Re: Old blue

Yesterday was a good day..... We got the engine and transmission bolted together and set in the truck.... We didn't have any snags except for one or two ... The driver side motor mount stand where the bolt goes thru was too long by about a quarter inch, and the holes for the transmission cross member didn't line up .... Which they were easy fixes.... I say all in all it was a good day....

Oh and the passenger side header I had to beat up to clear the frame on one side and the starter on the other....

Re: Old blue

I also welded up my exhaust tubes from the collector .... No mufflers at this time.... I do have some summit brand race mufflers to go on it later if I decide to....

Re: Old blue

It's nice to see another Bluegrass cruiser on here. I think there is one other in Princeton.
