Leave Jersey and come to Florida. Seems like everyone else is doing it lol

Oh God no!! Can't take the heat and humidity. Plus--isn't it salty there near the ocean?

I am on the fence right now whether to move back to the New Jersey-NYC area or stay here. The jungle humidity started very early this year.

This is it guys, the home stretch. Nathan spent the day helping me bang out a bunch of work today and we are maybe 80% of the way done! Got the harness mostly connected, just need to lengthen some of the wires. Exhaust manifolds on, distributor is in, and cooler lines are almost there. Need a new radiator, swap over the injector wiring for the big block, and other minor things. Here's some updated pics for now, hopefully the next update is when we fire up this beast and hear it roar!

Also, I'll be writing up a full list of what we have done to make this project possible as soon as it's done. There is limited info on this particular swap, despite the relative plug and play of the Chevy family of engines.
