Finished off a few details, got the old hood pull removed and ran 2 of the wires I had to pull out of the hole that I was using in there. When I raised the car to be able to reach into the fender well the rear of the car didn't go up, so imagine I will be jumping down the rabbit hole soon. Finished off the interior wiring and had the lower head unit ready to go in, just to find out that the right cage didn't come with the headunit so have to look at sourcing something for it to mount to.
Had some time earlier to wet sand the orange peel out of the spoiler. Thanks to RKTPWRD and Melloelky for the professional recommendations on that! It's ready for a wipe down and spray again, but gotta wait until sunday.
Cleaned the oil pan it’s powder coated so I’m not gonna paint it clean the timing cover painted at Ford blue paint harmonic balance and clean the cylinder heads new valve seals and put a coat of paint on them
Did some minor car stuff, electrical mainly, before it snowed yesterday.
A few weeks ago I installed a basic oil catch can from amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081N392BN/?tag=gbody-20)
Installed on an 86 El Camino with a 305. I don't drive the car too often since I'm at school but the can actually collected a little bit of oil! Glad it works!
I've had problems with a fouled up intake in the past so hopefully those days are done!

Pulled the other 87 parts car in the garage to finish gutting the interior was NO is still a nice car But this shall be its destiny
Got the Holley carb spacer in yesterday, did a quick test fit of the repop air cleaner base to find the front needed trimmed for the taps on the carb openning. Bust out the dremel & made the trimming needed. Fits perfect, clears the secondaries vacuum pot, sits about an inch lower than the old GMPP 10" I originally used on the 305. Here's the pics for TURNA to see how it fits. I left the plastic on the lid & filter cause I'm just being lazy.
Spent some time welding up the "extra" holes on the 73 only valve covers so they fit the 403 heads properly.
Have to go get some more sanding cones to get into the center bolt hole and smoooooooooth it out

Parts started showing up for the 8.5" rebuild. The Moser 30 splines are pretty, and the quick performance forged 1350 yoke looks nice too. Still waiting on cash flow to order the posi. Went nextdoor to the circle track fab shop and got the wheel studs pressed in.
