"keeping up with the Jones' "
part 1,
part 2
Part 3 - Wiring, Starting
the 360, The Finished Product, and Accessories
With the engine setting in
the bay work started on all the wiring. The original
wiring harness was discarded and a new harness from Painless
Wiring was installed.
Now that the wiring was
completed it was time to fire up the 360. All
connections, hoses, and lines were double checked before
starting. With a twist of the key the AMC V8 came to
life. There is a special feeling with hearing an
engine run for the first time. The sounds and smells
can be uplifting to a motor head. With the initial
startup and break-in finished the engine needed to be timed
and fine tuned. Also, a test drive around the
neighborhood was needed, after all, it's been almost 2 years
in the works.

Now that the
engine is in and things are coming together it is time for
accessories. Seats, bumpers, tires, and others were
installed to complete the project. Below is a list of
accessories.
