Hey all, finally installed the new engine/msd street fire/coil/recon radiator and thermo fan.... but ran into a few dramas.....
-My new extractors required me to remove my brake booster/ master cylinder assy. to fit it and they are just touching the top of the drivers side engine mount(metal).  Has anyone had this issue before? I am going to have to go an aftermarket pedal box of some kind. 
-Noticed my passenger side engine mount is broken.
-Also noticed by altenator bracker is cracked
-Went to install the new fuel line (3/8") from the tank forward and a new electric fuel pump, undid the fuel line at the bottom of the tank and no fuel came out, lowered the car and the hoist and the checked the tank. Only to find its 1/4 full.  The car has been "marinating" for a few years, so i reamed out the outlet of the tank and there was some quite disturbing fluid in the tank (mostly a rusty red color) but some pretty serious sludge in the bottom YAY... 
So all in all a very productive day by was thinking at the start of the day I'd be able to take it for a spin at the end...... Oh well
Will chuck some pics up tomorrow

Also forgot to mention the strut brace mount is obviously not fitted just recieved it from steve @ smcka and just making sure it will fit
Ordered some parts today
- 45 litre foam filled fuel cell with sender
- Pedal Box with bias and cylinders (cable clutch)
- Straight cut gear set for the 4 speed with the ratio's I want
So will be very happy when they arrive, but the bank account is not looking the best at the moment haha
