Re: 8.50 index build
Nice work Todd, I always followed your Malibu build on Team Chevelle. Sure a shame about that car, but glad you came out of it OK.

Re: 8.50 index build
Next item on the build was to finish up the stainless brake lines in the front. This was really my first time trying stainless which is a bit more of a challenge than your ordinary mild steel hard line. The routing makes this even more of a challenge, but I think they came out pretty well, just very tedious and time consuming.

Re: 8.50 index build
My engine builders son does CNC machine work out of their shop so I was able to talk him into making me this custom firewall mount sensor block for the EFI system. This allows the sensors to stay on the inside of the car to keep from passing so many wires through the firewall and the sensors then get plumbed on the engine compartment side.
 Front suspension limiters came in.  Chassis tag installed.  Window new wrapped up.  Exhaust support rods completed.  And starting to mock up the radiator and fuel system.

Re: 8.50 index build
Davis didn't have the radiator I wanted (with -16 bungs) in stock and it would have been 8 to 12 weeks wait, but they did have one in stock with 1 1/4" nipples, so I ordered that and swapped the fittings out.

Re: 8.50 index build
Space up front was pretty tight so I had to get a little creative to fit the fuel system.
Had a customer show me this style pre-filter which helped save a bunch of room and plumbing. It's a bulkhead filter that goes inside the fuel cell.  Post filter support/mount.
