Yes took a while but finally got it.
First couple threads are buggered but I can dress them up.

What intake is that? The support from the heat cross over doesn't look familiar to me.

Well with it being posted by toms I would say it's a 544128 early SD intake.

[tom s]

The intake is a 1962-1963 421 SD NASCAR intake.I had Dave at SD rework the ports to match late heads,used a water Xover from a alu intake.Pretty much a RAIV-455HO intake for a AFB carb.Tom

Started the car today for the first time in a couple months. I was happy it fired right up after gas finally made it to the carb.

Battery had run down before so I checked the voltage and heard "no Mike, the alternator is not working" inside my head.

One of those good, bad, good, bad things. Hopefully it will be easy to figure out and correct.

I knew there had to be something cool about that seemingly ordinary combo!

Record temperatures here in SW Wisconsin today. Above 70 right now. Tired of working of stuff, and my GTO looked sad and dusty. My son has his learners permit and needs to learn how to shift a Muncie! Add all that up and I DROVE my Pontiac today. Pretty rare I get to sit in the passenger seat!
It’s running great. Burned about 1/4 tank off then filled it up with some fresh non ethanol gas.

And then threw my new center link in.

Awesome! It's a funny feeling being in the passenger seat, isn't it?

How'd he do with the Muncie? My son is still trying to figure out the 6 speed on the T/A. At the rate he's currently learning, I may need to start shopping for a clutch.

He did OK. Grew up riding dirt bikes, so familiar withthe idea behind feathering the clutch, but throw in an old original worn out shifter and it can be challenging. He was a little nervous about down shifting into reverse, but assured him that ain’t gonna happen unless he really tried.

Whiz wheeled the frame bolts that were rust welded to the bushing inners.
GOOD TIMES!

[ReelFun]

Replaced the throwout bearing.

[form74]

Pulled the cover off the Formula opened the hood to see the empty engine bay.

Got some work to do before the new motor is ready

[BILL BOWMAN1]

Tack welded a couple nuts inside the A arms for the shocks. Nothing worse than those friggin cage nuts breaking loose and spinning. That’s all for today..

[Scarebird]

Lemans got her first bath of the year - damn Albuquerque water is rock-hard and spots are tough to avoid.

[b-man]

Got all the junk that was piled on top of it put away where it belongs.

Lifted the dusty tattered cover off of it and looked at it, pondering the next steps towards getting this long stalled-out project going.

All in good time I suppose.

[tom s]

Changed plugs in the 69 bird,fixed a small gas leak in the 62 GP.Tom

[VCho455]

It was the nicest day in months and I needed a clean timing cover for the 389. Picked some from the pile and started in.
