon boat fuel tanks in the trunk and put a fuel switch off of a truck to select the tanks. now i need to just make the shifter fit in the console and drop the motor and exhaust back in and the wire up the ignition. i can't wait. i have a few more pics on my link now also. you know i think i might have it saying pink panther. repaint it the same color and put racing stripes on it with pink panther written right above the headlight on the hood.

Your link didn't work for me this time.
I know you said it wouldn't, but is there any way that thing will draw fuel with the efi pump off? I would hate for you to put boat tanks in your trunk, that might be a potentially bad idea. Just saying. Lemme know if that link works or if you have new one, later

i tried to pump it through the existing pump but nothing more than a trickle came out, i even primed the lines with the efi pump. check out my new pics. i have the shift in. it fits nicely and looks great

what does it say when you try it. anyway the motor is in and guess what. the tranny crossmember needs to move up some and the driveshaft needs to be cut maybe 1/2 and inch but you know i think it will go in but it will be close. since the car has independant suspension the driveshaft won't be moving very much if at all and in turn won't break the bellhousing like on my friends ss. also the cable bracket that i worked over 2 hours to make needs to be moved because of my pipes. and one more setback is my pass. side motor mount. it dose not perfectly line up. but i was thinking, i have an aod out of a truck that would start jerking at about 45 but soon as you give it more gas it would run and shift fine. it may just be the convertor so i might just put the old shifter back in and switch convertors and see if it still works. i sure hope so. email me and i will show you the pics

When the page comes up it says I can log in. Maybe it only works if your online for some reason.
Well good to hear you have tried to fit it, seems some problems arose but at least you know what they are.
I will e-mail you shortly, later

i think this project is quickly coming to a hault. i have no money and that tranny is going to cost a lot. i miss driving the sleeper beast. it may not be a sleeper anymore once i come to a light loping everybody out. oh yeah remember that buick skylark my friend had. it had a 468 stroker. well 2 nights ago it got totalled and one of my buddies died in the crash. that is the 5th or 6th high school student that has passed away in the last 1 1/2.

the reason i have not been posting here is cuz i have not done anything since the day when i opened up my old tranny
it was super clean and the little fluid still in it smelled good and looked halfway good. but i did find a long curly metal shaving next to the valve body. is that because of an accidental reversing while still rolling to a stop sign. or an accidental park
