My BIL installed a 305 Chevy small block in one, quite a project but he built many stock cars over many years. The goal was to keep it looking stock and he managed that with only minor visual clues. As I remember the entire drive train was changed out and the exhaust manifolds came from a Tahoe. Don't remember many details and he and his wife are long gone.

One of the 5 that hit started out as a waterspout off of Lake Ontario near Lockport

Glad you guys are OK... Here in RI it's Hurricanes, - we have had Waterspouts in the Bay though. For NY and west, it's "Auntie Em, Auntie Em watch."

Where to get a wiring harness or not...

That is a 1987 only wiring, Model # 31-10K804 and should work in a 31-14K802. -
Tornado alley is moving East and more north than the classic Oklahoma Kansas corridor.

Glad you dodged the bullet.

Bill D replied to Jeremy J's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
Not sure where you are in NY, but I may have a wiring harness from a 310-8 that had a Magnum engine and the two circuit stator with the 3 amp charging circuit and separate AC lighting circuit. I also have a shed full of spare parts if you're looking for something. -
Without being 100% smart alek about this, they did install a v6 in later models. Wright wise, this front end is a bit dainty, but has a coil over setup. Maybe a bit beefier spring? I don’t plan to break records, road or track, just have fun and increase drivability.

Many times I have posted in here that in the 38 years I have lived in my house the power has hardly ever gone out. and when it does it usually less than an hour. That all changed Wednesday night. We had severe storms forecast. The weather pattern here is usually a storm will go north or south and sometimes even split and we get nothing. My wife was working. She was due to get out of work at 8:30. They decided with the lightning flashing like the flashbulbs at a Super bowl kickoff it was best to close early. At 8:20 I put the dog out quick and the rain started coming. I saw her pull into the driveway and got the dog in. Opened the door for her as she got in the rain came. Just a hard rain then at 8:40 the wind picked up. I watched my weather station wind speed and it was a constant 20MPH + with a 38 MPH gust. Then the power went out so that died. I watched out my bay window and I could see the rain whirling around with each lightning flash. A big pine tree's branches were banging on the house. By 9:30 is was over except for some more lightning. I looked out and saw neighbors with flashlights looking around. So I went out and found oor doggie flag on the ground. Pole holder snapped off. A couple of tomato plants knocked over and a medium sized branch on the ground. I figured no big deal. Morning came and still no power. Went outside and saw the debris everywhere. We got lucky. Neighbors not so much. I saw a street sign that was about 20 feet from my house blown down from NW to SE. My tomato plants blown down from SW to NE. The flag w to E. Neighbors flag pole from n to S. I drove to the north side of the village and it's nuts. They took the brunt. Turns out there were 5 Tornadoes in NY Wed. The one that hit me was an EF1. Another formed about 7 miles west of me that traveled about 7 miles SE was an EF 2. I saw a pic somewhere of a large camper flipped onto it's roof. I think we were on the south edge of the EFI but the EF2 was just a few miles south Kept getting updates on when power would be back. It was getting later and later. I decided to go to Horror Fright and see if they had any genny's left. They did so I bought the bullet and got a 2000 inverter model. I figured if I bought it power would be on when I got home. Well it wasn't so I set it up. Used a Bill's Mafia table to keep the rain off of it and ran our fridge, tankless water heater and charged the wife's phone all at the same time. Really needed that shower!!! @rjg854 add your pics! I may never need it again but NY is beginning to become another Nado Alley. I figure if having a Genny keeps the power out cooties away it's worth it. Pics of the hood and surrounding area We're right in the little yellow circle. This is a pic from a weather guy south of me. He screen shotted this off of a video he took. I think this is the EF 2

Tanks guys, after cleaning the carb for the seventh time I must have finally got it clean. This ugly girl runs good now.

Will any weight difference between the two fully-installed engines affect front suspension dynamics? Is the rest of the drive train stout enough?

I was left alone unsupervised last night… I started brainstorming. The engine runs, but the cooling system, is very crunchy. Literally, the coolant has dried into a crunchy substance. I have a perfectly good, fresh built, .030” over 4.3L V6 Chevy engine, an NV3500 5 speed, and lots more GM based parts than Triumph. The engine and transmission out of the way would help to be able restore the floor. At least that’s my story. The radiator has plenty of room to move forward and down, to clear the hood. I believe the steering rack will be the limiting factor to lower the engine down, but people have made V8s work, I should be able to deal with a V6. I know how to find out…

Yes there is an out port on the front. That is probably at least part of my problem.

And then in 1937, The Polaroid Camera came out, giving Kodak a run for their money. The Polaroid SX-70 was the first camera to offer instant developing of the film, I believe. Then, decades later, Digital Cameras became popular as their purchase prices dropped. Now everyone uses the built-in camera on their cell phones.... The more things change, the more things change...
