Motor is back out today had to fix my oil pan it had a hole well two but anyway got it back out to make all the motor mounts pretty 
and the tranny mount pretty too so it's ready for paint and I had to make one miner adjustment for the ford 460 big block mounts so I could put a wrench behind them for it to be easyer to take the motor in and out I guess I need to start putting up more pics for everyone maybe u all will start commenting on my build and also if anyone got some does and don'ts to throw at me please throw them at me u know build it right build it once words to live by but when can get some pics up I will I found my labtop charger so now I can gets some pics up really soon

Alright back to working on the blazer I got money today I fixed my kdp (killer dowel pin) and made a throttle too and took out the cheap plastic ball junk that a first gen comes with and ran all hime joints it worked out good for me to cause it gave me the right throw for the stock throttle cable also I dropped the fuel tank made a draw straw with some fittings 1/2"ha ha very easy to make and I will get the tank back in tomorrow I also fixed my shifter as mine was broke and I was missing parts but my best part of my day was to get her started as I have never heard this motor and I have had it for almost a year now waiting for all this project to happen oh and I started making my down pipe 5" from the flange back but so far just the start of my down pipe for now I will put up some pics in a few
