I got the camshaft sent off on Tuesday along with the lifters. It was delivered Friday so now the long wait begins. In other news, I met a gentleman this morning and sold the 261. It was hard to see it go, but it was the right call I think.

Friday night (today is Sunday) I got the new motor mounts (ME218 from Jim Carter) installed on the bellhousing and was able to get the motor to drop in. I am getting a little bit (a lot) of direct contact with the SM420 on the rear cross member, so I am going to need to slightly modify the cross member to get some clearance. Worse case scenario, If I ruin the cross member, I do have a spare frame with a good one in it.

I am currently going to college part time, so I may not have a lot of time now that the semester is starting, but Ill try to get a little work in every once in a while.
