Engine Replacement w/ 540 CID Update

By: Rebel 57 12/20/2022

Once we got into taking the car back apart, found the following needed repairs/replacement:

  • re-work brake lines to fit new engine/tranny
  • replace front-end suspension and shocks (all around). bushings were dry-rot and shocks shot.
  • decision to replace wiring with new wiring harness. Alot of 'shotty' connections found, etc.
  • found burn holes in frame that had to be welded/patch repaired.
  • relocating battery to trunk

New Adds:

  • new dual electric fan
  • traction bars


Hoping to be near complete by end of December, early January!
