Found my transmission problem:
Good thing I have accumulated a couple of spares. Also found a modified convertor to allow the 727 to bolt up to the earlier BW crank engine: So most likely it is the same engine, just a different transmission from 1991. Edited by WesternRed - Jul/15/2017 at 5:07am |

I think the transmission will live again, just need to order some new parts, no major damage done.
In the meantime I've bee working on the steering conversion, it was a bit agricultural to say the least: Good thing the original LHD bits of the firewall were still intact, so the best option is to put things back as the factory intended: Welded, just needs the obligatory skim of bog: Going for the clean look so I've deleted the blower motor and other heater control openings.

A lot of progress here. At this rate it will be on the road before long. Keep the photos coming.

I'll follow these lines a little ways more,
Until I can find what I'm looking for. With the pedal to the metal, I'm gaining my speed. Riding down low in my AMC..... |

Despite the stinking hot summer weather over the last few days, I have finally managed to finish getting the engine bay stripped.
Had to do a bit of rust repair behind one of the hood hinges, but that was pretty much it, the rest is nice and solid: Edited by WesternRed - Jul/15/2017 at 5:14am |

Yes, might as well give it a coat of paint while everything is out then put everything back in fresh. V8 will be going back in, might not be the same one as I have another 360 I might end up using instead.

Very nice on both counts, I doubt mine will ever be that nice, the rest of the car is going for the "just saved from the wrecking yard look", which is pretty much the case.
