Nonamekid's BP with G-series swap

[zoom zoom]

Nice man, Grats! I can't wait for that day...

[nonamekid]

Finally, its alive, sort of. After getting the second motor into the car and rebuilding my mounts properly, I fired it up today. No exhaust after the downpipe so it was pretty loud. The charging light was on in the dash, but the battery was showing it was getting 15V, so I am not sure on the reason for that. Also I haven't installed the shifter on to the tranny so I was not able to test drive it or run it through the gears. I need to also finish mounting all the wiring in the fender area. I put the battery in the trunk but I still need to install that properly. But it runs, so I am pretty happy about that.

We have a couple of those at my work, it should do anything you need it to

[nonamekid]

Yah, I was going to get a gas blend as that seems to be what everybody is recommending for mig welding. Gonna watch some videos too on technique, I know the principles and basic theory, I just need alot of practice.

[Movin]

Awesome!! enjoy it, I like the blend for gas.

[nonamekid]

My wife loves me. Bought a used mig welder last night. Lincoln 255C. It is about 3 years old and got used lightly for farm use. This will work alot better than my cheap HF flux core welder. I can't wait to start playing with it. My wife is still not complete sold on the fact that I needed it. Now just got to go to the store and get some gas and weld a 220 plug into the shop. Might have alot of fun the next 2 weekends.

I can't believe you guys go hiding all that stuff in your fenders... I blew a main fuse out of the blue once an hour from home.. Was an easy fix with it just under the hood

[nonamekid]

I would love to make it to fm6... Summer is just a bad time for me due to construction season. Plus I got to get the car running first.

[kumalaba]

makes for a clean job, maybe you can convoy with max & bring it to fm6!

[nonamekid]

Everybody is doing it.

Lol. I don't know about everybody...

I like how you moved the coil inside the fender too. I was thinking about going mild with my wire tuck, but I like what you did there. Might have to copy that while I wait for the rest of my parts....

[Flyin4stroke]

If anything happens I will be pulling the fender. It is alot cleaner though. I didn't realize damkid already mounted all of his wires in the fender. Everybody is doing it.

[nonamekid]

I figured since I had to add the extra wires for the BP swap and I want to look nice, might as well do it right. Now lets just hope I can get everything done before April 14. I would hate for that day to be its maiden voyage, so I am working to get her done before hand. Might have to take some more vacation days.

[Ford Fester]

doin a wire tuck eh?

[nonamekid]

I just realized that may not work for me. I am not putting any of the wires through the front except for those used for the lights. The rest of the wiring will be coming from the back of the motor, so I may need to lengthen the wires to put it in near the hole.
