After looking at this last post of mine with that big hole in my Pinto I went ahead and sent the 289 heads off for a good head job. Next week I will get the block bored .030 over and start putting it back together. The engine had a 3 speed manual attached which I want to change to a T5, T10, or toploader.
With the new position, I have more time to spend on Bandit. I hope to have the drivetrain right and driving by early summer. Wish me luck!!


CB I wish you good luck! When you're done come do mine!  ::)

I would need an adapter plate right? Unless I used the 89s bell and flywheel?

the flywheel will have to be early model to balance your motor. you can use the 89 bell i purty sure. some of the later model t5 bells were longer but you can change the imput shaft over to the shorter one and use earlier bell. but i think 89 was reg bell. long bell was like 93 i think. i havent reserched them for a while. 85 or 86 is when the switched to world class. so dont go any earlier than that.

Yep. Cabin fever had got to me. I am doing quite well now, thanks to you all and Kelly and John. They will be moving into their new house Jan. 15th so it will just be me and the dogs again, but they are only 2 miles away. John can't wait to get back to work on Bandit with me and we are searching Craigslist for a wagon for them.(yes a Pinto)

72 pair and Blu has my valances. did a little work on Bandit today. stripped the wiring out, rotten and chewed. John helped pull the old 4 speed out, I'm selling it to Babycheezemo.

Went to see that man over in Graham, that Fred told me about, and did some recruiting for the Club. I was able to get  a close up look at his 75 and found that the 75 grill will work on mine without brackets. I will sell my 76 grill and buy a 75 grill.

I hadn't realize I have posted here in a while, so I thought I'd give an update.
Haven't done much. Today I mainly cleaned up things. Been having problems with locating the last parts needed to start full production. I have decided to go 5 lug after all.
Can't move it to easy right now. Need the complete rag joint. When I traded my power rack for a manual rack, He didn't give me the rag joint. I may have found one today. Ya'll know I am going  to use a 74 grille.(Yes it it a Johnny Cash car).
I am having to repour my slab. The #$%& thing cracked all over.
Home is ok!
Job is fine!
New kids all wonderful!
Love life sucks
