Re: 71 Sport Custom Swb Restoration Engine and trans are in!

Well, I've been working on the truck when I can and making some progress. First finished cleaning up and re-sealing the heater box: Image

Next, I primed the gas tank after I sandblasted it and wet sanded it. I still need to spray it. Image

Then, installed the firewall pad, Image

After that we paired the motor and trans together, Image

And most importantly we installed the motor and trans into the truck, Image

Here are just some more pics of the motor in the truck, Image

Just a small update, added a little detail to my intake. I took some Ford blue engine paint and a fine brush and did this today. What do you guys think?
