Got a few things done on Monday.

Had a longer driveshaft made (boy was that ever not cheap), just to find out that my yoke was not bored at the end correctly to match up with the bolted tailshaft of my TH400. Thus it had never been fully seated all these years. So now I'm waiting for it to be bored and ready for me to pick up.

I converted to the cable throttle setup from the 71. Mounted it on the firewall and it looks like it belongs there. Need to swap the brake pedal pad to match the 71-72 horizontal line style otherwise it will bother the OCD side of my brain!

Chopped the exhaust down so I could at least bolt up the front half with the H-pipe. The big block sure sounds sweet with straight pipes... but LOUD! A local shop quoted my ~$550 to do a complete new 2-1/2" dual system with H-pipe and 40 series flowmasters.

I also ordered a 17", 2,400 cfm fan from summit (I hope that is enough flow), and a power steering pump bracket set from Alan Grove. Hopefully I'll have everything I need to button this up and get old Gerty back on the road this coming weekend.
