My Street 289 build

[Ivygreen65]

The engine is in and full of oil. Making sure all the coolant lines are on and clamped. Getting close to trying to start it.

Looks good! You know eventually you'll have to change the air cleaner to correct type 'double hump' style assembly!

Yeah, I know the later style Hipo lid isn't correct, but I had it on a shelf and am using it to see if the hood is going to close using a 1" carb spacer. I'll get the correct lid eventually, but this one works for now.

Anything new?

Good to hear from you, John. I got it to start and am currently trying to get it to run smoothly. Also - finishing the aluminum in the trunk, just got the driveshaft and am about to install it. Need to bleed brakes and the clutch slave then put the body back on (perhaps for the last time, but no promises). Lots going on and good progress, just not fast progress.

Glad to hear that. Since the trials and tribulations of Cobra Club I haven't heard anything on your build. If you can would love to see some pictures, Good luck.
