Some updates, still going slowly.  To free up room in my shop for the up coming winter (I have 2 Dodge full size trucks a tractor and the car in my shop). I went ahead and installed the engine back into the car, before completing the body work and painting  To save time and money, I sprayed the engine compartment with Raptor bed-liner before installing. I did work on it for about 3-4 hours yesterday, installed the correct transmission mount and new speedometer cable, installed and connected the wiring to the alternator, started working installing the Holley electric fuel pump. I also took the driveshaft to a machine shop to be shortened 5.25 inches (from a Matador with the correct 727 yoke).

I also removed the old wiring harness from the extra dash that I have to start working on repairing the cracked plastic dash.

Ok, been a while since my last post.. made some serious headway.  The car is back up on 4 wheels and running like a female canine in heat!

Below in the link to the engine running.  It has about 30 minutes of breakin time at the time of the video

The project 68 Javelin SST is now becoming a donor car (parts that I have already replaced, engine brakes, front end, springs) for a new project a 69 AMX.  Preferred the AMX, but came across this first.

OH, it's not going away and not being cut up...just put on the back burner for a while...it's too good of shape to do that.  Just using the new parts I have already purchased for the AMX.  When I purchased this Javelin I also got a everything except the chassis from another cars. The gentleman had 2 cars but the other was totally stripped down to the bare chassis.  It was a Pennsylvania rust bucket, but he had purchased every panel to replace the floor pans, trunk pan, rockers (both inner and outer) fiberglass quarter panels and a fiberglass AMX hood.  This Javelin was a complete car, so I got an extra of everything.  I recouped my money already, buy selling off the 4 speed setup from the other car.
