Well haven't posted anything good in a while so here it is. Got the ebrake cable from CC and installed it. Much better. Finished off the brakes and clamped down the brake lines. Installed the new fuel tank and components. Riley came out to build a chin up bar in my shop and stayed to help put my tranny back on my engine. I was going to tear down the engine but due to cost constraints and the fact that it was a perfectly running engine when removed I decided to just clean it up and use it (for now). Got it set back on the frame. Next was the usual C3 water pump issue. My engine seems to be sitting slightly lower than pictures I found on the internet and so I couldn't even fit a 45 or 90 fitting in for the heater send line. I followed the port up to the top and drilled and tapped for 3/8" NPT so I could put a fitting there. Plugged the original spot. The return side I could fit a 90 so I left it there. I also had to clearance the one header tube right by the steering box with a very special header tube clearancing tool......yes, a hammer. I know what you're thinking, but I took my time and it turned out nice and smooth. There is about 3/16" clearance now. Now the engine is all bolted in and should be there to stay! YAY! Now I am trying to figure out the Fuel system. Specifically the EVAP from the Camaro. I was thinking of using the entire system but I am not yet sure how to attach at the tank. Need more research. I don't want to have the smell of gas lingering around the car. If anyone has info or knowledge don't hesitate to contact me. Will be using a inline fuel pump and a filter/reg from a C5. Anyway here are some pics of the water pump mod.
Plus I don't get much done on the car in the summers.
