Well, I got the new motor and tranny in. I picked up a C4 and a torque converter Monday.
I still have some engine bay cleaning to do, and I still need to figure out what I'm going to do about pulleys, because the 221's crank pulley is a 3 bolt. I need a matching set of v belt pulleys with a 4 bolt crank pulley. I have fox Mustang stuff I could use but I wanted to avoid that because I want V belts on this one and I don't want to change the water pump. I'm also going to change the valve covers to the mid 80's finned "Powered by Ford" covers that I have sitting around, after I paint them aluminum. I'm also going to repaint the air cleaner, probably blue, and order a 221 sticker to put on it.
Oh, here's a before pic.
