While I wait for the heads, I started prepping the car so it's at least ready for the engine.
I refinished the frame and rebuilt the suspension last Spring, but it had gotten dusty so I wiped that all down and installed the new engine harness I got from Ames over the Summer.
I had the TH400 rebuilt back in April. I've been tripping over it in the garage ever since, so I put it back in the car. Happy to see that the Harbor Freight trans jack is low enough to support the trans while the engine is out when the car is off jack stands.
I installed new stainless cooler lines and associated plastic clip (which I didn't know was a thing) from Inline Tube. They took a little tweaking, but they ended up fitting pretty well. Reinstalled the cleaned up driveshaft as well.
I have a shipment from Ames coming this Friday with all the '68 Ram Air stuff. I wasn't going to install it, but figured I might as well complete the look since I've gone this far.
