Re: 79 swap
buying parts on the computer seems so far to be the hardest part. nothing beats going to a store and talking to a knowledgeable sales man!

Re: 79 swap
took off the water pump and it has major crust and build up. dropped oil pan and bought all new gaskets and o rings for the injectors..they were dirty also. hoping to have engine painted and put back together this weekend. im going to stick with the original manifolds but sand and paint them before installing. the engine mounts look cool hope they work out.
