some things I need to get once the motor is set are :

-Gauges
-both side window regulators/motors
-both side door lock actuators
-new door lock and window switches
-trunk solenoid (not sure where to find this)

You have the power trunk popper?

the button is there... the solenoid was hanging by the wire and is seized up/broken, I tossed it, wouldn't move at all , the previous owner deleted the trunk key hole sooooooo... I am not drilling a hole in the trunk again so I will have to find another solenoid...

I wish it just had the key hole would make my life much easier lol

It's looking good so far. I gotta give you plenty of credit for having lots of motivation. You've dove into this project head first and you're really making good progress. Every time you post I say to myself, "You gotta make some progress on your car. The dude on the forum has done more to his car in a month than you've done to yours in a year!" Lol. Thanks for being such a good motivator. Keep us posted. I'm enjoying watching your build.

Thanks man well I'm single and the car is at my shop so when it gets slow I try to get some stuff done ... it's also been unseasonably warm so I'm taking advantage of that plus I would like to have the motor in before it snows.

I hate having stuff lay around.

You gotta c the other Ls swap my boy has I'll post pics in another thread

So I am going to get 20' roll of 3/8 rubber fuel line to run from the tank, to 100 micron filter to pump to 40 micron filter to regulator , then from regulator going to run the -6an jegs regulator to carb kit (looks cleaner)
