Thanks man! Glad to have it back.
So looks like JB Fab had a mixup on cables and such on the date mine shipped. I ended up getting 3ft cables instead of 4ft. And I was missing the 203 cable kit. He's sending the new parts today or tomorrow so I should have them by the end of the week.
Header is going to be a bitch. Plain and simple. Gotta pull the engine crossover section and raise the motor. After that, I can fill with fluids and fire it up

Well I have been working on this thing pretty much everyday, doing all the little things trying to get it all back together again.
I got it started today, but it's still not staying running, and I could smell fuel in the cab, so the fuel pump is working, now I just need to figure out why it isn't making it to the motor.
And I've deleted the pats so that isn't the issue. Somehow the fuel isn't getting to the engine.
And now nothing on the dash works... I don't know who effed that up but it was working fine when I took it to TN, and now the dash lights don't work, the gauges are going bonkers, but the ignition switch and dingers work..

Does your fuel setup have a send and a return or is it a return less setup? If it has a return you can check and make sure you have the lines going to the pressure regulator right. I jacked that up on my swap. Also on your dash wiring issue, check the fuses and battery connection. I've had a loose ground really throw that crap into a frenzy

Rick, you want to chime in here regarding the lines?
Also found 4 wires severed under the seat, and one happened to be the ground, so REALLY hoping she kicks over tomorrow.

What's the difference? Still 2" blocks and they both fit on the spring perches?
What do you want to see pictures of?
After all this hell I've been through with this ****er, I wish I would have done something with more power.

Vent line to the tank was tied back into the tank, creating a vacuum just as Kyle told me. Then the fuel line had a hole, then the wiring was frayed, but now it at least runs
Taking it go my dads body shop this weekend

hey guys, need some help. I have these two vacuum lines that don't fit each other, and I have no idea where they go. Can anyone help?
Also, those of you running a 203 as a crawl box, which shifter arm do I use??
Shifter cables all hooked up and mocked into place. I'll get my pops to help with the sheet metal repairs from "fitting" the assemblies in there.
