Oh I'mma go thru it before it goes in! Haven't decided yet on if I wanna go with a stroker or not, if I do it'll be a mild one, a 4in or so.. I do plan on a clean up of .030 or .040 over whichever con get me the better deal and compression. Aluminum heads, as if right now I'm leaning towards a set of Trick Flows 290's and an Edelbrock airgap intake, with an aluminum water pump as well. Gotta lighten up this pig as best I can! I'm gnna try for something like a 10:1 compression and somewhere around 525 or better HP... I've got a lotta work to do on the car before then tho, gotta swap out the 7.5 rear for an 8.8, subframe connectors, reinforce the torque boxes, better upper and lower control arms in the rear. And I've already got a line on a k-member for the front and I've already got a set of V8 spindles for it. I'll need better springs front and back.. Upgrade the brakes all around, and I've been talking to LMR about a hydroboost hose setup that'll work with my power steering pump.. I'm sure I'll run into other things along the way but I'll just have to burn those bridges when I get there!! I appreciate the kudo's and interest in my lil project and I'll work harder on keeping the build more updated as I go!!

Axtually got back out again today and finished up with the fuel lines, got em all zipped down inside the fender support, and got the fuel regulator mounted in solid. Hooked in the hoses and got the from tyre changed out from the maypop that was on it to the spare that it came with before that final tire blew out while I was working on it..IMG_20201113_144019664.jpg

And topside... Made sure I had everything zipped in good here too, especially the hose I've got insulating the hole the hoses are coming thru.

That's the spare u got on it today.. I'd have done more, but I had a really rough start... I had to get that piece of plywood dragged around and under the car then drag the jack around and get it where I needed it... But any day I get to work on Cherry Bomb is a good day!!

I see you have hose zip tied around those holes to help prevent rubbing. A couple dabs of rtv inside that hose works wonders to hold it in place with out the ties.

If I'd had some clear around I'd have used that, but I didn't wanna make too much if a mess, I figgered that'll hold it till I can get some. Thanks for the helps tho!
