Nice wagon dude.

Sweet ride! So many cool cars... So little time. I've been ping ponging back and forth for over a year with my Caravelle. Pull the slant... Don't pull the slant... Pull the slant... Don't pull the slant. Oh well, I'll figure it out. Meantime, keep us posted on your baby. Can't wait to see her plum crazy.

 

[efriedrich]

Pull the slant lol. What would you put in its place, BB or SB.

 

[Eastyorker]

I'd put a 440 in the Caravelle. This thread shows how easy it is to do!

No updates yet. But I did get a front pulley setup and alternator from 440 source. Should have it put on sometime this weekend. I paid my daily driver off so now I got some more funds that can go toward it

I used the Schumacher mounts in mine. Minor grinding on the frame and they fit pretty good.

B body transmission cooler lines on and the wiring harness all wrapped up. Put the headlight relays in the same spot where the Diagnotic port was.

Still gotta clean up the factory aux trans cooler before I hook up the driver side line. Pass side hooked up in the right spot.

Got my pulley setup from 440 source. Really nice product for the money and it comes with a Gates belt. Also mocked the fan up to see the clearance. Now all I gotta get is a good shroud and my transmission cooler cleaned up

Getting real close to fire in the hole.

Nicely, nicely done.... I'm really encouraged by the clearances and the "factoy" look. I can see one in my Imperial now. Source a power brake booster and let me see that in there too, lol Keep the pics coming.

Great thread, your car is coming along nicely and looks sweet!

 

[Wagonmaster]

Trans cooler is cleaned up and ready. Just gotta hook the hoses up and clean the steel lines that go over the core support

 

[bremereric]

I like your little companion.

 

[Wagonmaster]

Just got the little companion and she's already following me around everywhere. Lab/Border Collie mix. 9 weeks old and friendly as can be

Hopefully she will want to go for a ride someday and won't pee in the wagon when you spin the tires. :icon_cheers:

 

[Wagonmaster]

New gas tank and trans cooler hooked up

Nice work...I like your color choice too!

The 440 just looks right. Need to get the correct pie tin though

Im thinking of running the bench seat and vinyl floor out of this 89 Gran Fury police car

The 440 just looks right.
