That's awesome, but the intake having injector bungs is only part of the equation. You still need a crank trigger of some sort, and if you want to run sequential, you'll need a cam sensor also. Most guys convert the distributor to a cam signal. Very worth it though, IMO.

Game on!

Needs a bath...bad.

The good news is that the old engine is sold and gone already!! Only sat on my hoist leaking for about a half hour before the new owner came to grab it.

Spent about an hour on it yesterday with the pressure washer, and got it moved over to the heated garage for surgery. Planning to get it up in the air, and start on engine/trans mounts, and any associated firewall/trans tunnel mods before I pull the body from the frame and have it media blasted.

Um...Houston....we have a problem....

I figured there would be some bondo in this car...but I didn't figure the whole fender would be made of it...

So, in search of a new driver side fender I go. 

Got it up on stands to make working on it a little easier. 

Spent a good amount of time with the needle scaler getting rid of what appears to be undercoating or something, and the loose rust. More holes to fix.

I already have the front floor panels, and the trunk panels. Waiting on the rear footwell patch panels to arrive and then I guess I'll dig into the rust repair. Joy...
