Scott probably has 10 or so either at his place or within easy reach at the JYs nearby him. I have one spare for just in case for my 88 since one fried on me already...

Onto the inside heater box where the core is located. As you might expect. it doesn't fit, but its not far off.
But this time I can't shave the box down because the flaps are too close to the outside of the casing, so there's no choice but to modify the firewall and trans tunnel.
Got to be careful I don't get too close to the top of the transmission if I ever have to pull the engine again!
Here's the largish hole!
I'll weld it up when I hoist the body off the chassis in a few weeks.
Here's a fabbed bracket bonded to the underside of the air recirculation box to secure the heater boxes together through the firewall (just to the left of the drain hole).
Fitted the plenum to the motor today, but the throttle cable was slightly too tight, so I spaced the bracket off the plenum about 10 mm.
I'll see how that works out with the engine flexing about.

I'm liking the heater box mods! Looking far, far better than the way I attempted a comparable surgery. (I didn't mess much with the inside bit, though I did relocate the resistor block to the inside.)2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

Right its shortening pedals time.
Here's the full length gas pedal
and here's the pedal shortened awaiting finishing and final welding
And bolted back into its new welded in mounting place
Now the brake pedal wants shortening
Here's a section cutout awaiting welding back together
and fully welded with the missing bit looking on!

Don't know whats more painful, having a nerve trapped in your back with the inevitable red hot daggers down my right leg all day, or trying to get this damn car to work again!
Anyway, back to the heater. Last job to do is the shrinking down of the lower centre air vent that directs air over the trans tunnel and down to the footwells.
This is how big it was in height
and this is the new lower profile design
Now thats finally done, its refitting dash (joy) and steering column and see if I can get the column to connect up to the steering box!
And servo removed to get access for cutting and welding.
Here's the firewall cut out a bit more and ready to tack in position. The UJ misses the bottom of the servo by about 10mm! But it works and it steers!
Finish weld that up, strip it all out again and its hoisting up off the chassis for its final welding and painting underneath.
May even get this to the paint shop this year!!

Decided my next project already!! And this is nowhere near finished yet!
I want a 1977 Ford LTD with the 460 in it! I watched the first terminator film again the other day (for about the 50th time) and saw Kyle Reece hot wiring one and then falling asleep in it and dreaming of nasty things. Then proceeded to let Arnie punch through the windshield before abandoning it in a parkinlot and swapping it for a FWD caddy!!
Anybody else remember this?
Am I mad!!
